Model G0790 (Mfd. Since 9/15)
Note: Any time you switch directions with
cutterhead elevation handle, there will be
a small amount of backlash—so first crank
of handle after switching directions will be
slightly less than
1
⁄16". However, as long as
you move handle in same direction during
operation, backlash will not be a factor.
3. Turn cutterhead elevation crank ¼ turn clock-
wise to raise cutterhead approximately
1
⁄64".
This will set depth of cut to
1
⁄32". Remove
workpiece from planer.
4. Turn planer ON.
5. With flat side of board facing down on table,
feed workpiece into front of planer, making
sure not to stand directly in front or behind
workpiece to reduce the risk of a kickback
injury.
— If cut is too deep and bogs down planer,
turn planer OFF immediately, allow it to
come to a complete stop, raise cutterhead,
remove workpiece, reduce depth of cut,
then repeat Step 5.
Note: Infeed and outfeed rollers will control
feed rate of workpiece as it passes through
planer. Do not push or pull on workpiece.
6. Once workpiece is clear of outfeed roller,
measure workpiece thickness. If further plan-
ing is needed, lower cutterhead by turning
elevation crank handle ½ turn (
1
⁄32"), return
the workpiece to the infeed table, then con-
tinue.
7. Continue this process until desired thick-
ness is reached. Depth of cut indicator scale
shows approximate thickness of workpiece
after it has been cut. Use this indicator to
judge when thickness is approximately cor-
rect. For more precise applications, use a
caliper to measure workpiece thickness.
