injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start‑up can cause injury.

CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with
great care.
This planer uses 82 mm reversible carbide blades. When
replacing the blade, use 82 mm blades. Use D
replacement blade Part No. N455909. Other sizes may degrade
performance or cause damage to the planer.

cost from your local DeWalt authorised service centre.
Kickstand (Fig. I)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
lowers when the tool is lifted from the work surface allowing the
planer to set on the work surface without the blade touching it.
When planing, the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward
through the material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing
work, it can be stored and locked out of the way.

WARNING: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly
extended when setting the planer on a work surface.
Edge Chamfering (Fig. J)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering groove
the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. The width
of the groove is 4.5 to 8 mm. It's a good idea to try a piece of
scrap wood before doing finish work.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, K1, K2)
Your planer has a built-in AirLock connection (Fig. K1,
which allows either a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be
connected. The built-in outlet utilizes the D
connection system making it compatible with the D
dust extractor.
To Attach the Dust Bag
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar onto the
12
AirLock connection as shown in Figure K.
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag by sliding it
off the AirLock connection
2. Twist the chip deflector (Fig. K2,
bag to separate.
3. Gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
