SWITCHING ON AND OFF
(FIG. 13)
CAUTION:
Before plugging the
machine into the power supply, always
check that the trigger switch and lock-off
button are working properly.
1. Connect the power cord of your planer
to a standard household power outlet.
2. To turn the planer ON, hold the tool with
both hands, push in the lock-off button,
and then press the on/off trigger switch.
3. To turn the planer OFF, release the
trigger switch.

PLANING (FIG. 14)
CAUTION:
Hold the tool with
both hands while starting the tool, since
torque from the motor can cause the tool
to twist.
1. Unplug the planer and adjust the edge
guide and cutting depth as appropriate.
2. Clamp the workpiece securely to a
workbench.
3. Connect the power cord of your planer
to a standard household power outlet.
4. While standing comfortably, hold the
planer firmly with both hands.
5. Place the front base of the planer
against the workpiece surface without
the blades making any contact with the
workpiece.
6. Switch on the tool, allow it to reach full
speed, and guide the tool with even
feed over the surface to be planed.
7. Move the tool gently forward, applying
pressure on the front of the tool at
the beginning of the planing pass and
pressure at the rear of the tool at the
end of the planning pass.
8. Push the planer beyond the edge of the
workpiece, being careful not to tilt it
downward.
9. Remove the planer from the workpiece
before turning it off.
The rate of planing and the depth of cut
determine the quality of the cut. For rough
cutting, you can increase the depth of cut.
To achieve a smooth cut, you will need to
reduce the depth of cut and advance the
planer slowly across the workpiece.
The proper feed rate will depend on the
type of material being cut and the depth
of the cut. When planing hard materials
(e.g., hardwood), as well as when utilizing
the maximum planer width, set only low
planing depths and reduce the planer feed
as required.
Practice first on a scrap piece of material
to gauge the correct feed rate and the cut
dimensions.
FIG. 14
NOTICE: Moving the planer too quickly
may cause a poor quality of cut and can
damage the blades or the motor. Moving
the planer too slowly may burn or mar the
workpiece.
