ness planer in. The power cord must
remain unplugged whenever you are
adjusting or aligning the thickness
planer.

Elevate the motor enough to give a proper
view of the table body and clearance of
the knives.
WARNING: Knives are
extremely sharp and could seri-
ously injure your hands or arms.

sion. Tighten the locking nuts.
