■ Choose two pieces of wood according to the sizes 

shown in the figure. Mount the planer onto the wood 

surface.

 

■ Use the four base lock screws (supplied) to mount the 

planer base onto the wood.

STOCK REST
See figure 7.

 

■ The stock rest on the top of the planer provides 

convenient handling of stock for consecutive cutting 

operations. Stock placed on the top of the machine 

can be easily pulled to the operator for planing.

OPERATION

ON / OFF SWITCH
See figure 8.

 

■ Open the red switch cover to expose the ON / OFF 

switch.

 

■ To turn on the planer, push the 

I

 button. To turn off, 

push the 

O

 button. 

 

■ After operation, close the red switch cover to avoid 

accidental starting.

 WARNING

Always be sure the switch is in the OFF position before 

connecting the planer to the power source.

CIRCUIT OVERLOAD SWITCH
See figure 8.

 

■ The machine is provided with an overload switch for 

overload protection. If an overload occurs, the switch 

will pop out. If this happens, wait several minutes and 

press the switch to reset the machine.

ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
See figure 9.

 WARNING

Never plane more than 3 mm in one pass and never 

attempt to plane a board under 127 mm (5") in length. 

Always wear a protective face shield.

 

■ To adjust the depth of cut, turn the cutterhead height 

adjustment crank handle in the directions marked on 

top of the planer. The depth of cut adjustment can 

be read from the depth of cut scale. The adjustment 

gradation is 1.6 mm per revolution of the crank.

 

■ Always start your work by making a light planing 

cut. The depth of cut on subsequent passes may be 

increased by up to 3 mm, but remember that a light cut 

creates a finer finish than a heavier cut.
