ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST DIRECTION (Fig. 2)
Control the direction of debris when working in confined
areas. Change the direction of the exhaust to either the
right or left.
Follow these steps to adjust the exhaust direction:
Unplug the planer.
Adjust the exhaust direction and dust bag:
- To adjust exhaust to the right: Move the exhaust
direction knob (2) to the right and install the dust
bag on the right exhaust port.
- To adjust exhaust to the left: Move the exhaust
direction knob to the left and install the dust bag
on the left exhaust port.
ADJUSTING THE PLANING DEPTH (Fig. 3)
Always work from a rough cut to a finish cut.
The approximate setting for rough planing is 0.8 mm.
For finish planing use a setting of approximately 0.4 mm.
Make test cuts in scrap wood after each adjustment to
make sure that the planer is removing the desired
amount of wood.
Follow these steps to adjust planing depth:
Unplug the planer.
Turn the depth adjustment knob (3) to the desired setting.
NOTE: To protect the blades during storage, transporting,
etc., set the depth adjustment to 0.

NOTE: Make sure the blades (11) are not touching the work.
NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of
blades on hand. As soon as the blades in your planer
show signs of becoming dull, replace them. The blades in
your planer are reversible and can be reversed until both
sides become dull.
CHAMFERING (Fig. 6)
The planer is designed with a chamfering groove in the
front shoe to chamfer edges of boards as shown.
Before making a cut on good lumber, practice cutting on
scrap lumber to determine the amount to be removed.
Follow these steps to chamfer:

Adjust the planing depth. Refer to "Adjusting the
Planing Depth" earlier in this manual.
Hold the front handle (1/22) with your left hand and
the rear handle (6) with your right hand.
WARNING
Always use two hands on the tool for any
operation; this assures that you maintain control
and avoid risk of serious personal injury. Always
properly support and clamp the work so that both
hands are free to control the planer.
Place the front shoe (10) on the edge of work to
be planed.
Apply pressure to the front handle so that the front
shoe is completely flat on the work.
Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum
speed.
Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the
work, using a slow, steady motion.
Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as
you reach the end of the planed cut. This helps keep
the rear section of the planer base in contact with the
work and prevents the front of the planer from
gouging the cut.
WARNING
Be careful to avoid hitting nails during planing
operation; this action could nick, crack,
or damage blades.
Clamp the work securely.
Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear
handle with your right hand.
Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut.
