W1747 20" Planer
SET UP
Figure 3. Example of planer being lifted
using forklift.
MAKE your shop “child safe." Ensure
that your workplace is inaccessible to
youngsters by closing and locking all
entrances when you are away. NEVER
allow untrained visitors in your shop
when assembling, adjusting or operat-
ing equipment.
The cabinet stand on the Model W1747 is equipped with
lifting bars (see Page 5) to lift and place the planer.
When lifting the planer with a forklift, we recommend
placing shop rags or cardboard between the forks and
cabinet base so you do not scratch the paint.
Figure 3 shows an example of a typical planer with lifting
bars being lifted correctly with a forklift.
• Floor Load: This machine distributes a heavy load in
a small footprint. Some floors may require additional
bracing to support both machine and operator.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be processed
through the machine, and space for auxiliary stands,
work tables or other machinery when establishing a
location for your planer.
• Lighting: Lighting should be bright enough to
eliminate shadow and prevent eye strain.
