KNOW YOUR PLANER
NOTE: Before attempting to use your planer, familiarize yourself with all of the
operating features and safety requirements.

60-Hz AC ONLY power supply (normal household current). DO NOT operate on direct
current (DC). The large voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat.

check the power supply. This planer has a 10-ft., 2-wire power cord (no adapter needed).
