MOVING THE PLANER (Fig. 1)
The planer can be carried using the handles on either 
side of the frame. Make sure the table extensions are 
closed before moving the planer.
MOUNTING THE PLANER ONTO THE WOOD 
BASE (Fig. 2a&2b) 
When the planer is not mounted on a planer stand, 
it is suggested that it be mounted onto two pieces of 
timber. This will ensure maximum stability.
Choose two pieces of wood according to the sizes 
shown on the figure below . Mount the planer onto 
the wood surface.
Use four long, furnished screws to mount the planer 
base onto the wood (Fig. 2a)
STOCK ROLLERS (Fig. 3)
Two rollers are built on top of the planer, providing 
convenient handling of stock for consecutive cutting 
operations. Stock placed on the top of the machine 
can be easily pulled to the operator for planing.
ON / OFF SWITCH (Fig. 4)
Your Planer Thicknesser has a rocker style 
switch with a removable locking key to prevent 
unauthorised use. If you intend to be away from 
the machine for a long period of time and there 
is any chance of it’s use by others, especially 
children, remove the locking key with the switch in 
the OFF position. Store the locking key in a safe, 
inconspicuous place in your workshop. To turn 
the planer on, insert the locking key and turn the 
switch to the ON position. The planer will then be 
operable. To turn the planer off, turn the switch to 
the OFF position. (Fig. 4)
