OPERATIONS
General
The Model W1754 will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed incor-
rectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the under-
standing that the operator has the necessary knowledge
and skills to operate this machine.
If at any time you are
experiencing difficulties performing any operation, stop
using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly recom-
mend that you read books, trade articles, or seek training
from an experienced
planer
operator before performing
any unfamiliar operations.
Above all, your safety should
come first!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
The table moves approximately
1
/
16
" with one turn of the
handwheel.
The basic steps of operating the planer are as follows:
1.
Put on safety glasses, respirator, and hearing protec-
tion.
2.
Unless your workpiece is very flat, surface plane
one face of the workpiece on a jointer until it is
flat—having the face flat will ensure that it sits flat
on the planer table during operation.
3.
Adjust the table height slightly lower than your
workpiece to ensure the first cut is as light as pos-
sible (approximately
1
/
32
"–
1
/
16
"). This cut removes any
excessive high spots.
4.
Start the planer.
5.
Making sure not to stand directly in front or behind
the workpiece to avoid kickback injury, place the
flat side of the board down on the table, and feed
the workpiece through the planer.
— If the cut is too heavy and bogs down the planer,
turn the planer
OFF
immediately, allow it to come
to a complete stop, and remove the workpiece.
Lower the table, then repeat
Steps 2–5
.
Basic Operation
DO NOT investigate problems or adjust
the planer while it is running. Wait
until the machine is turned
OFF
and
all working parts have come to a
complete stop before proceeding!
Damage to your eyes, lungs, and ears
could result from using this machine
without proper protective gear. Always
wear safety glasses, a respirator, and
hearing protection when operating this
machine.
