11
. Never stick your finger into thechute.

of eye injury, always wear ANSI Z87.1approved eye
protection when performingthisprocedure.

WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh
chemicals for cleaning the non‑metallic parts of the
tool. These chemicals may weaken the plastic materials
used in these parts. Use a cloth dampened only with
water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get inside the
tool; never immerse any part of the tool into aliquid.

Sharpening High‑Speed Steel Blades
(Fig.L)

CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle
with greatcare.
NOTE: Carbide blades cannot besharpened.
1. Fasten the blades to the sharpening holder
28
. Make
sure both blade edges
21
are facing the samedirection.
2. Place the blade edges so they rest flat on the grinding
stone (notincluded).
3. Firmly grip the sharpening holder and move it back and
forward to sharpen the blade edges
21
.
Kickstand (Fig.M)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
29
located behind
the rear shoe
4
that automatically lowers when the tool is
lifted from the work surface allowing the planer to set on the
work surface without the blade touching it. When planing,
the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward through
the material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing work,
it can be stored and locked out of theway.

CAUTION: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly
extended when setting the planer on a worksurface.
Edge Chamfering (Fig.N)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering groove
30
in the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. The
width of the groove is 4.5 to 8mm. It’s a good idea to try a
piece of scrap wood before doing finishwork.
Dust Extraction (Fig.A,O)
Your planer has a built-in dust extraction port
12
which
allows either a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be connected.
The built-in outlet utilizes the DeWALT AirLock connection
system making it compatible with the DeWALT dustextractor.
To Attach the Dust Bag
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar onto the
dust extraction port
12
as shown in FigureO.
To Empty The Dust Bag
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag by sliding
it off the dust extraction port
12
.
2. Gently shake or tap the dust bag toempty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto theoutlet.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from
the bag. This will not affect planing performance but will
reduce the planer’s dust collection efficiency. To restore your
planer’s dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside
the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side
of the trash can or dustreceptacle.
NOTE: A DeWALT AirLock Adapter (DWV9000) can be
purchased separately to connect a shop vacuum or DeWALT
dust extractor to yourplaner.

CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the
dust collector is in place. Planing dust exhaust may
create a breathinghazard.
