MOUNTING the PLANER to workbench If your planer is to be used in a permanent location, it is recommended you secure it to a workbench or other stable surface. When mounting the planer to a workbench, holes should be drilled through the supporting surface of the workbench. Mark holes on workbench where planer is to be mounted using holes in planer base as a template for hole pattern. Drill four holes through workbench. Place planer on workbench aligning holes in the planer base with holes drilled in the workbench. Insert four bolts (not included) and tighten securely with lock washers and hex nuts (not included). Note: All bolts should be inserted from the top. Install the lock washers and hex nuts from the underside of the workbench. Supporting surface where planer is mounted should be examined carefully after mounting to insure that no movement during use can result. If any tipping or walking is noted, secure workbench or support surface before beginning planing operation. 11
