Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areasinvite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modifythe plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs andmatching outlets will reduce risk of
electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-
tors.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body isearthed or grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the risk
of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep
cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extensioncord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord
suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not
use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as dust
mask,non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protectionused for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.

●
●
●
●
●
●
Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is inthe off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying power tools with your finger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turningthe power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached
to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance atall times. This enables better control of the
power tool inunexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can becaught in moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extractionand collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reducedust-related hazards.
Power tool use and care Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application.
The correct power tool will do thejob better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power tool before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power
tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be performed.Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the opera-
tor an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are hidden in the work area or call the local utility
company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an
electric shock.
Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback
when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
When working, always hold the planer in such a manner that the planer base plate faces flat on the
workpiece.
Otherwise the planer can become wedged and lead to injuries.
Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft can become

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal
fuse (ASTA
approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an
appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug
should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid
a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.
Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current
of 30 mA or less.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the safety rules stated in this instruction manual may cause serious
personal injury.

Planer blade adjustment
1.Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The
blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is,parallel to the surface of the
rear base.
Below are some examples of proper and improper settings
A Front base (Movable shoe) B Rear base (Stationary shoe)
Correct setting Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blades run
perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.
Nicks in surface Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge parallel to rear base line
Gouging at start Cause: One or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation to
rear base line.
Gouging at end Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes too far in relation to rear base
line.
Do not press the On/Off button forcefully without pressing the double safety switch, which may cause
the On/Off button to break.
After the cutting operation is completed, the support foot can lift the rear side of the planer to prevent
damage to the blade.
When pushing the planer, the support foot will rotate to the position flush with the work surface. As
shown above.
Before installing or removing the planer blade,lease turn off the tool power switch and unplug the
power.
Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation
bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they are tightened securely.
Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or hands when removing
or installing the blades.
Use only the TACKLIFE wrench provided to remove or install the blades. Failure to do so may result
in overtightening or insufficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could cause an injury
To remove the blade on the blade shaft, first turn the machine upside down on the workbench with
the blade facing the operator, turn the blade shaft by hand to expose the screw, and then remove the
screw.First use the socket wrench to turn the three hex bolts counterclockwise, and use the hex key
to turn the two hex socket screws counterclockwise. Then push the blade from the side with a wooden
stick, to remove the blade from the blade shaft.
To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use
blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor
planing action and, eventually, tool breakdown.
Carbide inserts have two cutting edges that can be inverted for use on the other side. When both
cutting edges are blunt, the blade must be replaced.
Please pay attention, to install the blade in the groove of the cutter shaft, use a hex key to pre-tension
the three bolts. Then install the blade with a small wooden stick to ensure that the edge of the blade
is aligned with the backplane. Check this alignment carefully to ensure uniform cutting.Finally, use the
socket wrench to evenly and evenly tighten all mounting bolts clockwise.
Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tightness.
Repeat procedures 1 - 5 for other blade.

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 tighten-
ing the screw.
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise
uneven planing may result.
