PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading
to possible loss of control and serious injury. Note The above
warning applies only to planers without an automatic closing
guard.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only,
because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a
"live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool
"live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction book
carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for planning of firmly supported wooden
materials, such as beams and boards. It is also suitable for
bevelling 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 planning depth can be adjusted from 0 to 2mm. Rotate the
cutting depth adjustment knob to set the required cutting depth
with the scale. Clockwise rotation increases the planning depth; the
anticlockwise rotation reduces the planning depth.
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 plane 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 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. Turn the screw into the nut on the housing. Fix the
parallel guide 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 10mm.
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 (a) is adjustable by moving the parallel
guide. The depth of rebating cut (b) is determined by moving the
Rebate, and the number of passes made along the workpiece.
Make sure that the plane is guided with a lateral supporting pressure.
8. USING THE DUST BAG (SEE FIG. I)
Your planer is equipped with a dust bag for collection of wood chips
