Planer knives are dangerously sharp! Use extreme caution when working near cutting surfaces. Failure to exercise care while working near knives could result in severe injury.

Location of Controls

Take the time to familiarize yourself with the controls of your new planer. They will be frequently mentioned throughout the instructions in this manual, and the better you know your machine, the better you can make it perform. Figure 8 points out the key controls and their locations.

As with all precision machinery, adjustments to the planer require very close tolerances. The adjustments described in this section will be factory set. However, during the life of the machine it will necessary to make these adjustments yourself. Many of these adjustments require the use of an indicating tool such as a dial indicator or a Rotacator® to achieve accurate results.
