MOUNTING PLANER TO WORKBENCH
If your planer is to be used in a permanent location, it is
recommended you secure it to a workbench or other stable
surface. When mounting the planer to a workbench, holes
should be drilled through the supporting surface of the
workbench.
Mark holes on workbench where planer is to be mounted
using holes in planer base as a template for hole pattern.
Drill four holes through workbench.
Place planer on workbench aligning holes in the planer
base with holes drilled in the workbench.
Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with
lock washers and hex nuts (not included).
NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install
the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the
workbench.
Supporting surface where planer is mounted should be
examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement
during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted,
secure workbench or support surface before beginning
planing operation.
CLAMPING PLANER TO WORKBENCH
See Figure 9.
If the planer is to be used as a portable tool, it is recommended
you fasten it permanently to a mounting board that can easily
be clamped to a workbench or other stable surface. The
mounting board should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping
while planer is in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard
with a 3/4 in. (19 mm) thickness is recommended.
Mark holes on board where planer is to be mounted
using holes in planer base as a template for hole
pattern.
Follow last three steps in section
Mounting Planer to
Workbench.
If lag bolts are used, make sure they are long enough to go
through holes in planer base and material the planer is being
mounted to. If machine bolts are used, make sure bolts are
long enough to go through holes in planer base, the material
being mounted to, and the lock washers and hex nuts.
INSTALLING THE DUST CHUTE
See Figure 10.
Unplug your planer.
WARNING:
Failure to turn the tool off, remove the switch key,
and unplug the tool before servicing or making ad-
justments could result in accidental starting causing
possible serious personal injury.
From the back of the machine, locate the dust chute
knobs on the cutter head assembly.
See Figure 10.
Turning counterclockwise, loosen each screw.
Aligning the dust chute over the holes on the cutter head
assembly, replace the dust chute knobs by turning them
clockwise.
NOTE: To minimize sawdust accumulation on your
workpiece, attach either a 2-1/2 in. (64 mm) or 4 in.
(102 mm) shop vac hose to either the left or right end of
the dust chute.
