DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Adjust the planing depth from 0 to 1.5 mm (ERP6582RG
/ ERP6582) / 2.0 mm (ERP7582RG / ERP7582K) in 0.2
mm increments until the last step meets to the maximum
depth of 1.5 mm (ERP6582RG / ERP6582) / 2.0 mm
(ERP7582RG / ERP7582K).
TOOL STAND
See Figure 15.
The tool stand is used when the tool is not in use, it keeps
the blade up and away from the bench or timber that is
about to be planed.
EDGE/REBATE GUIDE
The edge guide included allows you to plane edges and
make rebate cuts.
DUST BAG
The dust bag attaches to the tool and helps keep the work
area free of dust and debris.
ADJUSTMENTS
WARNING
The power tool should never be connected to the power
supply when assembling parts, making adjustments,
cleaning, performing maintenance or when the tool is
not in use. Disconnecting the tool prevents accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
ATTACHING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 1.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Slide the collar of the dust bag on to the dust port.
NOTE:
To remove the dust bag, pull it straight out of the
dust port.
CAUTION
The dust bag fi lls quickly. Empty it often to prevent
damage to the product.
ADJUSTING THE DUST DIRECTION
See Figure 2.
Control the direction of debris when working in confi ned
areas. Change the direction of the dust to either the right
or left.
1. Unplug the tool.
2. Adjust the dust direction and dust bag:
To adjust dust to the right, move the dust direction
knob to the right and install the dust bag on the
right dust port.
To adjust dust to the left, move the dust direction
knob to the left and install the dust bag on the left
dust port.
ADJUSTING THE PLANING DEPTH
See Figure 3.
Always work from a rough cut to a fi nish cut. The
approximate setting for rough planing is 0.8 mm. For fi nish
planing, use a setting of approximately 0.4 mm. Make test
cuts in scrap wood after each adjustment to make sure
that the planer is removing the desired amount of wood.
1. Unplug the planer.
2. Turn the depth adjustment knob to the desired setting.
NOTE:
To protect the blades during storage, transporting
etc., set the depth adjustment to 0.
OPERATION
WARNING
Wait for the tool to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed tool may engage the surface leading to
possible loss of control and serious injury.
STARTING/STOPPING THE PLANER
See Figure 4.
To start the planer, push the lock-off button and then
depress the trigger switch.
To stop the planer-release the trigger switch.
NOTE:
The ERP7582RG / ERP7582K is fi tted with a
feature known as soft start, this feature is electronically
controlled and delays the start up of the motor and blades.
PLANING
See Figure 5.
1. Clamp the workpiece securely.
2. Adjust the planing depth. Refer to “Adjusting the
Planing Depth” earlier in this manual.
3. Hold the depth adjustment knob/auxiliary handle with
your left hand and the main handle with your right
hand.
WARNING
Always use two hands on the tool for any operation;
this assures that you maintain control and avoid risk
of serious personal injury. Always properly support and
clamp the work so that both hands are free to control
the tool.
4. Place the front shoe on the edge of the workpiece to
be planed.
NOTE:
Make sure the blades are not touching the
workpiece.
5. Apply pressure to the front handle so that the front
shoe is completely fl at on the workpiece.
