Adjusting the Planing Depth (Fig. A)
To adjust the depth of cut, turn the planing depth adjustment
knob
10
. Each click is equal to 0.1 mm of depth up to the
maximum depth of cut of approximately 2.0 mm.
It is recom mended that test cuts be made in scrap wood
after each re-adjustment to make sure that the desired
amount of wood is being removed by the planer. Several
shallow passes (rather than one deep one) will produce a
smoother finish.

the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of the planer
so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work surface.
Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the motor to reach full
speed before touching the planer blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward
pressure to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep
the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface.
Planing Tip:
For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of
scrap wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don’t stop
planing until the cutting blades of the planer are past your
workpiece and into the scrap material.
