Receiving
Carefully unpack the planer and any loose items from the wood crate and inspect for damage. Any damage should be reported immediately to your distributor and shipping agent. Before proceeding further, read your manual thoroughly to familiarize yourself with proper assembly, maintenance and safety procedures.
Remove the screws that hold the planer to the shipping skid. Remove the protective coating from the table, bed rolls, feed rolls, cutterhead and loose items packed with the machine, including lifting handles and motor pulley. This coating may be removed with a soft cloth moistened with Kerosene. Do not use acetone, gasoline or lacquer thinner for this purpose. Do not use solvents on plastic parts.
Use care when cleaning the cutterhead, the knives are very sharp.
