OPERATION
Planing operation

First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece
surface without the blades making any contact. Switch
on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move
the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool
at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of
planing. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece
in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat
downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish.
The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not
result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of
cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should
reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more
slowly.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)

To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge
fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the
side of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the
screw.

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing
may result.
Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 6 mm.
You may wish to add to the length of the fence by
attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are
provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for
attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).
