- Page 18 FIG A FIG B Note: Proper cleaning of tips and cutterhead is critical to achieving a smooth finish. Dirt or dust trapped between the cutter insert and cutterhead will slightly raise the cutter insert, and make noticeable marks on your work piece the next time you plane. THICKNESS SCALE ADJUSTMENT The thickness scale, located on the right of the planer, shows the thickness of the finished work piece.

Page 19: Operations
OPERATIONS NOTE: This operations section was designed to give instructions on the basic operations of this planer. However, it is in no way comprehensive of every planer operation. It is strongly recommended that you read books, trade magazines, or get formal training to maximize the potential of your planer while minimizing the risks. - Page 20 OPERATIONS (cont.) REPEAT CUT PRESET The REPEAT CUT preset located below the handwheel, on the right side of the planer, provides a simple way to preset the finished thickness of a work piece. The indicator can be set to various thicknesses.
- Page 21 OPERATIONS (cont.) GETTING PREPARED It is always a good idea to use a piece of scrap wood for your first planing attempt. Also, before each use of the planer, make it a habit of checking for loose fasteners, fittings or hardware. Turn the planer ON and allow it to reach full speed.

Page 22: Maintenance
OPERATIONS (cont.) AVOIDING SNIPE Snipe, gouging or depression of the board at the ends, can occur when the board is not properly supported. For work pieces longer than 4 ft, greater care must be taken to reduce the problem because the additional length of the work piece translates into more unsupported weight pulling down on the end of the board. - Page 23 MAINTENANCE (cont.) BRUSH REPLACEMENT Brush life will vary depending on the load placed on the motor. The brushes should be inspected every 10-15 hours of use. To inspect or replace: Remove the brush holders, one of which is shown at (A). The other is located in the same position on the rear of the motor assembly.
