Stanley FatMax FME630 Instruction Manual page 9

Parking Foot (Figure 13)
Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (P) that
automatically lowers into place when the tool is lifted
from the work surface. When planing, the parking
foot raises as the tool is pushed forward. When the
parking foot is lowered, the planer can set on the
work surface without the blade touching.
CAUTION: Do not lock the trigger switch on and
engage the parking foot. The vibration of the
running motor will cause the planer to move, possibly falling from the work piece.
Edge Chamfering (Figure 14)
Your planer has three precision machined chamfering
grooves 1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm (Q). They are
located in the front shoe and are used for planing
along a corner of the material (figure 14).
a. Adjust to desired depth of cut.
b. Place groove (Q) over edge of material.
c. Apply weight to front of shoe so groove is flat on
material edge.
d. Hold tool with both hands keeping pressure on
front handle.
Note: It's a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood
before doing finish work.
Drive Belt (Figure 15)
WARNING: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or
removing or installing accessories.
To Replace Belt
a. Loosen the three screws shown in figure 15
and remove the belt cover.
b. Remove old belt.
c. Place new belt over front pulley then rotate belt
clockwise while pushing belt onto back pulley.
d. Attach belt cover and securely tighten screws.
