Once assembly is complete, you are ready to test
run the machine.
Test Run
DO NOT attempt to investigate or adjust the
machine while it is running. Wait until the
machine is turned off, unplugged and all
working parts have come to a complete stop
before you do anything!
To test run the planer:
1. Plug the planer into the power source.
2. Move the ON/OFF switch to the ON position.
Make sure that your finger is poised on the
STOP button, just in case there is a problem.
3. Run the Model G0505 for a short time to
ensure that the moving parts are working
properly with no excessive vibration.
The planer should run smoothly, with little or no
vibration or rubbing noises. Strange or unnatural
noises should be investigated and corrected
before operating the machine further.
If any problem develops, correct it before attempt-
ing to use the machine.
If you cannot locate the source of unusual noises,
contact our service department for help.
For your safety and for the proper operation of the
machine, ensure that the chip deflector is secured
before operation. The chip deflector directs wood
chips away from the cutterhead during operation,
and it covers the cutterhead and feed rollers for
operator safety.
To secure the chip deflector:
1. Align the chip deflector with the two studs
mounted at the exit side of the planer.
2. Set chip deflector in place and use the two
wing nuts and washers to secure. See Figure
