Note: If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer/moulder, turn the planer/moulder OFF immediately, allow it to come to a com- plete stop, remove the workpiece, and repeat Steps 3–5.

6.Measure your workpiece thickness and adjust the headstock height as necessary to take a lighter or heavier pass, depending on your needs.

Operation Tips

Inspect lumber for defects, warping, cup-

ping, twisting, and for foreign objects (nails,

staples, imbedded gravel, etc,). If you have

any question about the quality of your lum-

ber, do not use it. Remember, wood stacked

on a concrete floor can have small pieces of

stone or concrete pressed into the surface.

• Use the full width of the planer/moulder.

Alternate between the left, the right, and the

middle when feeding lumber into the planer/

moulder. Your cutters will remain sharp much

longer.

Scrape all glue off joined boards before plan-

ing.

Plane ONLY natural wood fiber. DO NOT

Avoid planing wood with a high water con- tent. Wood with more than 20% moisture content or wood exposed to excessive mois- ture (such as rain or snow), will plane poorly and cause excessive wear to the cutters and motor. Excess moisture can also hasten rust and corrosion of the planer/moulder and/or individual components.

Feed Speed

The infeed and outfeed rollers power the stock through the planer/moulder while keeping boards flat and providing a consistent rate of movement.

The power feed features 22 FPM and 11 FPM feed rates. The speed should be changed ONLY when the machine is running.

Figure 11 illustrates the three different positions of the feed control knob. Turning the knob clock- wise sets the feed speed to 22 FPM (used for rough planing). Turning the knob counterclock- wise sets the feed speed to 11 FPM (used for finishing and moulding). Turning the knob to the center position places the gearbox in neutral.

plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other

synthetic products.

Plane wood with the grain. Never feed

end-cut or end-grained lumber into your

planer/moulder.

Do not use boards with loose or large knots,

splits, crossgrain or other obvious blemishes

or defects. They can damage the machine

Keep your work area clear.

When making multiple passes on long stock,

use the stock return rollers on the top of the

machine to move the material back to the

infeed side of the machine.
