OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for planing of firmly supported
wooden materials, such as beams and boards. It is also
suitable for beveling edges and rebating.
1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (See Fig.A)
The switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.
Depress the lock off button then the on/off switch and
release the lock off button. The machine is working now. To
switch off, just release the on/off switch.
WARNING: Danger of kickback! Apply the
machine to the work piece only when switched on.
2. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (See
Fig.B)
The planing depth can be adjusted from 0 to 3mm. Rotate
the cutting depth adjustment knob (10) to set the required
cutting depth with the scale (9). The clockwise rotation
increases the planing depth; the anticlockwise rotation
reduces the planing depth. Always work from a rough cut
to a finish cut.
It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood
after each adjustment to make sure that desired amount of
wood is being removed by your planer.
NOTE: To protect blades during storage, transporting,
etc., set blade depth adjustment knob to 0.
3. STANDARD SURFACE PLANING (See Fig.C)
Set the desired cutting depth. Position the front part of the
base plate flat onto the work surface. Make sure that the
blades are not touching the workpiece. Switch the machine
on and push your planer forward and it will start cutting.
Always maintain all of the base plate flat on the work
surface to prevent the cutting blade jumping. Move the
planer evenly over the work surface.
Be careful to avoid hitting nails during operation. It could
nick, crack, or damage blades. We suggest that you always
keep an extra set of blades on hand for replacement.
4. EDGE CHAMFERING (See Fig D, E)
CAUTION: Always use both hands on the tool for
any operation. It assures to maintain control and
avoid the risk of serious personal injury. The workpiece
must always be properly supported and clamped so that
both hands will be free to control the planer.

Using the V-groove (A) in the base plate you can make a
chamfer on the work piece edge. Guide the planer along the
edge and maintain a constant angle and force to produce a
good finish. You can control the angle of the chamfer with
your hands. Make a test chamfer on a scrap piece of wood.
Maintain downward pressure to keep your planer flat at the
beginning and the end of the work surface.
5. USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (See Fig.F)
Insert the screw provided through the hole on the support
of parallel guide (B). Turn the screw into the nut on the
housing. Fix the parallel guide (6) on the support of parallel
guide with the screw and nut. Ensure the screws are
tightened securely.
NOTE: The parallel guide should be fitted on
the left of housing.
To adjust the required width of cut, loosen the nut and slide
the parallel guide to the required position. Retighten the
nut fully.
Use the parallel guide while cutting. The guide should be
held firmly against the edge of the workpiece.
6. USING THE REBATE (See Fig.G)
Insert the screw provided through the slot on the Rebate.
Turn the screw into the nut on the housing.
The cut depth adjustment can be set from 0 to 16mm.
To adjust the depth of cut, place the planer on a flat board,
then loosen the screw and slide the cut depth adjustment
guide up and down for required depth. Tighten the thumb
screw fully.
7. REBATING (See Fig.H)
The width of rebating cut (C) is adjustable by moving the
parallel guide. The depth of rebating cut (D) is determined by
moving the Rebate, and the number of passes made along
the workpiece. Make sure that the planer is guided with a
lateral supporting pressure.
8. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (See Fig.I-L)
NOTE: Dull and worn blade cannot be reground and must
be replaced. Always replace blades in pairs.
WARNING: Remove power cord from the socket
before carrying out any adjustments or changing
blades. Always put on gloves when replacing blades.
Using the blade spanner provided to loosen the
three installation screws approximately 1/2 rotation
anticlockwise.
NOTE: Do not over-loosen the screws. If the screws
are too loose, the alignment of the new blade will not be
accurate.
Before removing the old blades, take notice of the direction
of cut as well as how the tapered edge of the old blades are
