back over the surface already cut.)
6. Use progressive cuts until you are near the
desired depth, and then re-adjust to a thin
cut for the final pass to obtain a good
surface finish.
DEPTH OF CUT AND FEED RATE
The cutting depth (planing depth) is
determined by the difference in height between
the adjustable front shoe and the fixed rear
shoe of the planer. The depth knob adjusts the
front shoe, which retracts and exposes the
blade and determines the amount of material
removed from the workpiece. The cutting
depth range is from 0 to 1/16" (1.5 mm) per
pass. (Fig. 1)
The appropriate depth of cut and feed rate
depends on the workpiece material:
To avoid clogging and/or damage to the motor,
a thinner cut and/or a slower feed rate may be
needed if the material has any of these
characteristics: hardness; gumminess,
sappiness, moisture, paint, varnish and/or
knots. Also, when planing against the grain or
PLANER STAND
The planer stand automatically springs down
to help keep the blade from coming in
contact with the work surface when planer is
not in use (Fig. 8). The planer stand is
designed to swing up and out of the way by it
itself when the back of the plane crosses the
leading edge of the workpiece (Fig. 6). It will
also swing up when planing begins in the
middle of the work piece (in from the edge of
the work piece).
BEVELING EDGES
The V-groove in the front planer base plate
allow quick and easy beveling of workpiece
edges. (Fig. 9).
The motor may stall if

overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed rate)
or depth of cut to prevent possible damage to
the tool if the motor labors.
across the grain rather than with the grain, a
shallower cut and/or slower feed rate is
required. Whenever possible, test by planing a
similar piece of scrap material.
Use multiple, progressive cuts to achieve the
total desired depth.
Start with a thin cut. If the plane moves freely
through the workpiece with no excessive load
on the motor, the depth setting can be
increased before the next cut.
When near the desired total depth, re-adjust
the planing depth to a thin setting for the final
cut to obtain a good surface finish.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut: Rotate depth
adjustment knob until the indicator is aligned
with the desired cutting depth on the depth
scale (Fig. 1).
