To install the dust hood, do these steps:
1. Put on gloves and adjust the gap between the edge
of the chip deflector and knife edge to 1/4".
2. Attach the dust hood to the planer with six M6-1 x
12 flange bolts as shown in Figure 8.
3. Attach the dust hood to the dust collector.
Note: To maximize work results and minimize clog-
ging, chipout, etc., use a dust collector with a mini-
mum of 600 CFM at the planer dust port.
To install the caster and foot pedal, do these steps:
1. Remove the pin and hex bolt that are already mount-
ed in the foot pedal bracket.
2. Align the caster with the mounting holes in the foot
pedal bracket.
3. Insert the hex bolt removed in Step 1 into the hole
in the back side of the caster assembly, thread the
washer and locknut onto the bolt, and tighten the
bolt just enough for it to be snug without hampering
the pivot action of the caster.
During the next step, you MUST connect your
planer to a dust collection system. Accumulated
wood chips could cause a malfunction, resulting in
personal injury or damage to the planer.
