WARNING: To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and
unplugged from the power supply before making any adjustments to the planer.

USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE FENCE
The parallel guide fence ensures that the planer travels parallel
to the edge of the wood , providing a straight cut at your desired
cutting width. This feature is helpful for planing door edges,
wood trim and boards. To attach the parallel guide fence:
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Attach the parallel guide fence to the left-hand side of the
planer using the lock knob (Fig. H - 1).
3. Loosen the wing nut (Fig. I - 1) on the parallel guide fence and
slide the fence to set the desired cutting width indicated by the
width gauge. Retighten the wing nut.
NOTE: To ensure a square cut, measure the front and back of
the fence and use a square to make sure the guide is set straight.
4. Rest the front shoe flat on the workpiece surface and position
the fence firmly against the edge of the workpiece (Fig. I). Fol-
low instructions on page 10 “Operating your Planer” to perform
your cut.
USING THE RABBETING DEPTH GUIDE
The rabbeting depth guide can be adjusted anywhere from 0 to
7/10 of an inch above the base of the planer. To attach the rab-
beting depth guide:
1. Disconnect the planer from the power source.
2. Attach the rabbeting depth gauge to the right-hand side of the
planer using the lock knob (Fig. J - 1). Position the rabbeting
depth gauge to the desired height against the depth indication
mark on the side housing. Tighten the lock knob.
3. If desired, use the parallel guide fence in conjuction with the
rabbeting depth guide to create a straight rabbeting cut.
4. Make multiple progressive cuts to achieve the total cutting
depth. The required rabbeting depth is achieved when the depth
gauge is flush with the unplaned section of the workpiece to the
right-hand side of the tool (Fig. K).
NOTE: The rabbeting depth gauge allows only approximate depth settings. If it is necessary to rabbet to a precise
depth, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the rabbeted depth, and adjust the setting as necessary.
