the following is a description of the main compo-
nents shipped with your machine. lay the compo-
nents out to inventory them.
note: If you can't find an item on this list, check
the mounting location on the machine or examine
the packaging materials carefully. Occasionally
we pre-install certain components for shipping
purposes.
using dull or damaged knives increases
the risk of kickback and poor quality cut-
ting results. only use sharp, undamaged
knives to prevent serious personal injury
and achieve high quality results.

planer knives are extremely sharp and can
quickly cause a serious injury to your hands
or fingers. always wear heavy leather gloves
when handling these knives to reduce the
risk of cutting injuries.
setting the height of the knives correctly is cru-
cial to the proper operation of your planer and
is very important in keeping the knives sharp. if
one knife protrudes higher than the others, it will
do the majority of the work, dull much faster, and
produce poor cutting results.
