Use and Care Manual

BLADE ALIGNMENT

To ensure an even cut, the blade must be adjusted so that it aligns with the

outside edge of the front and rear shoes. This alignment can be achieved as

follows:

1. Place a straight edge or a piece of wood along the outside surface of the

front and rear shoes. Slide the planer blade to just contact the straight edge

or wood.

2. Make sure the blade sits correctly in the holder groove of the cutter drum.

3. You may then tighten the clamping screws securing the blade and use your planer.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUTTING

CAUTION - Always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and unplugged from the power supply before

making adjustments or installing or removing blades. Wait until the blades come to a complete stop before

adjusting the depth of the cut.

1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.

2. Rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise for a deeper cut or coun-

ter-clockwise for a shallower cut.

The minimum cutting increment is 1/128” (0.2 mm).

Note: If it is necessary to accurately determine the depth of cut, plane a

scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in thickness and adjust the

settings accordingly.

CAUTION - Always ensure that the number on the ring is at the “0” position when the tool is not in

use. At this position, the blade cannot cut the workpiece.

SWITCHING ON AND OFF

CAUTION - Before plugging the machine into the power

supply, always check that the trigger switch and trigger lock

work properly.

The tool is equipped with a trigger lock to avoid unintentional start-ups.

To turn the planer on, press the trigger lock and then squeeze the trig-

ger switch. To switch off, release the trigger switch.
