Electrical Connections
Electrical connections must be made by a qualified electrician in compliance with all relevant codes. The machine must be properly grounded to help prevent electrical shock and possible fatal injury.
A power plug is not provided with the 208 planer. You may either connect one or
This machine must be grounded. Grounding provides a path of least resistance to help divert current away from the operator in case of electrical malfunction.
Make sure the voltage of your power supply matches the specifications on the motor plate of the machine.
Extension Cords
The use of an extension cord is not recommended for this machine, but if one is necessary make sure the cord rating is suitable for the amperage listed on the machine's motor plate. An undersize cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
The chart in Figure 7 shows the correct size cord to use based on cord length and motor plate amp rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number the heavier the cord.
Adjustments
Belt and Pulleys
1.Using a straight edge, align the motor pulley (A, Fig. 8 ) and cutterhead pulley (B, Fig. 8). The motor plate can be moved for alignment by loosening the set screws (C, Fig. 9) in the motor plate.
