CAUTION: The motor may stall if improperly used or overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed rate) or depth of
cut to prevent possible damage to the tool if the motor labors.
CHAMFERING
To make a chamfered cut, first align the “V” grooves in the front shoe of the
planer with the corner edge of the workpiece.
1.
Adjust to desired depth of cut.
2.
Place the “V” groove on the front adjustable shoe over the edge
being beveled. Be sure the blades are not touching the work. Place weight on
the depth adjustment knob so that the “V” groove is absolutely flat on the
edge to be beveled.
3.
Grasp the tool firmly with both hands, turn the tool on and push the
plane forward with steady pressure on the front adjustable shoe.
TOOL PARK REST
The park rest swings down to help keep the blade from coming into contact with the work surface when the planer is
not in use. The tool park rest was 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.
TOOL PARK REST
PARALLEL FENCE
CAUTION: Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged
from the power supply. Wait until the blades have come to a complete
standstill before installing or adjusting the parallel fence.
1.
Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2.
Use the bracket fixing knob to secure the parallel fence bracket to
the left-hand side of the planer.
3.
Slide the parallel fence onto the bracket. Position the fence to the
desired width.
4.
Lock the parallel fence in position with the fence knob and coach
bolt.
EXTRACTING SHAVINGS
The shavings can be set to flow to either side of the tool to suit the task at
hand.
Set the extraction guide switch to point toward the extraction port that you
wish the chips to flow towards.
If desired, attach the dust bag by simply sliding the nozzle onto the
appropriate dust extraction port.
For efficient operation, empty the dust bag when it is no more than half full,
allowing for better airflow through the bag. Alterna-tively, the dust
extraction adaptor can be fitted to the appropriate port to allow a dust
extraction system or a suitable vacuum cleaner to be connected to the tool
for a cleaner and safer work area.
NOTICE: Shavings may jam in the dust extraction port when cut-ting 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.
