OPERATIONS

General

The Model W1754 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!

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!

Basic Operation

The 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 hearing protec- tion.

2.Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane one face of 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, and remove the workpiece. Lower the table, then repeat Steps 2–5.
