4. Using a scrap piece of wood, slide the old blade
out of the blade clamp.
NOTE: If the blade is difficult to remove, clean the
blade and blade clamp with alcohol, mineral spirits,
or lacquer thinner.
5. Rotate the blade drum and repeat for other blade.
To install blades:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Reverse blades or use new blades.
3. Align the groove on the top of the blade with the
ridge of the blade clamp and carefully slide the
blade onto the drum.
4. Center the blade lengthwise - it will overhang the
blade clamp slightly on both sides.
5. Using a block of wood, push the blade back to-
wards the blade clamp so that the inner side of
the blade is pressed against the step on the drum.
This will ensure proper alignment to reduce tool
vibration and verify the depth of cut is accurate.
6. Using a torque wrench, tighten
all three blade bolts to
19 in. lb.
7. Verify torque of all bolts again
now that the blade is secured
into place. WARNING! Im-
properly tightened blade bolts
may result in loosened blades, which could cause
injury or damage to the tool or workpiece.
8. Rotate blade drum and repeat for other blade.
9. Once installed, rotate the blade drum to ensure the
blade does not contact the shoe or housing, and
that the blades are both installed straight.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Determine the amount of material to be removed
during each pass of the planer. Take into account
the moisture and hardness of the workpiece, as
well as the desired feed rate.
3. Each detent is 1/256". Turn the
knob clockwise to increase the
depth of cut, counterclockwise
to decrease the depth of cut.
Do not change the depth of cut
while planing.
4. Make a test cut. If the planer
moves easily through the workpiece, increase
the depth of cut. If the planer seems to strain,
decrease the depth of cut.
Closing the Kickstand
The kickstand is provided to
protect the blade when the tool
is set down. It is pushed up
automatically during a normal
planing operation. To close the
kickstand manually, push closed
and slide to the side.
WARNING
to comply with ANSI Z87.1.
When working in dusty situations, wear appro-
priate respiratory protection or use an OSHA
compliant dust extraction solution.
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Check blades. Replace if necessary.
3. Turn the shavings diverter to the desired side.
Install the vacuum on the appropriate side of the
tool, if desired.
NOTE: Only attach the shavings collection attach-
ment if using the dust collection methods.
4. Adjust the depth of cut based on amount of mate-
rial to be removed.
5. Clamp work securely.
6. Insert battery pack.
7. Securely grasp the tool by the handle and the
depth adjustment knob.
8. Line up the front of the tool with the workpiece.
WITHOUT contacting the blade drum to the
workpiece, press down on the trigger lock-off and
pull the trigger. Wait for the tool to come to full
speed before beginning to avoid overloading and
damaging the tool.

9. Keeping the front shoe flush with the work-
piece, use gentle pressure to guide the planer.
All pressure should be on the front shoe when
starting the cut. Transfer downward pressure
to the rear shoe as it contacts the workpiece.
NOTE: Too much pressure will result in uneven
planing.
10. For best results, push
planer through the
workpiece at an even
rate. Do not push too
fast as it will strain
the motor and could
damage the blades.
Do not pull the planer
backward over the workpiece.
Slow feed + shallow depth of cut = smooth finish
Faster feed + deep depth of cut = rough finish
Kickstand
11. When finished with the pass, lift the planer away
from the workpiece. Wait for the blade to come to
a complete stop before setting down.
12. Continue using progressive cuts until near the
desired depth. Set the adjustment knob to a very
shallow depth for the final passes. This will ensure
a smooth finish.
