Assembly

Most of the JWP-16OS Planer has been assembled at the factory. However some parts must be assembled after delivery.

Use care when cleaning the cutterhead; the knives are very sharp.

Stand Assembly

Refer to Figure 1.

1.Cast Foot Assembly – Using parts from the cast foot assembly hardware bag, mount casting (2) to leg (1) by inserting two socket head flat screws (3) through the casting (2) and leg (1). Place a flat washer (4) and hex nut (5) on the screw and tighten.

Repeat for remaining three legs.

2.Stand Top (front) – The front and rear top stands (braces) are identical except for the JET logo on the front piece.

Mount one end of the stand top (6) to a leg

(1) and fasten using two each carriage bolts (7), flat washers (8) and hex nuts (9).

Note: Do not over tighten at this time. This will be the final step in the assembly.

3.Fasten a second leg to the other end of the stand top, repeating the step above.

4.Take one long stand brace (10) and with (4 ea) bolts, washers, and hex nuts fasten to the legs of the assembly just completed in the steps 2 and 3. Fasten to the mounting holes in the middle of each leg.

5.Set this assembly aside for now.

6.Stand Top (rear) – Repeat steps 2–4 using parts still remaining.

7.Take the left stand top (11)

Note: The right stand top (13) has a cutout and will be used later.

Secure it to left side of the left legs (top mounting holes) of the front and rear assemblies previously constructed (the JET logo is the front) using 4 ea carriage bolts, flat washers and nuts.

8.Take one short stand brace (12) and secure to the left legs of the front and rear assembly with (4 ea) carriage bolts, washers and nuts.

9.Take the right stand top (13) – this piece has the cutout – and secure it to the front and rear legs (top mounting holes) on the right

side of the assembly using 4 ea carriage bolts, washers and nuts.

10.Secure the remaining short stand brace (14) to the front and rear legs (middle mounting holes) on the right side of the stand with (4 ea) carriage bolts, washers and nuts.

11.Make sure that the stand is symmetrical and level. Adjust if necessary and securely tighten all bolts.

12.Before mounting the planer on the stand, locate the stand on a solid, level foundation to ensure best planing performance and anchor to the floor with good quality lag screws.

Planer Unit Placement

There are four lifting handles (Fig. 2) on the machine. The handles can be pulled out (A, Fig. 2) for use when the planer is to be lifted and moved and slides into the body casting (B, Fig. 2) when not needed.

If a sling or forklift is used to lift the machine, be sure to lift by the handles only. Make sure machine is kept in level position while lifting.

Set the machine on the stand that was assembled in the previous section, then secure the base to the stand using parts provided in the base to stand hardware bag, consisting of 4 ea M8 x 30 hex cap screws, 4 ea M8 hex nuts, and 8 ea M8 flat washers.
