ADJUSTING THE RABBETING
DEPTH STOP (FIG. 6)
The rabbeting depth stop allows the user
to set any rabbeting depth from 0 to 23/32”
(18mm).
For best results, it is important that the blade
be properly aligned with the front base. The
width of the rabbet is controlled by the edge
guide. The maximum cutting width is 3-1/4”
(82mm), and the final depth is achieved by
repeating the planing procedure until the
rabbeting depth stop contacts the workpiece.

SETTING THE RABBETING DEPTH
1. Loosen the rabbeting depth-stop locking
nut and set the desired rabbet depth by
aligning the depth scale on the rabbeting
depth stop with the indicator line.
2. Securely tighten the locking nut.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT
(FIG. 7)
WARNING:
Your tool should
never be connected to the power source
when you are assembling parts, making
adjustments, installing or removing
blades, cleaning, or when it is not in
use. Disconnecting the tool will prevent
accidental starting, which could cause
serious personal injury.
The proper cutting depth should be
determined according to the hardness,
gumminess or moisture content of the
material being cut, as well as the feed rate,
and is largely a matter of experience. Rotate
the depth-adjustment knob clockwise for
a deeper cut and counterclockwise for a
shallower cut.
The numbers on the ring under the depth-
adjustable knob indicate the depth of cut,
e.g., when 1/32” is next to the pointer on
the front of the planer, the depth of cut is
approximately 1/32”.
If it is necessary to accurately determine the
depth of cut, plane a scrap piece of wood,
measure the difference in thickness and
adjust the setting.

DUST/CHIP EXTRACTION GUIDE
SWITCH (FIG. 8)
Moving the switch to the left of the tool will
cause chips to be discharged through the
left extraction port; moving it to the right of
tool causes chips to be discharged through
the right extraction port.
