Installing Dust Hood

Mount the dust hood with the eight M6 x 10mm hex screws, eight spring washers, and eight flat washers. See Figure 3.

It is strongly recommended that a dust collection

 

system be connected to the 5” port on the

 

planer’s dust hood. The system should be of

 

sufficient volume for this size planer. If a dust

 

collection system is not used, the user is

 

cautioned against the health hazard and the

 

limitations in the OSHA regulation for employee

 

or student exposure to dust particles.

Grounding Instructions

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

This machine must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.

Improper connection of the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes, is the equipment- grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded.

Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the Planer. The machine should be connected to a dedicated circuit.

You may either install a plug or “hard-wire” the Planer directly to a control panel. If the Planer is to be hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator. During hard-wiring of the Planer, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the machine will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the Planer is being wired.

201HH specifications

The Powermatic 201HH is a highly regarded 8-inch jointer, renowned for its robust construction, precision, and advanced technology. This machine is particularly well-suited for both professional woodworkers and serious hobbyists who demand the best performance from their tools.

One of the standout features of the Powermatic 201HH is the Helical Cutterhead. This technology distinguishes it from standard jointers featuring straight knives. The helical design incorporates numerous small, square inserts that can be rotated or replaced when worn, significantly extending the overall life of the cutterhead. The helical arrangement reduces noise during operation and provides a much smoother finish on the workpiece, minimizing the need for additional sanding.

Adjustability is another area where the Powermatic 201HH excels. It boasts an easy-to-use tables adjustment mechanism that allows users to fine-tune the infeed and outfeed tables for precise jointing. This feature is essential to ensure a perfectly flat and even surface on all types of wood. The large tables, measuring 74 inches in length, provide ample support for larger workpieces, making it easier to manage and maneuver materials during operation.

The 201HH also comes equipped with a powerful 3 HP motor that drives the machine with reliability and performance. This motor is a key component in delivering consistent power and maintaining speed even under heavier workloads. Coupled with a strong base and solid construction, the jointer maintains stability during operation, which contributes to both safety and precision.

Added convenience comes in the form of an integrated dust collection port, which facilitates cleaner operation by effectively managing sawdust and shavings. This reduces cleanup time and creates a more pleasant working environment.

Moreover, the design of the Powermatic 201HH incorporates safety features, including a push block that assists in guiding stock through the machine, minimizing the risk of injury. The solid build quality and attention to detail in the engineering provide confidence to users that they are working with a reliable tool that will stand the test of time.

In summary, the Powermatic 201HH offers an impressive array of features including a helical cutterhead, extensive adjustability, a powerful motor, efficient dust collection, and strong safety measures. These characteristics make it a top choice for anyone looking to achieve exceptional results in their woodworking projects.
