OPERATION
WARNING! To avoid injury from accidental startups, always ensure that the tool is switched OFF and un-
plugged 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 cut-
ting 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 either side of the planer. Secure
the fence using the parallel guide lock knob (Fig. 8 - 1).
3. Loosen the wing nut (Fig. 9 - 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. We
recommend practicing your cut on a piece of scrap wood whenever
possible.
4. Rest the front shoe flat on the workpiece surface and position the
fence firmly against the edge of the workpiece (Fig. J). Follow in-
structions on page 10 “Operating Your Planer” to perform your cut.
MAKING A RABBETING CUT
The planer can create rabbeting cuts up to 1/3 of an inch, limited by
the protruding housing on the right-hand side of the tool.
1. Make sure that the workpiece is secured to a stable platform.
2. Follow instructions in “Operating your Planer” on page 10 to
perform your cut.
3. Make multiple progressive cuts to achieve the desired total cut-
ting depth (Fig. 10).
