Receiving your machine. 
Note.

 It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third party. Before you 

unpack your new machine, you will need to first inspect the packing, invoice and 
shipping documents supplied by the driver. 
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the packing or the machine. You need to 
do this prior to the driver leaving. All damage must be noted on the delivery 
documents and signed by you and the delivery driver. You must then contact the 
seller (Laguna Tools) within 24 hours. 
 

Introduction to planer/moulders. 

The planer/moulder is designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s 
manual in its entirety before assembly or use. 
The planer/moulder is generally defined as a machine that cuts planks of wood 
smooth and parallel and that can also produce mouldings. The machine achieves 
this by the plank being pushed by powered rollers along a flat table under a 
revolving cutter head. 
There are many types of cutter heads, but this machine uses a three-blade 
configuration. The parallel blade system gives a finish without lines, and this also 
allows the insertion of the moulding blades into the same cutter head. 
 

Additional Instructions for the use of planer/moulder. 

Like all machines, there is danger associated with the machine. Injury is frequently 
caused by lack of knowledge or familiarity. Use this machine with respect. If normal 
safety precautions are overlooked or ignored, serious personal injury may occur. 

1. Supporting the work. 

Only make cuts if the work piece is stable and never attempt to cut unstable planks 
or injury may occur. 

2.Cutting depth

Never exceed the maximum cutting depth as stated in the specification for your 
machine. It is far better to take several small cuts rather than large cuts. 

3. Direction of cut

Planing against the grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive chip 
out. Always plane with the grain. 

8.Guards. 

Guards are designed to reduce the risk of injury. 

Always use the guards

10. Stock.

 

Your safety will be greatly enhanced if you only use good lumber. Only work with 
lumber after you have inspected it completely. Staples, nails, loose knots and any 
other metal in the plank will damage your cutter head and could cause injury or fire. 
If you have any question about a piece of lumber, do not use it.
