BASIC PLANER OPERATIONS
WARNING
1. Allow the motor to come up to full speed before
starting cut.
2. Always feed the work in the direction that allows the
planer blades to cut with the grain. Feeding against
the grain will cause the blades to lift fibres from the
work surface causing a fuzzy appearance.
3. Remove all foreign objects from the workpiece. Do
not plane wood that is severely knotted or warped.

4. The planer works best with at least one flat surface.
Place the flat surface downward on the table.
5. Do not plane more than 3 mm in one pass.
6. Proper depth of cut is judged by the width of the
board and hardness of the board.
7. Make sure long boards are supported level with
table at front and rear of the planer. Use extension
roller stand if necessary.
8. Do not receive the board with your hands toward
inside of the rear extension table.
9. If you need cutting to a specific height (19mm,
6mm, 12mm). Move the right side of the height level
to the desired position. (Fig. L)
1. Pull out the cutterhead lock lever (1). (Fig. J)
2. Unlock the cutterhead.
3. Lower the cutterhead until it touches the workpiece.
4. Set the cutting depth dial to "3mm" mark.
5. Raise the cutterhead a little and remove the
workpiece.
6. Adjust the depth of cut to the desired finished
thickness of the board.
7. Lock the cutterhead.
8. Push in the cutterhead lock lever (1). (Fig. K)
9. Start board under the infeed roller so it travels
straight. When infeed roller takes hold, release
board and stand aside (out of the way of any
possible kickback).
