PLANING PROCEDURES

1. Adjusting the cutter depth
Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the arrow
in Fig. 3 (clockwise), until the triangular mark is
aligned with the desired cutting depth on the scale.
An interval between graduations on the scale
corresponds to 1/256" (0.1 mm) in cutting depth.
The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range of
0 - 3/32" (0 - 2.6 mm).
Triangular mark
2. Surface cutting
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large
cutting depth and at a suitable speed so that
shavings are smoothly ejected from the machine.
To ensure a smoothly finished surface, finish cutting
should be accomplished at small cutting depth and at
low speed.
3. Beginning and ending the cutting operation
As shown in Fig. 4, place the front base of the planer
on the workpiece and support the planer horizontally.
Turn ON the power switch, and slowly operate the
planer toward the leading edge of the workpiece.
Firmly depress the front half of the planer at the first
stage of cutting and, as shown in Fig. 5, depress
the rear half of the planer at the end of the cuning
operation.
The planer must always be kept flat throughout the
entire cutting operation.

4. Precaution after finishing the planing operation
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
finishing the planing operation, ensure that the
cutting blades (base) of the planer do not contact or
come too near your body. Failure to do so could result
in serious injury.
5. Stand
Lift the back of the planer to extend the foot from the
base. Having the stand extended when you put the
planer down prevents contact between the blade and
the material.
