Workpiece 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 workpieces 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.
General Operating instructions
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the off
position, then plug in the tool.
2. Rotate the Kickstand up behind the Rear Base Plate.
3. While standing to the side of the workpiece, hold the
Planer firmly with one hand on the handle portion of
the Housing and the other hand on the Depth Knob.
Do not turn the Depth Knob during use.
4. Set the Planer’s Front Base Plate
on the front edge of the workpiece.
Then, depress the Safety Lock Button and
squeeze the Trigger to start the Planer.
WarninG!
Confirm that both Knives are properly
aligned and that both Knives are secured fully. Start
tool off of workpiece and allow tool to reach full speed.
• If tool vibrates or becomes noisy
SWITCH IT OFF IMMEDIATELY, unplug it and
allow it to come to a complete stop. Adjust
and tighten the Knives to correct imbalance.
• If vibration or noise persists, do not use tool until
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
iMpOrtant:
Do not start to move the Planer across
the workpiece until the Knives are spinning at full speed.
5. While placing pressure on the Front Base Plate
to control the depth of cut and the Guide (if used)
to control the width of cut, feed the Planer slowly
until the Rear Base Plate contacts the workpiece.
Then, transfer pressure to the Rear Base Plate, and
continue planing slowly to the end of the cut.
Do not
pull the Planer back over the surface already cut.
6. If necessary, repeat Step #4, using progressively
deeper cuts until you near the desired depth.
7. Adjust the Depth Adjustment Knob to
make a light cut for the final pass to help
give the workpiece a cleaner finish.
nOtE:
The Planer’s motor may stall if the tool
is improperly used. If the motor begins to stall,
reduce the feed speed at which you are making
the cut and/or reduce the depth of the cut.
8. When finished planing, carefully lift the planer from
the workpiece and release the Trigger. Wait until
the Planer’s Knife Drum comes to a complete stop,
then rotate the Kickstand down. Set the Planer
down so it is supported by the Adjustable Base Plate
and the Kickstand. Then unplug the Planer and
turn the Depth Adjustment Knob to the “0” setting.
9. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children’s reach.
