Extension Tables

1.Mount a cast iron table to the edge of the main table with three M8 x 25 hex cap screws (Figure 9) using a 12mm wrench. Do not fully tighten yet.

2.The extension table must be leveled with the main table. Place a straight edge (such as a jointed board) across the extension table and the main table.

NOTE: The straight edge should not lie over the raised table rollers, as this would distort the leveling process. Either place the straight edge just short of the table rollers, or lower the table rollers completely into the table (see page 11) while mounting the extension tables.

3.Insert three socket set screws with a 4mm hex wrench, and screw them in or out as needed until tables are level.

4.Securely tighten the hex cap screws.

5.Mount the second extension table to the opposite side of the planer table, using the same procedure.

Dust Hood

Mount the dust hood to the rear of the head casting with three M6 x 12 socket head cap screws with lock washers, and three M5 x 10 hex cap screws with flat washers. See Figure 10.

It is recommended that you use a dust collection system with this planer. If you are not using a dust collection system, do not attach the dust hood to the planer, as the accumulation of dust inside the hood may create a safety hazard, or eventually cause jamming of the rollers.

Electrical Connections

Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.

A power plug is not provided with the 15S or 15HH planers. You may either connect a 230 volt plug or "hard-wire" the machine directly to your electrical panel provided there is a disconnect near the machine. Consult electrical schematic on page 38 for further clarification of wiring setup.

Figure 10

It is recommended that the 15S or 15HH Planer be connected to a dedicated, minimum 40 amp circuit with a 40 amp circuit breaker or time delay fuse. Local codes take precedence over recommendations.
