REBATING
The “L” depth guide is used in conjunction with the “T” guide for rebating applications. The depth of rebating is
determined by the depth of cut and the number of passes made along the workpiece. The maximum rebate depth is
1/2" made in several passes up to 5/64" each time. The maximum width of rebate cut is 3-1/4" and is determined by
the setting of “T” guide.
1. Fit the “L” guide and the “T” guide to the planer on opposite sides of the tool.
2. Adjust the “T” guide according to the required cutting width and tighten the fixing screw.
3. Set the tool on a flat surface with the rear base flat with the surface, adjust the “L” guide so that the distance
between the bottom surface of the “L” guide and the flat surface equals to the desired rebating depth, tighten
the fixing screw of “L” guide.
4. Set the cutting depth adjustment knob to a suitable depth.
5. Carry out the planning with the flat surface of “T” guide kept tight against the edge of workpiece. Repeat
cutting until the bottom surface of “L” guide is level with the surface of workpiece.

Do not attempt to clean by inserting pointed objects through openings. Certain cleaning agents and solvents may
damage plastic parts. Some of these are: gasoline, carbon tetrachloride, chlorinated cleaning solvents, ammonia
and household detergents that contain ammonia. To ensure safe use and maximize service life of your tool, following
instructions should be observed:
1. Regularly inspect all mounting screws and ensure that they are properly tightened.
2. Regularly clean the air vents of the tool.
3. Check and replace carbon brushes when necessary.
REPlACING CARBON BRUSHES
1. Using the parts list included, locate the carbon brushes. Remove the brush holder caps with a
screwdriver and inspect the carbon brushes. Replace them when they are worn up to about one third.
2. Take the old brush out and install new brushes. Remove all of the brushes at once. Make sure the
brush slides freely within the brush housing.
3. Run the motor for 15 minutes without load to shape the brushes, so that they are properly aligned
with the commutator.
