OPERATION
Switch (Figure 2)
CAUTION: Check that the tool is not locked ON before connecting it to a power
supply. If the trigger switch is locked ON when the tool is connected to the power
supply, it will start immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface.
Lift the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
To start the planer, depress the trigger switch (A) in
figure 2. To turn the planer off, release the trigger
switch.
The tool can be locked on for continuous use. To lock the tool ON depress the trigger
Lock-On Button (Figure 2)
switch (A) and push in the lock-on button (B). Hold the lock-on button in as you gently
release the trigger switch. The tool will continue to run.
To turn the tool OFF from a locked-on position, squeeze and release the trigger once.
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or
Adjusting Planing Depth (Figure 3)
removing or installing accessories.
Planing depth is infinitely variable from 0 to .5/64
(2.0 mm). To adjust the cutting depth, rotate the depth
adjustment knob/front handle (C) clockwise from the "P"
position. The cutting depth will increase from 0 to as
much as .079 in. (2.0 mm).
It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap
wood after each re-adjustment to make sure that the
desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer.
Several shallow passes (rather than one deep one) will
produce a smoother finish.
WARNING: Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter
Planing (Figures 4, 5, 6)
may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface.
Lift the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the front handle (C) and the
other hand on the switch handle (D) as shown in figure 4. Place the front of the shoe (E)
on the surface to be planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not touching the
surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of the
planer so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on
the work surface. Squeeze the trigger switch and allow
the motor to reach full speed before touching the planer
blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain
downward pressure to keep the planer flat. Be
particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the
beginning and the end of the work surface
(Figures 4, 5, 6).
