Test Run

Complete this process once you have familiarized yourself with all instructions in this manual. The purpose of the test run is to make sure the motor is working properly before proceeding.

To perform a test run, do these steps:

1.Read the entire manual, and make sure oil is in the gearbox.

2.Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the machine.

3.Put on safety glasses, and secure loose clothes or long hair.

4.Press the green button to turn the machine ON. The planer should run smoothly with little or no vibra- tion.

—If you suspect any problems, immediately turn the planer OFF by pushing the red STOP button. Refer to Page 40 to troubleshoot/fix any problems before starting the planer again.

—If the source of an unusual noise or vibration is not readily apparent, contact our technical support for help at (360) 734-3482 or contact us online at tech-support@shopfox.biz.

Tighten V-Belts

The final step in the set up process must be done after approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16 hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves. After this 16 hours, the V-belts must be ten- sioned or your belts will slip and burn out. Refer to Page 24 when you are ready to perform this important adjust- ment.

Note: Pulleys and belts run very hot. This is a normal condition. Allow them to cool before making adjustments.

Note: A collection of black belt dust at the bottom of the belt housing is a normal during the life of the machine and does not indicate premature belt failure is in prog- ress.

Loose hair and clothing could get caught in machinery and cause serious personal injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.
