(H). Do not use planer for constructing base
pieces until it is checked out and adjust-
ments have been made as required.
2. Layout the two planer mounting hole loca-
tions on each piece.

er using four

vided. See Figure 3.
Alternatively, the planer can be directly mounted
to a bench or table top, or to a Shop Fox

the rear of the planer.
2. Set chip deflector in place and replace the
two socket head cap screws. See Figure 2.
