Choose two pieces of wood according to the sizes shown on the figure below . Mount the planer onto the wood surface.
Use four long, furnished screws to mount the planer base onto the wood (Fig. 2a)

ON / OFF SWITCH (Fig. 4)
Your Planer Thicknesser has a rocker style switch with a removable locking key to prevent unauthorised use. If you intend to be away from the machine for a long period of time and there is any chance of it’s use by others, especially children, remove the locking key with the switch in the OFF position. Store the locking key in a safe, inconspicuous place in your workshop. To turn the planer on, insert the locking key and turn the switch to the ON position. The planer will then be operable. To turn the planer off, turn the switch to the OFF position. (Fig. 4)
WARNING:
Always be sure the switch is in the off position before connecting the planer to the power source.
CIRCUIT OVERLOAD SWITCH
The machine is provided with an overload switch for overload protection. If an overload occurs, the switch will pop out. If this happens, wait several minutes and press the switch to reset the machine. (Fig. 4)
