DeWalt DW735 - Planing Features and Techniques; Speed Selection; TO SET THE MINIMUM DEPTH TO WHICH THE CARRIAGE CAN TRAVEL WITH THE TURRET STOP

1.Slide approximately 75mm (3") of your ma terial under the middle of
the carriage.
2.Be sure the wood is lying flat against the base of the planer. If the
material is inserted at an angle, the reading may be inaccurate.
3.Crank the carriage down on the ma terial until the material removal
bar engages the wood. You will see the red arrow begin to move up
the scale indicating the amount of material to be removed with the
carriage at that height.
4.Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of cut appears on
the gauge.
5.Pull the material out from under the carriage.
6.Turn the unit on and feed your material into the cutter head.
Note: Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for various widths of
material recommended on the material removal gauge.
WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH THE UNIT ON WITH THE MATERIAL
POSITIONED UNDER THE CARRIAGE. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.
Speed Selection (Fig. 8)
NOTE: ONLY SWITCH SPEEDS WHEN THE
PLANER IS RUNNING.
Your planer has the ability to feed materialat two different speeds. The two-
speed feature (P) was designed to improve efficiency when planing and to
provide the best possible surface finish to a variety of materials.
To remove material thickness more quickly, set
the unit at speed “2”. This setting delivers 96
cuts per inch to the material.
For finishing, set the unit to speed “1”. Speed
“1” is ideal for ensuring the finest finish on the
last pass before your final thickness is achieved.
Note: When planing particularly hard or figured species of wood, speed “1”
is recommended. The slower feed rate will reduce knife wear and tear-out
by delivering 179 cuts per inch to the material.

Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System
Your planer is equipped with a fan-assisted chip ejection system to aid in
exhausting chips from the unit. The fan-assisted chip ejection system will
work in conjunction with independent dust collection systems.
NOTE: It is not recommended that a shop vac be connected to the
DW735. The capacity of most vacs does not support the volume of chips
ejected during planing. The vacuum hose may clog stopping the flow of
chips.
See the Troubleshooting Guide, for additional information.
Automatic Carriage Lock
There is no manual carriage lock on your planer. A device that automatically
minimizes the movement that causes snipe during planing is designed into the
four threaded posts.
Turret Stop (Fig. 9)
Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (Q) for repetitive planing at pre-set
depths. Stops are set at 3mm (1/8"), 6.5mm (1/4"), 12.5 (1/2"), 19mm
(3/4"), 25.5mm (1"), and 32mm (1-1/4").

CARRIAGE BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE TURRET
STOP INDICATES. PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEIGHT ADJUST MENT SYSTEM ON YOUR PLANER
WILL RESULT.
TO SET THE MINIMUM DEPTH TO WHICH THE
CARRIAGE CAN TRAVEL WITH THE TURRET STOP
1. Be sure the carriage is set above 32mm (1-1/4")
before trying to set the turret stop.
2. Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the
desired thickness setting aligns with the red indicator then lower the
carriage.
3. Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the correct final
thickness is achieved.
