Assembly

Tools required for assembly:

Forklift or hoist with slings Pliers

Open-End Wrenches (10,12,19mm) – provided Hex Wrenches, 4 and 5mm – provided

Remove the screws holding the planer to the pallet and use a forklift or hoist to lift the planer off the pallet. Forks and straps should always be placed under the four lifting handles when lifting this machine (Figure 5). The lifting handles can be pushed back in when not in use.

The planer should be operated in a well-lit area with a sturdy floor and good ventilation. It can be rolled on its casters to the desired location. Tighten the lock knob (Figure 6) to prevent movement during operation or adjustments.

Exposed surfaces, such as tables, rollers, cutterhead, etc., have been given a protective coating at the factory. This should be removed with a soft cloth moistened with a good commercial solvent. Do not use acetone, gasoline, lacquer thinner, or other solvents with a low flash point. Do not use an abrasive pad because it may scratch the polished cast iron surfaces.

Use care when cleaning around the cutterhead area – knives are extremely sharp!
