1.
Make sure that the workpiece is secured to a stable platform.
2.
Hold the planer firmly with both hands. Align the V-groove in the front shoe of the planer with the corner edge of
the workpiece (Fig. H). Be sure the blades are not touching the workpiece. Place weight on the depth adjustment
knob so that the V-groove is absolutely flat on the edge to be beveled.
3.
Switch the tool ON and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
4.
Push the planer forward along the grain of the wood with steady pressure on the front shoe.
5.
Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it downwards. Turn off the planer and wait for
the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments to the planer.
USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE FENCE
The parallel guide fence ensures that the planer travels parallel to the edge of the wood , providing a
straight cut at your desired cutting width. This feature is helpful for planing door edges, wood trim and
boards. To attach the parallel guide fence:
1.
Disconnect the planer from the
battery
.
2.
Attach the parallel guide fence to either side of the planer. Secure the fence using the parallel guide lock knob
(Fig. I - 1).
3.
Loosen the wing nut (Fig. J - 1) on the parallel guide fence and slide the fence to set the desired cutting width
indicated by the width gauge. Retighten the wing nut.
NOTE:
To ensure a square cut, measure the front and back of the fence and use a square to make sure the guide
is set straight. We recommend practicing your cut on a piece of scrap wood whenever possible.
4.
Rest the front shoe flat on the workpiece surface and position the fence firmly against the edge of the workpiece
(Fig. J). Follow instructions on page

“Operating Your Planer” to perform your cut.
MAKING A RABBETING CUT
The planer can create rabbeting cuts up to 1/3 of an inch, limit- ed by the protruding housing on the right-
hand side of the tool .
1.
Make sure that the workpiece is secured to a stable platform.
2.
Follow instructions in “Operating your Planer” on page
7
to perform your cut.
3.
Make multiple progressive cuts to achieve the desired total cutting depth (Fig.
K).
WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making adjustments or installing or removing blades.
