Other Legsets or Work Benches
Place the planer in the desired location on
either a workbench or other recom-
mended leg set. The base of the planer
has eight mounting holes. Four smaller
holes for “drywall” screws are labeled B.
Four larger holes for bolts are labeled A
(see illustration). Place a bolt through the
larger holes. Attach a washer and nut and
securely tighten.

wood, use 4, 1/4" bolt holes
or the 4 dry-
wall screw holes. The mounting board can
then be clamped down to prevent it from
tipping.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of injury from unexpected planer movement:
a. Unplug electric cord.
b. To reduce the risk of back injury, hold the tool close to your body when
lifting. Bend your knees so you can lift with your legs, not your back. Lift
by using the hand-hold areas at each side of the bottom of the base or by
the carrying handles.
c. Place the planer so other people cannot stand behind it. Thrown debris
could injure people in its path.
d. Place the planer on a firm, level surface where there is plenty of room for
handling and properly supporting the workpiece.
e. Bolt or clamp the planer to its support.
