workpiece and plane it.

MAINTENANCE

CAUTION:
Always be sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged before attempting to
perform inspection or maintenance.
CAUTION:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thin-
ner, alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation
or cracks may result.
Sharpening the planer blades
For conventional planer blades only
Always keep your planer blades sharp for the best per-
formance possible. Use the sharpening holder (optional
accessory) to remove nicks and produce a fine edge.
