INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
1. There are four lifting handles (Fig. 3) on the machine.
Pull the handles out for use, push in when not in use.
2. If a sling or forklift is used to lift the machine, be sure to lift
by the handles only. See Fig. 3. Make sure machine is kept
in level position while lifting.
3. For best planing performance, locate planer on a solid, level
foundation and anchor to the floor with good quality lag
screws. Do not tighten screws completely yet.
4. With machine in position, test table surface lengthwise and
crosswise with machinist's level. Place metal shims under
low corners.
5. Check that all four corners are supported, then tighten lag
screws.
6. Re-test level of table surface in both directions and adjust
if necessary.

Handwheel
1. Remove the nut and washer from the gearbox shaft, and
place the handwheel onto the shaft (Fig. 5), making sure
it is oriented so the handwheel slips over the key.
2. Place flat washer and hex nut on shaft and tighten with
wrench.
3. Mount the handle in the threaded hole in the handwheel,
and tighten with a wrench placed over the flat on the handle.
Extension Tables
1. Mount a cast iron table to the edge of the main table with
three M8 x 25 hex cap screws (Figure 6). Do not fully
tighten yet.
2. The extension table must be leveled with the main table.
Lifting
Place a straight edge (such as a jointed board) across both
hangle
tables.
3. Insert three socket set screws with a hex wrench, and
screw them in or out as needed until tables are level.
4. Securely tighten the hex cap screws.
5. Mount the second extension table to the opposite side of
the planer table, using the same procedure.
