Shop Preparation

•Floor Load: Your planer represents a large weight load in a small footprint. Most commercial floors are suitable for the planer. Some residential floors may require additional bracing to support both machine and operator.

•Working Clearances: Consider existing and anticipated needs, size of material to be processed through each machine, and space for auxiliary stands, work tables or other machinery when establishing a location for your planer.

•Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits should be dedicated or large enough to handle amperage requirements. Outlets should be located near each machine so power or extension cords are clear of high- traffic areas. Observe local electrical codes for proper installation of new lighting, outlets, or circuits.

USE power lifting equipment, your planer is a heavy load. Serious personal injury may occur if safe moving methods are not followed.

MAKE your shop “child safe.” Ensure that your workplace is inaccessible to youngsters by closing and locking all entrances when you are away. NEVER allow untrained visitors in your shop when assembling, adjusting or operating equipment.

Cleaning Planer

The table and other unpainted parts of your planer are coated with a waxy grease that protects them from corrosion during shipment. Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine- based solvents—if you happen to splash some onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.

NEVER use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents to clean with. Most have low flash points, which make them extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if these products are used. Serious personal injury may occur if this warning is ignored!

NEVER smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

ALWAYS work in well- ventilated areas far from possible ignition sources when using solvents to clean machinery. Many solvents are toxic when inhaled or ingested. Use care when disposing of waste rags and towels to be sure they do not create fire or environmental hazards.
