CHAMFERING
Refer to Figure 7
To make a chamfered cut, align the “V” grooves in the
front shoe of the planer with the corner edge of the
workpiece.
• Adjust to desired depth of cut.
• Place the “V” groove on the front adjustable shoe over
the edge being beveled. Place weight on the depth
adjustment knob so that the “V” groove is flat on the
edge to be beveled.
• Grasp the tool firmly with both hands. Turn the tool on
and push the plane forward with steady pressure on the
front adjustable shoe.

Otherwise, the resulting imbalance can cause vibration
and poor planing action while shortening the life of the
blade and the tool.
The planer blades are reversible. When one of the
cutting edges becomes dull or chipped the blade can be
reversed. When both cutting edges have been used the
blades should be discarded.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use resharpened blades of
any kind. Use only blades designated for use with this
model, as other blades may not clamp securely in blade
holder, causing vibration and a decrease in performance.
• Use the wrench supplied to loosen all clamping screws.

Screws
• Clean chips and foreign matter from the cutter drum and

edges are dull, remove the blade and replace it with a
new blade.
• Slide the good blade face up into the blade holder of the
cutter drum until it stops. The ridge along the blade goes
on the opposite side of the clamping screws.
Align Blade
• Loosely tighten the two outside clamping screws, the
blade must be adjusted to align with the outside edge
of the front and rear shoes.
