OPERATIONS

General

The Model W1747 will perform many types of operations that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor- rectly.

The instructions in this section are written with the under- standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any time you are experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop using the machine!

If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom- mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training from an experienced planer operator before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all, your safety should come first!

Basic Operation

The W1747 table moves approximately 1/16" with one turn of the handwheel.

The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:

1.Put on safety glasses, respirator, and ear muffs.

2.Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane the workpiece on a jointer until it is flat—having the face flat will ensure that it sits flat on the planer table during operation.

3.Adjust the table height slightly lower than your workpiece to ensure the first cut is as light as pos- sible (approximately 1/32"–1/16"). This cut removes any excessive high spots.

4.Start the planer.

5.Making sure not to stand directly in front or behind the workpiece to avoid kickback injury, place the flat side of the board down on the table, and feed the workpiece through the planer.

—If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer, turn the planer OFF immediately, allow it to come to a complete stop, remove the workpiece, and repeat Steps 3–5.

READ and understand this entire instruc- tion manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and followed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears could result from using this machine without proper protective gear. Always wear safety glasses, a respirator, and hearing protection when operating this machine.

OFF

DO NOT investigate problems or adjust the planer while it is running. Wait until the machine is turned OFF and all working parts have come to a complete stop before proceeding!
