Powermatic WP2412 Adjustments, Dust Collection, Controls, Starting procedure

2.Make sure the voltage of the power source corresponds to the voltage of the planer as recorded on the motor plate.

3.Open the electrical enclosure on the left side of the machine (Figure 3) by loosening the screws and sliding the panel upward.

4.Connect the three phases to the terminals marked L1, L2, L3 (Figure 4).

5.Connect the green neutral wire to terminal “N”.

6.Connect the machine to power (or install the fuses or reset the breakers at the power source).

7.Test the rotation of the cutterhead. Turn on the main power switch (see Figure 5) and then the main motor switch (Figure 5). The pulley on the main motor (on the side near the electrical enclosure) should rotate counterclockwise. If it rotates clockwise, stop the machine with the red stop button (Figure 5 ).

8.Disconnect machine from power source, and exchange leads L1 and L2.

9.Reconnect power, and close the electrical cover.

Dust Collection

It is strongly recommended this planer be connected to a dust extraction system, via the 6” (160mm) dust port at the rear of the planer. Your dust collector should have at least 1500 CFM capacity.

Starting procedure

NOTE: The planer will not start if the hood is raised, or if the brake release light is on (see below).

1.Turn Main Switch to position “I”. [NOTE: The main switch has a lock-out hole, through which a padlock or similar device can be inserted, when the switch is in “O” position]

2.Push the Main Motor Start button; the motor will start in Star-Delta. After a few seconds you will hear the motor switch over to full speed operation. NOTE: The inverters (see Figure 3) have been factory programmed and their settings should not be altered.
