Test Run

Loose hair and cloth- ing could get caught in machinery and cause serious person- al injury. Keep loose clothing rolled up and long hair tied up and away from machinery.

To perform a test run:

1.Read the entire instruction manual, and make sure oil is in the gearbox.

2.Make sure all tools and foreign objects have been removed from the machine.

3.Put on safety glasses, and secure loose clothes or long hair.

4.Connect the planer to the power source.

5.Press the green button to turn the machine ON. The planer should run smoothly with little or no vibration.

—If you suspect any problems, immediately stop the planer by pushing the red OFF button. Troubleshoot and fix any problems before starting the planer again.

—If you need any help with your planer call our Tech Support at (570) 546-9663.

Tighten V-Belts

The final step in the set up process must be done after approximately 16 hours of operation. During this first 16 hours, the V-belts will stretch and seat into the pulley grooves. After this time, the V-belts must be retensioned or belt failure will occur quickly. Refer to Page 22 when you are ready to perform this important adjustment.

Note: Pulleys and belts run very hot. This is a normal condition. Allow them to cool before mak- ing adjustments. A collection of black belt dust at the bottom of the belt housing is a normal during the life of the machine.
