that all of the items are accounted for, before discarding any packing material. Place parts on a protected surface
for easy identification and assembly.
2. Report any shipping damage to your local distributor.
3. Clean all rust protected surfaces with ordinary house hold type grease or spot remover. Do not use; gasoline, paint
thinner, mineral spirits, etc. These may damage painted surfaces.
4. Apply a coat of paste wax to the table to prevent rust. Wipe all parts thoroughly with a clean dry cloth. Be careful
when reaching inside of the planer as the knives are sharp and may cause injury if touched.

properly.

FIG. 1
MOVING & INSTALLING THE PLANER
When moving the planer/jointer,
DO NOT carry it with the infeed and outfeed rollers.
Use a forklift, or pallet jack under the machine to lift
and move the planer, or with straps or battens placed
under the planer bed. FIG. 1, A.
1. Position the machine on a solid, level foundation
that is located in an area that ample space in front and
in back of the planer/jointer for the moving of lumber
to be milled. Align the machine so that during use, any
kickback will not face aisles, doorways, or other work
areas that bystanders may be in. Do not locate or use
the machine in damp or wet conditions.
2. The machine is firmly bolted to a pallet with 4 bolts
and nuts. Once the planer/jointer is in the area where it
will reside, unbolt it from the pallet. The bolts are located
through the two openings at the bottom ends.
3. Carefully move the machine off the pallet by pushing
the lower body/frame of the machine. Do not push or lift
the planer/jointer by the extension table, upper lid area,
or by the jointer infeed & outfeed tables as this may
damage the machine.
4. Once in place in your shop, secure the machine to
the floor with lag screws (not supplied). Use the same
four holes that secured the planer/ jointer to the pallet for
transport. FIG. 2.
