ELECTRICAL
CONNECTIONS
WARNING:
Make sure unit is turned off and discon-
nected from power source before inspecting any wiring.
The motor is assembled with an approved three con-
ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The
power supply to the motor is controlled by a double
pole locking switch.
The power lines are connected directly to the switch.
The green ground line must remain securely fastened
to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.
A manual reset overload protector is installed in line
with the power supply to the motor. If the planer is over-
loaded, the protector will break the circuit.
DESCRIPTION
Craftsman 13" planer finishes rough-cut lumber to size
and planes soft and hardwoods up to 6" thick and 13"
wide. Wood feeds into three-blade cutterhead by rubber
infeed/outfeed rollers. Sturdy base construction, granite
table and four-post design permits smooth feeding and
virtually snipeless planing. Planer comes with enclosed,
universal ball bearing, 15 Amp motor with overload pro-
tection. Motor has ON/OFF switch with removable key to
prevent accidental start-up. Unit features depth-of-cut
gauge for convenient set-up, workpiece thickness
pre-set gauge with 8 settings for consistent set-up, easy
hands-free replacement of blades for safety and mini-
mized downtime, top mounted rollers for workpiece
return and built-in carrying handles for portability. Planer
takes cuts up to 3/j, per pass at 26 feet per minute. Inch
height scale has graduations in 1/16" i ncrements, and
metric height scale has graduations in lmm increments.

OPERATION
SAFETY
RULES
WARNING:
For your own safety, read all of the
instructions and precautions before operating tool.
WARNING:
Operation of any power tool can result in
foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result
in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles
complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on
package) before commencing power tool operation.
CAUTION:
Always observe the following safety pre-
cautions:
•
Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-
cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).
•
Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer,
turn switch OFF and remove plug from power source.
•
Make sure all guards are properly attached and
securely fastened.
•
Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
•
Always wear eye protection or face shield.
•
Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached
to cutterhead.
•
Do not plug in planer unless switch is in off position.
After turning switch on, allow planer to come to full
speed before operating.
•
Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
•
Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat
motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.
•
Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood.
•
Do not plane material shorter than 15", narrower
than 8/4"_ wider than 13" or thinner than 1/2".
•
Never make planing cut deeper than %_".
•
For workpieces longer than 24"_ use material
support stands. See Recommended
Accessories,
page 13.
•
Do not back the work toward the infeed side.
•
Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-
one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.
Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.
•
Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever
planer is not in use.
•
Replace knives as they become damaged or dull.
•
Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance
instructions (see pages 8 -9).
