EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time you experience difficulties performing the intended operation, stop using the machine! Contact our Technical Support at (570) 546-9663.

Additional Safety for Planers

⚠WARNING

Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause eye injuries or blindness. Workpieces or knives thrown by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.

KICKBACK. Know how to reduce risk of kickback and kickback-related injuries. "Kickback" occurs during operation when the workpiece is ejected back through infeed side of machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine setup/maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck by workpiece, resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises, death); (2) operator's hands are pulled into blade from outfeed side, resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.

AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS. Never remove guards/covers or reach inside planer during operation or while connected to power. You could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust removal is necessary, turn planer OFF, allow cutterhead to stop, disconnect power before clearing.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or damaged knives/inserts increase the risk of kickback.

INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose knots, or foreign material. Workpieces with minor warping should be jointed first or planed with the cupped side facing the table.

BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of planer during entire operation to avoid getting hit if kickback occurs.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across grain is hard on planer and may cause kickback. Plane in same direction or at a slight angle with wood grain.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials that can break up inside the planer and be ejected towards the operator.

LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly around inside the planer at a high rate of speed during operation. To avoid injury from flying material, DO NOT look inside planer during operation.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of kickback hazards or damage to the machine, do not exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum board length and thickness found in the Data Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.

INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed roller is designed to pull material into the spinning cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the risk of kickback, never start planer with workpiece touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed before feeding, and do not change feed speed during cutting operation.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of kickback, always make sure workpiece can move completely across table without rocking or tipping. Use auxiliary support stands for long stock.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improperly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts are secure and properly adjusted before operation.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Availability

Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the requirements for this machine, a new circuit must be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, installation work and electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or qualified service personnel in accordance with all applicable codes and standards.

!WARNING Electrocution, fire, shock, or equipment damage may occur if machine is not properly grounded and connected to power supply.

Full-Load Current Rating

The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws at 100% of the rated output power. On machines with multiple motors, this is the amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all motors and electrical devices that might operate at one time during normal operations.

• Full-Load Current Rating ........ 12 Amps The full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—especially if connected to an undersized circuit. To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the specified circuit requirements.

Circuit Requirements for 240V

This machine is prewired to operate on a power supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets the following requirements:

• Nominal Voltage ........ 208V, 220V, 230V, 240V
• Cycle ........ 60 Hz
• Phase ........ 1-Phase
• Power Supply Circuit ........ 20 Amps
• Plug/Receptacle ........ NEMA 6-20
• Cord ........ "S"-Type, 3-Wire, 14 AWG, 300 VAC

A power supply circuit includes all electrical equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to safely handle the full-load current drawn from the machine for an extended period of time. (If this machine is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

!CAUTION For your own safety and protection of property, consult an electrician if you are unsure about wiring practices or electrical codes in your area.

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will be connected to a shared circuit where multiple machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

Grounding Instructions

This machine MUST be grounded. In the event of certain malfunctions or breakdowns, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance for electric current.

The power cord and plug specified under "Circuit Requirements for 220V" on the previous page has an equipment-grounding wire and a grounding prong. The plug must only be inserted into a matching receptacle (outlet) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances (see figure below).

Figure 4. Typical 6-20 plug and receptacle.

⚠WARNING

Serious injury could occur if you connect machine to power before completing setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.

⚠CAUTION

No adapter should be used with plug. If plug does not fit available receptacle, or if machine must be reconnected for use on a different type of circuit, reconnection must be performed by an electrician or qualified service personnel, and it must comply with all local codes and ordinances.

⚠WARNING

Serious injury could occur if you connect machine to power before completing setup process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.

Extension Cords

We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following size requirements:

• Minimum Gauge Size ........ 12 AWG
• Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ........ 50 ft.
