The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish.
For rough cutting, you can increase the depth of cut. To achieve a good finish
you will need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
CAUTION: Moving the machine too quickly may cause a poor quality of cut
and can damage the blades or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may
burn or mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the
depth of the cut.
Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and
the cut dimensions.
CAUTION: Always use two hands to hold the planer.
CAUTION: Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the bench.
CHAMFERING (Fig.7)
To make a chamfered cut, first
align the “V” groove in the front
shoe (10) of one of the three
planer with the corner edge of the
workpiece.
Choose the “V” groove that is best
suited for the required chamfer
depth.
Run the planer along the corner edge.
CHIP EXTRACTION (Fig.8)
If desired, attach the dust bag by
simply sliding the dust bag nozzle
onto the dust extraction port .
For efficient operation, empty the
dust bag when it is no more than
half full. This allows better airflow
through the bag.
Alternatively, the dust-extraction
adaptor (5) can be fitted to the
dust extraction port to connect a
suitable vacuum cleaner.
NOTE. Shavings may jam in the dust extraction port (5) when cutting damp
wood. Never stick your finger into the dust extraction port (5). Clean out the
shavings with a stick, but only when the cutter has stopped running and the
tool has been unplugged from the power point.
