WARNING:
Do not attempt to clear a blocked chip exhaust until the
blades stop and you have disconnected the product from
the power source. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
PLANING
See Figure 8, page 12.
 Clamp the work securely.
 Adjust the planing depth. Refer to Planing Depth earlier
in this manual.
 Hold the depth adjustment knob with one hand and the
handle with your other hand.
WARNING:
Always use two hands on the tool for any operation; this
assures that you maintain control and avoid risk of seri-
ous personal injury. Always properly support and clamp
the work so that both hands are free to control the planer.
Never operate the tool overhead or inverted from the prop-
er operating position; serious personal injury may result.
 Place the front shoe on the edge of work to be planed.
NOTE: Make sure the blades are not touching the work.
 Apply pressure to the depth adjustment knob so that the
front shoe is completely flat on the work.
 Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.
 Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work,
using a slow, steady motion.
 Plane slowly and empty the dust bag often.
 Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as you
reach the end of the planed cut. This helps keep the rear
section of the planer base in contact with the work and
prevents the front of the planer from gouging the cut.
WARNING:
Be careful to avoid hitting nails or staples during plan-
ing operation; this action could nick, crack, or damage
blades.
NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of
blades on hand. As soon as the blades in the planer show
signs of becoming dull, replace them. The blades are re-
versible and can be reversed until both sides become dull.
CHAMFERING
See Figure 9, page 12.
The planer is designed with a chamfering groove in the front
shoe to chamfer corners of boards as shown. Before making
a cut on good lumber, practice cutting on scrap lumber to
determine the amount to be removed.
OPERATION
 Clamp the work securely.
 Hold the depth adjustment knob with one hand and the
handle with your other hand.
 Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut.
 Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.
 Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work,
using a slow, steady motion.
 Apply downward pressure to keep the planer flat at the
beginning and the end of the work surface.
PLANING EDGES AND MAKING RABBET CUTS
The planer comes with an adjustable edge guide for preci-
sion edge planing and rabbet cutting. Attach the edge guide
to either side of the planer for planing edges and attach the
edge guide to the left side for making rabbet cuts.
ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR PLANING
EDGES
See Figure 10, page 12.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Attach the bracket to the desired side of the planer and
tighten the knob bolt securely.
 Attach the edge guide to the bracket using the knob nut
and the carriage head bolt.
 Tighten the knob nut securely.
PLANING EDGES
See Figure 11, page 13.
Follow the directions in the Planing section earlier in this
manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the
work surface.
ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR MAKING
RABBET CUTS
See Figure 10, page 12.
 Remove the battery pack.
 Attach the bracket to the left side of the planer and tighten
the knob bolt securely.
 Attach the edge guide loosely to the bracket using the
knob nut and the carriage head bolt (do not tighten).
 Adjust the edge guide to the desired width for the rabbet
cut.
 Tighten the knob nut securely.
TO MAKE RABBET CUTS
See Figure 12, page 13.
Follow the directions in the Planing section earlier in this
manual. Rest 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 1/2 in. and has to be
cut in 1/16 in. passes or less to reach the desired depth. The
width of the rabbet cut is adjustable by moving the edge guide.
