Operation
1.
Ensure machine is switched OFF and isolated from the mains supply.
2.
Ensure workbench etc. is on a firm flat foundation, and workpiece is clamped
securely to the bench.
3.
Adjust the cutting depth required with adjusting knob (see fig. 1), turn knob
clockwise from 0mm to 2mm.
Note : Never turn adjusting knob during
planing, also adjusting knob should always
be returned to ‘0’ after planing.

machine with both hands, one hand
on the handle, the other on the
adjusting knob, press the trigger lock
button with thumb then depress

5.
Gently offer plane to workpiece, starting on the
adjustable sole plate, then proceed to move plane slowly
forwards, continue all the way across workpiece until plane is completely off the end.
Repeat this procedureuntil required level is reached.
Note:
To obtain the best finish possible, start with the maximum cutting depth possible until
almost the required level is reached, then reduce the depth of cut for final passes until
the final level is reached.
6.
When finished planing, remove planer from workpiece, release trigger, (motor will
stop), once machine has stopped completely, turn adjusting knob fully anticlockwise
before carefully putting down.
