The Guide (64) can be used to adjust 

the width of cut, support the Planer, and 

keep the Planer from drifting away from 

the cut line (i.e., the edge of a door).  

The Guide may be attached either to 

the right side of the Planer or on its left 

side.  To do so, position the Planer on 

the wood stock that is to be cut.   Loosen 

the Screw (47) located at the front of 

the Planer.  Insert the Guide into the 

mounting hole located on either side 

toward the front of the Planer.  Slide the 

Guide in until it contacts the edge of the 

wood stock.  Then, lock the Guide in 

place by retightening the Screw.

Work Piece and Work area Set up

1.  Designate a work area that is clean and 

well-lit.  The work area must not allow 

access by children or pets to prevent 

distraction and injury.

2.  Route the power cord along a safe 

route to reach the work area without 

creating a tripping hazard or exposing 

the power cord to possible damage.  The 

power cord must reach the work area 

with enough extra length to allow free 

movement while working.

3.  Secure loose work pieces using a vise 

or clamps (not included) to prevent 

movement while working.

4.  There must not be objects, such as utility 

lines, nearby that will present a hazard 

while working.
