ASSEMBLY

                 THE MACHINE MUST NOT BE PLUGGED IN AND THE POWER SWITCH 

            MUST BE IN THE 'OFF' POSITION UNTIL ASSEMBLY IS COMPLETE.

                                To install the legs, the machine must 

be placed onto its side to gain access to the underside 

to secure the nuts and washers. The machine is heavy. 

Additional help, or a suitable lifting device or support, will 

be required for lifting the machine onto the stand once the 

legs are installed.

NOTE:

 When assembling this Planer/Jointer, DO NOT fully 

tighten the nuts and bolts until the assembly is complete.

1.  Before laying the machine down on its side, lay down 

some soft padding to protect the machine parts.

NOTE:

 The waste packaging may be utilized to sup

port the 

machine, preventing damage. Th

is is especially needed if 

the machine is laid on the side which has a plastic cover or 

the On/Off switch.
2.  Gently lay the machine onto it's side. Ensuring that the 

weight of the machine is distributed equally across the 

main frame.
3.  Fasten the four Legs to the main frame of the machine, 

using the Bolts, Washers and Nuts provided. FIG. 2, 3.
4.  Once the four legs have been secured to the main 

frame, it may not be possible to fully tighten the lower bolts 

until the machine is in the upright position.
5.  With assistance, or with a suitable lifting device, return 

the machine to an upright position. All four legs should be 

stable, secure and on a level footing before final tighten-

ing the bolts. If machine does not sit on the legs properly, 

loosen all of the leg bolts and allow the machine’s weight 

to settle onto the legs evenly. Then fully tighten the bolts to 

secure the legs in position. FIG. 4.
