risk of slippage and/or injury.
9. Make certain the area around the machine is well lighted.
10. Utilize guards and other safety features whenever possible. Keep all guards and safety features in good working order.

Before unpacking the machine, check it carefully for signs
of shipping damage. If damage is suspected, contact your
dealer immediately.
3.1
Unpacking the Machine
Carefully uncrate the machine. Again, inspect the unit for
signs of shipping damage. If damage is found, contact
your dealer immediately. For protection against shifting,
the double side jointing planer was bolted to the shipping
pallet in four places (see Figure 1). emove these bolts
before lifting the planer off the pallet.
The machine may be lifted from the pallet by forklift or

3.2
Machine reparation and Setup
Situate the double side jointing planer on a smooth, level
surface. Install the leveling feet in the four corners of the
machine, as shown in Figure 4. Use a level to ensure that
the planers bed is level from front to back and left to right.
Note: Even if your shop floor is level, installation
of the leveling feet will improve stability and
reduce vibration.
A protective anti-rust agent was applied to the
non-painted cast iron and steel components of this double
side jointing planer. This should be removed with a soft
cloth and kerosene. Do not use paint thinner. Do not
allow the kerosene to come into contact with electrical
cords or connections.

two 6” dust collection ports, one for each cutterhead. Make
certain to secure all dust hoses to the dust ports with hose
clamps or similar devices.

bottom cutterhead. This chute is located at the lower
right side of the machine, as shown in Figure 5. The
operator may find it helpful to open the side door when
making this connection.
