•
If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer/molder "off" and
reset the circuit by pressing the button.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet
boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper
ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-
fied electrician.
EXTENSION
CORDS
•
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop
in voltage and loss of power.
•
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size
to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.
•
The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G.14.
Do not use extension cords over 25 ft. long.
•
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong
grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which
accept the tool plug.
•
If the extension cord is worn, cut or damaged in any
way, replace it immediately.

CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
Make sure unit is off and disconnected
from power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is installed and wiring connected as illustrat-
ed in the wiring schematic (see Figure 6).
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 110 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole locking rocker switch.
The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.

•
Removing the rocker switch key will lock the unit and
prevent unauthorized use.
A manual reset overload protector is installed in line
with the power supply to the motor. If the planer/molder
is overloaded, the protector will break the circuit.
Refer to Figures 7 - 25.
DESCRIPTION
Sears 13" planer/molder finishes rough-cut lumber to
size and planes soft and hardwoods up to 6" thick and
13" wide. Produces decorative designs including furni-
ture moldings, baseboards, casings, picture frames,
tongue and groove, glue joints, rabetting and much
more. Wood feeds into three-blade cutterhead by
adjustable rubber in-feed/out-feed
rollers. Large 13"x
19" cast iron table has precision ground steel columns
for smooth feeding of the workpiece and reducing vibra-
tion. Motor has overload protection and is enclosed in
the base of the machine, away from wood chips and
dust. The gearbox offers two speeds: 20 ft/min, for fast
planing, and 10 ft/min for smooth finish molding. The
tool comes with anti-kickback mechanism for added
safety, and built-in carrying handles.
OPERATION
SAFETY
RULES
WARNING:
Operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety pre-
cautions:
•
Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-
cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3 and 5).
•
Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on
planer/molder, turn switch off and remove plug from
power source.
•
Make sure all guards are properly attached and
securely fastened.
•
Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
•
Always wear eye protection or face shield.
•
Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached
to cutterhead.
•
Do not plug in planer/molder unless switch is in "off"
position. After turning switch on, allow planer/molder
to come to full speed before operating.
•
Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or little used
operation without study and the use of adequate jigs,
fixtures and the like.
•
Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
•
Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat
motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.
•
Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood.
•
Do not plane material shorter than 15", narrower
than 3A", wider than 13" or thinner than 1/2".
•
Never make planing cut deeper than %2".
