DIGITAL READOUT
The digital scale equipped with 20
” planer can
serve many applications, however for wood
planning we need only concern ourselves with
the ON/OFF, SET, and mm/in buttons.
When set properly the digital readout will display
the thickness of the finished product.
Calibration: In order to calibrate the unit first
run a board through the planer and measure the
finished thickness with a set of vernier calipers.
This is the number to be entered into the display
unit. At this point turn the unit on by pushing the
ON/OFF button. Now press the mm/in button to
set the unit to American standard or the metric
system.
1. Press and hold the SET button until the ‘+’
sign starts to flash and immediately release
A it.
2. Cycle the set button by pressing it until the
‘+’
sign remains on.
3. Press and hold the SET button until the
second zer
o to the right of the ‘+’ plus sign
starts to flash and immediately release it.
4. Cycle the SET button by pressing it until the
number reads the correct whole number taken
with the vernier calipers and immediately
release the button.
5. Press and hold the SET button until the zero
to the right of the decimal point starts to flash.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until the last digit in the
0.001 place is entered.
7. Press and hold the SET button until the SET
on the display
starts
to
flash and
immediately release it.
8. Press and release the SET button one final
time to complete the calibration.
Note: Do not turn the device off. If you do
you will have to re-calibrate the unit.
Battery: When the display begins to flash the
battery should be replaced. The battery is to be
replaced with a SR144 (or equivalent) and can
be found at most pharmacies or grocery stores.
When replacing the battery the positive side
of the button cell must face out.
