DeWalt DW675 - Planing; Side Fence Safety Cover; Fence Adjustment

Planing
With both hands on the tool, place the front shoe on the work,
making certain that blades are not touching the work. Put pressure
on the handle so that the front shoe is absolutely flat on the work
(Figure 4). Start to plane with motor running at full speed.
NOTE: Several shallow passes will produce a smoother surface
than one deep one.
In the beginning and at the end of planing, be especially careful to
keep your planer flat on the work (Figures 5 & 6).
Side Fence Safely Cover
The planer is equipped with an adjustable side fence to assist you
in planing long pieces. A safety cover mounted to the side fence
covers all of the planer blade that is not being used to plane.
Assemble the side fence and safety cover as shown in Figure 7.
NOTE: When using the whole side of the blade for planing, as
shown in Figure 8, the safety cover need not be installed; it will not
cover any portion of the blade in this situation.
Fence Adjustment
UNPLUG PLANER
The side fence is secured in the front bore. Mount the fence as
shown in Figure 8, and use it to guide the planer along the edge of
the wood. NOTE: In order for the fence to perform properly, the
edge of the wood must be flat and at 90° from the surface beina
planed.
NOTE: For proper rabbeting, It is necessary to use fence. Refer to
Figure 11.
