Use and Care Manual

ADJUSTING THE TABLE LEVEL

Small screws appear underneath either side of both the infeed and outfeed tables, directly next to the hinge.

These screws can be adjusted to make sure the tables are exactly level with the main working table. Small adjust-

ments can be made, using a test piece of wood for test cuts.

LUBRICATION

Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need no lubrication. Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned

of debris and greased as needed.

CLEANING THE PLANER

Keep planer clean of any wood chips, dust, dirt or debris. After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears

should have wood chips, dust and old grease removed. Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate all

chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears have plenty of grease. Clean the granite table using a soft, damp

cloth. Do not use any waxes, oils or solvents on the table.

MAINTENANCE

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT (Fig. 17)

Brush life depends on the load of the motor. Regularly inspect brushes

after 100 hours of use. Brushes are located on either side of the planer

motor, on both the front and rear side of the planer.

Loosen brush cap and carefully remove brush from motor. Replace

brushes if the spring is damaged. Replace brushes if the carbon is worn.

Tighten brush caps after replacement.

WARNING: Turn planer off and disconnect from power source before

performing any maintenance.
