DeWalt 18657 instruction manual Operation, Fastening Planer to Supporting Surface

FASTENING PLANER TO SUPPORTING SURFACE

During operation, if there is any tendency for the planer to tip over, slide or “walk” across the supporting surface, the planer must be secured to the supporting surface. Four holes (two of which are at (A) Fig. 9) are provided for this purpose.

Operate the planer on a flat, level surface.

If you attach the planer to one of the accessory stands (models 50-326 or 50-322), align the four holes in the base of the machine, two of which are shown at (A) Fig. 9, with the four holes in the top of the stand. Place the carriage head flange bolt through the holes in the planer and the stand. Thread the flange nut on the carriage head flange bolt. Tighten it securely.

OPERATIONAL CONTROLS AND ADJUSTMENTS

STARTING AND STOPPING THE PLANER

The on/off switch Fig. 10 is located on the front of the planer motor. To turn the machine “ON”, move the switch (A) up to the "ON" position. To turn the machine “OFF”, push down on the switch shield (B) Fig. 10.

LOCKING THE SWITCH IN THE “OFF” POSITION

IMPORTANT: When the machine is not in use, the switch should be locked in the “OFF” position to prevent unauthorized use. Raise the infeed table to the upright position. Place a padlock with a 3/16" (4.7 mm) diameter shackle through the hole in the left side of the planer and through the infeed table (Fig. 11). Lock the padlock.
