socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum to
check clearances between the blade ends and the
tool body.

Change of chip discharge direction
Fig.10
Chip discharge direction can be changed to the right or
left. To change the direction, pull out the stopper while
turning it slightly backward and fit in it in one of two
openings on the opposite side of chip discharge so that
the recessed part fits to protrusion.

Dust bag (accessory)
Fig.12
Attach the dust bag onto the chip discharge opening.
The chip discharge opening is tapered. When attaching
the dust bag, push it onto the chip discharge opening
firmly as far as it will go to prevent it from coming off
during operation.
When the dust bag is about half full, remove the dust
bag from the tool and pull the fastener out. Empty the
dust bag of its contents, tapping it lightly so as to remove
particles adhering to the insides which might hamper
further collection.
9. Check the three hex flange head bolts for final
tightness.
10. Repeat procedures 1 - 9 for other blade.
For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven,
unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade
must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely
level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base.
Refer to some examples below for proper and improper
settings.

Use of elbow allows change of chip discharge direction
to perform cleaner work.
Install the elbow (optional accessory) on the tool by just
slipping on it. To remove it, just pull it out.

Although this side view cannot
show it, the edges of the blades
run perfectly parallel to the rear
base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel to rear
base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
fails to protrude enough in
relation to rear base line.
Cause: One or both blade edges
protrudes too far in relation
to rear base line.
