OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MAGNUM INDUSTRIAL 20" HEAVY-DUTY PLANER
MI-31550 / MI-31552 / MI-31553
BASIC PRINCIPLES OF PLANING
This planer is designed to remove material from the top face of a board in order to bring the board (or a series of boards)
down to a specific desired shape or profile and thickness. To obtain uniform results across the length of a board, the stock
being planed must have one face that has already been machined perfectly flat (usually on a jointer) and the stock should
be fed with this flat face against the table.
SELECTING BOARDS
This planer is intended for use with solid woods or MDF only, and should not be used to plane or mould any other materials.
The workpiece should always be fed through the machine in the general direction of the grain in the wood. Before being fed
through the planer all lumber should be inspected for debris and foreign objects such as staples or nails.
Foreign objects embedded in your workpiece can be ejected from the machine at high speed, causing serious injury or
damaging cutter knives. Remove all foreign objects from the wood before planing it. Select lumber carefully and avoid
workpieces with loose or protruding knots. Also avoid workpieces that are twisted, severely deformed or warped.
Planing warped, twisted, damaged or fragile stock increases the risk of jamming or damaging the machine or cutters, as
well as increasing the risk of injury to the operator or bystanders from kickback. Kickback occurs when the workpiece is
forcefully or violently ejected from the machine.
WARNING!
Respect the rated capacity of this machine. Ignoring these ratings and feeding non-compatible
stock into this planer can lead to serious injury to the user and/or bystanders and cause damage
to the workpiece and/or the machine. See Figure 12.
