Attaching the Optional Dust Chute (Fig. F)
nOTE: The dust chute is to be attached only when
connecting the planer to a dust collection system. Remove
the dust chute if the planer is to be used alone to allow for
the dust to fall freely out of the planer exhaust.

shop vac because the small hose can clog. Only use with a
dust collection system using a 4" (100 mm) hose.

holes 28 on the planer housing.
2. Insert the provided thumb screws
