Switch

Circuit

Figure 4 - Wiring Schematic

• Removing the rocker switchwill lock the unit and

prevent unauthorized use.

A manual reset overload protector is installed in line

with the power supplyto the motor. If the planer/molder

is the protector will break the circuit.

If thebreakeris tripped, turn the planer/molder "off" and

reset the circuitby pressing the button.

Refer to Figures 5- 16.

DESCRIPTION

Sears 12½" planer/molder finishes rough-cutlumberto

size and planes soft and hardwoods up to 5" thick and

121/="wide. Produces decorative designs includingfur-

niture moldings, baseboards, casings, picture frames,

tongue and groove, glue joints, rabettingand much

more. Wood feeds into three-blade cutterhead by

adjustable rubberrin-feed/out-feed rollers.Large 12½" x

19" cast irontable has precisionground steel columns

for smooth feeding of the workpiece and reducingvibra-

tion. Motor has overload protectionand is enclosed in

the base of the machine, away from wood chips and

dust. The gearbox offers two speeds; 26 ft/min, for fast

planing, and 13 f!Jminfor smooth finish molding. The

tool comes with anti-kickback mechanism for added

safety, and built-incarrying handles.

OPERATION RULES

WARNING: Operatioonofany powertool can result in

foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles

complying United States ANSi Z87.1 (shown on

package) commencing power tool operation.

CAUTION: Always observe the following safety pre-

cautions:

• Knowgeneral powertool safety.Make sure all pre-

cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3 and 5).

• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on

planer/molder,tuurnswitch off and remove plug from

power

• Makesureall guards are properlyattached and

securely fastened.

• Make sure all movingpartsare free from interference.

• Always wear eye protectionor face shield.

• MakesureImlves are aligned and propedy attached

• Do not plug in planer/molder unless switch is in"off"

position.After turningswitchon, allow planer/molder

to come to full speed before operating.

• Do not attempt to performan abnormal or little used

operationwithouttstudyand the use of adequate jigs,

fixtures and the like.

• Keep hands clear of all movingparts.

• Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling willoverheat

motor.Allow automaticfeed to function properly.

• Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are

smoother good qualitywood.

• Do not plane material shorterthan 14½", narrower

than 3A",wider than 12Y="or thinner than ½".

• Never make planing cut deeper than _,_".

• Maintain the proper relationshipsof infeed and out-

feed table surfaces and cutterhead knife path.

• Do not back the work toward the infeed table.

• Take precautions against kickback.DO not permit

anyone to stand or cross in line of cuttarhead's rota-

tion. or throwndebris will travel in this

direction.

• Turn switchoff and disconnectpower whenever plan-

er/molder is not in use.

• Replace or sharpen knivesas they become dam-

aged or dull.

• Keep planer/moldermaintained. Followmaintenance

instructions(seeepage 12).

DEPTH OF CUT

• Thickness planing refersto the sizing Oflumber to a

desired thicknessswhile creating a level surface par-

allel to the opposite side of the board.

• Quality of thicknessplaning dependson the opere-

tor'sjudgement about the depth of cut. Depth of cut

depends on the width,hardness, dampness, grain

direction grain structureof the wood.

• Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in onepassis _" forplaning operations.For opti-

mum planing performance,the depth of cut should

be less than _,4,-.

• Board should be planed with shallowcuts untilthe

work has a level side. Once level surlace has been

created, the lumber and create parallel sides.

Plane alternate sides untilthe desired thickness is

obtained.

• When half of total depth of cut is taken from each

side, the board willhave a uniformmoisturecontent

and additional drying will not cause it to warp.

• Depthof cut shouldbeshallowerwhen work is wider.

• When planing hardwood, take lightct_tsor plane the

wood in thin widths.

• Make test cut when working with a new type of

board or different kind of operation.

• Check accuracy of test cut prior to workingon fin-

ished
