OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To prevent serious injury, make sure all the instructions have been read
and understood before operating this tool. Before plugging the machine into the
power supply, always check that the trigger switch and trigger lock work properly.
1. USING THE SAFETY KICKSTAND
The safety kickstand (Fig. B - 1) on the back
of the planer swings down to help keep the
blade from coming into contact with the
work surface when the planer is not in use.
The kickstand is designed to swing up and
out of the way by it itself when the back of
the planer crosses the leading edge of the
workpiece.
2. CONNECTING THE CHIP EXTRACTION
PORT
The wood shavings can be set to flow from
either side of the tool to suit the task at
hand. Set the extraction guide switch (Fig.
C) to point towards the extraction port that
you wish the chips to flow towards.
If desired, attach the dust bag by sliding
the nozzle onto the appropriate chip
extraction port. For efficient operation,
empty the dust bag when it is no more
than half full, allowing for better airflow
through the bag.
You can also connect your planer to a
suitable dust extraction system through
the extraction port. Hose adaptors (not
included) may be needed depending on the
size of your dust hose.
WARNING: Shavings may jam in the dust
extraction port when cutting damp wood.
Never stick your finger into the dust
extraction port. Clean out the shavings with
a stick, but only when the cutter has stopped running and the tool has been
unplugged from the power source.
