EXTENSION CORDS
Use proper extension cords. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition and is a 3-wire
extension cord which has a 3-prong grounding type plug and matching receptacle which will accept the machine’s
plug. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current of the machine. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. Fig. D, shows the
correct gauge to use depending on the cord length. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge
number, the heavier the cord.

UNPACKING AND CLEANING
Carefully unpack the machine and all loose items from the shipping container. Peel protective film from the table surface.
Figures E and F illustrate the planer and all loose items supplied with your machine. Refer to the section of this manual
entitled “REPLACING KNIVES” to remove the cutterhead guard. Remove the rust-preventative oil from unpainted
surfaces using a soft cloth moistened with mineral spirits, paint thinner or denatured alcohol.
Do not use highly volatile solvents such as gasoline, naphtha, acetone or lacquer thinner for cleaning your
machine.
After cleaning, cover the unpainted surfaces with a good quality household floor paste wax.
Take care when you clean the cutterhead. The knives in the cutterhead are very sharp. After
cleaning the cutterhead, replace the cutterhead guard.
