INSTALLATION
It is important that the machine be located on a solid, level platform. Find a location that has easy
access to 110-120 Volt electrical service. Make sure this machine is located in a well lighted and
well ventilated area. The floor should be resistant to vibration. There must be adequate room to
insert and remove workpieces through the planer.
To permanently install the machine, check the platform to be sure it is even and level. Make any
required corrections to the platform. If the base brackets are not attached to each lower corner
of the machine, attach them using the supplied hardware. Mark and drill holes, and mount the
machine using bolts and nuts.
If the machine will not be permanently installed, it is advisable to attach it to wooden skids by
means of the base brackets. The skids should be solid hardwood at least 1” in thickness and 2”
in width. Route these skids along each side of the machine from front to back. Each skid should
extend several inches beyond the machine to allow them to be firmly clamped to the work surface
before using the machine.
WARNING: Never operate this machine if it is not firmly attached to a work surface. If
left unattached, the machine may move along the work surface possibly falling over,
ejecting the work piece, or creating other hazards which can cause serious injury.
Electrical Power
This machine requires a 110-120V 60 Hz grounded power supply. This power is available in most
common household or workshop outlets in the United States. Please observe the following safety
precautions. (Note: Voltage variations of more than + or - 10% from the specification will result
in noticeable reduction of service, and may cause damage to the motor).
Route the power cord in a way that avoids damage to the cord from other tools or machinery, and
isolates the cord from exposure to wet or corrosive conditions.
Avoid routing cord along the floor, walkways, or halls, where it may cause a trip hazard.
Be sure the outlet is grounded and protected with an appropriate circuit breaker. Check with a
qualified electrician if you have any doubts or concerns about your electrical service.
If you will use an extension cord, be sure to use a 3-prong, grounded cord. Preferably the cord will
be UL listed. Know that long extension cords cause a noticeable power drop. It is necessary to
use cords of the proper gauge to avoid excessive resistance or power drop within the cord. Please
comply with the following table.
