Installation and Assembly
Tools required:
10, 11 and 13mm wrenches
Remove the screws holding the base of the
machine to the skid, and lift the planer/molder
off the skid.
The machine area should be clean, dry, well
ventilated, and well lighted. Since planers can
create noise problems, the site selection should
be one which minimizes reverberant sound from
walls, ceilings and other equipment. The
machine’s wheels should be in the locked
position prior to use.
