ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR MAKING
RABBET CUTS
See Figure 11, page 12.
 Unplug the planer.
 Attach the bracket to the left side of the planer using the
knob bolt.
 Attach the edge guide loosely to the bracket using the
knob nut and the carriage head bolt.
 Adjust the edge guide to the desired width for the rabbet
cut.
 Tighten the knob nut securely.
WARNING:
When servicing, use only identical replacement parts.
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause
product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do so could result in
objects being thrown into your eyes resulting in possible
serious injury.
WARNING:
Failure to unplug the planer could result in accidental
starting causing serious injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
OPERATION
TO MAKE RABBET CUTS
See Figure 11, page 12.
Follow the directions in the Planing section earlier in this
manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the
work surface.
The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth
of the cut and the number of passes made along the
work surface. The maximum depth of the rabbet cut is
7/16 in. and has to be cut in 3/32 in. passes or less to reach
the desired depth. The width of the rabbet cut is adjustable
by moving the edge guide.

MAINTENANCE

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling
compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and
possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and
grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commuta-
tors, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this
tool for extended work on these types of materials. However,
if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrica-
tion is required.
POWER SUPPLY CORD REPLACEMENT
If replacement of the power supply cord is necessary, this
must be done by an authorized service center in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
CLEANING THE EXHAUST PORT AND
EMPTYING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 12, page 12.
After using the planer for an extended period of time or
when planing wet or green lumber, chips may build-up in the
exhaust port and require cleaning. Chip build-up restricts air
flow and causes the motor to overheat. Clean the exhaust
port and empty the dust bag regularly.
 Unplug the planer.
 Remove the dust bag from the exhaust port.
 Clean the chip or dust build-up from the exhaust port of
the planer with a small piece of wood. Do not use your
hands or fingers.
 Empty all debris from the dust bag and ensure that the
collar is free of debris.
 Replace the dust bag.
