OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the cutting depth adjust knob and the other
hand on the switch handle when operating the tool.

Planing
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece
surface without the blades making any contact.
Switch on and wait until the blades attain full speed.
Then move the tool gently forward. Apply pressure
on the front of tool at the start of planing, and at the
back at the end of planing. Planing will be easier if
you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so
that you can plane somewhat downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of
finish. The tool keeps cutting at a speed that will not
result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the
depth of cut can be increased, while for a good
finish you should reduce the depth of cut and
advance the tool more slowly.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use
the edge fence (guide rule). Install the edge fence on
the tool. Secure it with clamping screw (A). Loosen
the clamping screw (B) and adjust the edge fence
until it comes in contact with the side of the
workpiece. Then tighten the clamping screw (B)
securely.
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the
blade edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide.
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence
flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise,
uneven planing may result.
NOTICE: The blade edge should be made to
protrude outside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for
shiplapping.
