Installation

Tools required for installation

wrench set (provided) level

forklift or crane with straps

1.Remove the crate from around the planer and any fasteners securing the planer to the skid.

2.Remove the side covers and place the lifting hooks into the slots (Figure 1). Place straps under them and lift the machine off the skid. The planer should be located on a sturdy floor, preferably concrete, in a dry area with sufficient lighting. Leave enough space around the machine for loading and offloading stock and routine maintenance work.

3.When the planer is situated, use the leveling screws (Figure 2) to level the machine.

4.Exposed metal areas of the planer have been factory coated with a protectant. This should be removed with a soft cloth and kerosene. Do not use an abrasive pad. Do not let solvent contact the plastic parts of the machine, as it may damage them.

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.

The planer may be fitted with a 230 volt plug, or may be “hard-wired” directly to your electrical panel. If hard-wired to a panel, make sure a disconnect is available for the operator.

IMPORTANT: The 230 volt model of the WP2412 planer is wired for 230 volt only; it is not convertible to 460 volt.

1.Make sure the machine’s plug is disconnected from the power source. If it is hard-wired, make sure the fuses have been removed or the breakers have been tripped in the circuit to which the saw will be connected. Place a warning placard on the fuse holder or circuit breaker to prevent it being turned on while the machine is being wired. Always follow proper Lock Out/Tag Out procedures when performing any wiring on this machine.
