WORKBENCH

 

 

 

When mounting the planer to a mounting board, the board

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

should be of sufficient size to avoid tipping while planer is

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in use. Any good grade plywood or chipboard with a 3/4 in.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

minimum thickness is recommended.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n Mark holes on surface where planer is to be mounted

pattern.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n Drill four holes through the mounting surface.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

n Place planer on mounting surface, aligning holes in the planer base with holes drilled in the mounting surface.

n Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with

lock washers and hex nuts (not included).

 

NOTE: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install

 

the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the

 

mounting surface. If lag bolts are used, make sure they

holes in planer base, the material being mounted to, and

 

the lock washers and hex nuts.

 

Supporting surface where planer is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no move- ment during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or support surface before beginning plan- ing operation.

INSTALLING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT HANDLE

See Figure 5.

n Locate the hex key, depth adjustment handle, and hex

head screw among the loose parts.

 

nPlace the depth adjustment handle onto the depth gauge shaft.

nInsert the screw through the hole in the handle and into the threaded opening in the shaft.

nUsing the hex key, rotate the screw clockwise to tighten handle securely.
