Adjusting the Depth of Cut (Fig .8)
The proper cutting depth should be determined
according to the hardness, gumminess or
moisture content of the material being cut, as
well as the feed rate, and is largely a matter of
experience.
Rotate the depth adjustment knob clockwise
for a deeper cut and counterclockwise for a
shallower cut.
The numbers on the cutting depth scale
indicate the depth of cut, e.g., when 1/64'' is
next to the pointer on the front of the planer,
the depth of cut is approximately 1/64''.
If it is necessary to more accurately determine
the depth of cut, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in thickness and adjust
the setting.
NOTICE: Always set the depth adjustment knob at the "P" position when the tool is not in use.
This retracts the planer blade, allowing the power tool to be placed down without the danger of
causing damage to the workpiece or the planer blade.
Turning ON and OFF (Fig .9)
a. Connect the power cord of your planer to a
standard household power outlet.
b. To turn the planer ON, hold the tool with both
hands, push in the lock-off button first, and
then press the on/off trigger switch.
c. To turn the planer OFF, release the trigger
switch.
