OPERATION

Switch (Figure 2)
CAUTION: Check that the tool is not locked ON before connecting it to a power
supply. If the trigger switch is locked ON when the tool is connected to the power
supply, it will start immediately. Damage to your tool or personal injury may result.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface.
Lift the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
To start the planer, depress the trigger switch (A) in
figure 2. To turn the planer off, release the trigger
switch.
Lock-On Button (Figure 2)
The tool can be locked on for continuous use. To lock
the tool ON depress the trigger switch (A) and push
in the lock-on button (B). Hold the lock-on button in
as you gently release the trigger switch. The tool will
continue to run.
To turn the tool OFF from a locked-on position,
squeeze and release the trigger once.
Adjusting Planing Depth (Figure 3)
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or
removing or installing accessories.
Planing depth is infinitely variable from 0 to .5/64
(2.0 mm). To adjust the cutting depth, rotate the depth
adjustment knob/front handle (C) clockwise from the
"P" position. The cutting depth will increase from 0 to as
much as .079 in. (2.0 mm).
It is recom mended that test cuts be made in scrap
wood after each re-adjustment to make sure that
the desired amount of wood is being removed by the
planer. Several shallow passes (rather than one deep
one) will produce a smoother finish.
Planing (Figures 4, 5, 6)
WARNING: Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface.
Lift the tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the front handle (C) and the other
hand on the switch handle (D) as shown in figure 4. Place the front of the shoe (E) on the
surface to be planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not touching the surface.
Push down firmly on the front handle of the planer so
that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work
surface. Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the motor
to reach full speed before touching the planer blades to
the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain
downward pressure to keep the planer flat. Be
particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the
beginning and the end of the work surface
(Figures 4, 5, 6).
