Switch Lock; Circuit Breaker; Raising And Lowering Rollercase; Depth-Of-Cut Gauge / Workpiece Thickness Gauge - Craftsman 351.217130 Operator's Manual

SWITCH LOCK
Refer to Figure 11.
The planer can be locked from unauthorized use by
locking the switch. To lock the switch:
• Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect plan-
er from power source.
• Pull the key (A) out. The switch can not De turned
ON with the key (A) removed.
NOTE: Should the key (A) be removed from the switch
at the ON position+the switch can be turned OFF but
cannot be turned ON.

• To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until
it snaps.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Refer to Figure 11.
The planer is equipped with a motor protection device-
circuit breaker. The breaker will automatically shut the
planer off when excessive current is consumed.
If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer "off" and reset
the circuit by pressing the button (B).
CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer "off" prior to
resetting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-
up of the planer.
RAISING AND LOWERING ROLLERCASE
Refer to Figure 12.
The rollercase (A) contains the motor, cutterhead and
chip deflector. The depth-of-cut is controlled by raising
or lowering the roltercase. Rotate handle with knob (B)
to raise or lower rellercase.
NOTE: One complete rotation of handle will raise or
lower rollercase by approximately '/,_"
A rotational direction label with depth indicator is pro-
vided on either sides of the planer top.
The English/Metric scale (C) with pointer allows easy
adjustment of roller case height.

DEPTH-OF-CUT GAUGE
Refer to Figure 12.
A spring loaded depth-of-cut gauge (D) is attached on
to front of rellercase. The pointer on depth-of-cut gauge
accurately displays the rollercase height set-up when
workpiece is positioned below the gauge. Cranking the
handle moves the rollercase down and the pointer
shows increased depth-of-cut up to W'
Recommended Maximum Depth-Of.Cut:
Hard/Softwood upto 6" wide: ................. 3/32,,
Hard/Softwood 6-1 3" wide: ..................... ,/,,,,
CAUTION:
A _/_" depth-of -cut on hard, softwood
6-13" wide can be made. However, continuous opera-
tion at this set-up can cause premature motor failure.
WORKPIECE THICKNESS GAUGE
Refer to Figure 13.
A five position workpiece thickness gauge (A) is mount-
ed on rollercase. This gauge allows to preset the
desired finished workpiece thickness that the planer will
produce. Five setting are provided: %', 1/2",1" and 11/,"
