SWITCHING ON/OFF
Caution! Ensure that the tool is in good condition.
1. Depress the lock-off button and then squeeze the on/off switch to start the tool.
2. Release the trigger switch to turn off the tool.
PlANING
1. Choose desired cut depth before operation.
2. It is desirable to select a shallow cutting depth and repeat the cutting process several times until
the desired depth is achieved.
3. Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the bench.
4. Rest the front base flat on the workpiece surface without the blades making any contact with the
workpiece. Apply some pressure on the tool through auxiliary handle so that the front base of the
tool is flat against the workpiece.
5. Switch on the tool and allow it to reach its full speed.
6. Hold the planer firmly with both hands and move the tool gently forward
7. When the tool is close to the finishing line, apply downward pressure onto the rear handle to keep the rear
base flat on the workpiece. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it downwards.
8. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish. For rough cutting, you can
increase the depth of cut, however to achieve a good finish you will need to reduce the depth of cut and
advance the tool more slowly.
Note: Wait for the blade to come to a complete stop before setting the tool down.
Note: The tool has an auto-retracting foot on the rear base to prevent the blade from contacting bench
top when the tool is put down. During operation, the foot will automatically retract as it passes
through the edge of workpiece.
CHAMFERING
1. Three “V” grooves are located in the front base which allows you to chamfer the edges of the workpiece.
2. Place either “V” groove onto the edge of the workpiece and make a steady stroke.
USING THE “T” GUIDE
The “T” guide is used for precise straight cutting along edges and can be mounted to either the left or right side
of the planer.
1. Slide the “T” guide through its guide slot to desired position and fix it by tightened the fixing screw.
2. Make sure the flat surface of “T” guide is kept tight against the edge of the workpiece while making your cut.
