Sharpening Blades (Fig. 6)
1. Fasten the blade to the sharpening holder (V).
Make sure both blade edges are facing the
same direction.
2. Place the blade edges so they rest flat on the
grinding stone.
3. Firmly grip the sharpening holder and move it
back and forward to sharpen the blade (O).

OPERATION

We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current rating of
30mA or less.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use sharp blades only.
PRIOR TO OPERATION:
• Adjust the depth of cut.
• Fit and adjust the parallel fence, if needed.
Switch (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Check that the tool is not locked on before connecting it to a power
supply. If the trigger switch is locked on when the tool is connected to the power
supply, it will start immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off.
To start the planer depress the trigger switch (A). To turn the planer off, release the
trigger switch.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The tool can be locked on for continuous use. To lock the tool ON depress the trigger
switch (A) and push in the lock-on button (B). Hold the lock-on button in as you
gently release the trigger switch. The tool will continue to run.
To turn the tool off from a locked-on position, squeeze and release the trigger once.

Planing (Fig. 1)
V
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off.
Place the front of the shoe on the surface to be planed, making certain that the cutting
blades are not touching the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of the
planer so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work surface. Turn the tool
O
on and allow the motor to reach full speed before touching the planer blades to the
work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure to keep the
planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the beginning and the end of
the work surface.
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap wood to the end of
the piece you are planing. Don't stop planing until the cutting blades of the planer are
past your work piece and into the scrap material.
Parking Foot (Fig. 1)
Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (K) that automatically lowers into place
when the tool is lifted from the work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises as
the tool is pushed forward. When the parking foot is lowered, the planer can set on
the work surface without the blade touching.
CAUTION: Do not lock the trigger switch on and engage the parking foot. The
vibration of the running motor will cause the planer to move, possibly falling from the
work piece.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect battery pack before making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories.
Lubrication
Your power tool requires no additional lubrication.
