SECTION 1: SAFETY General Safety Rules For your own safety, please read and understand this instruction manual before installing and operating the tool. Owner’s Manual: Read and understand this owner’s manual before using the tool. Handle With Care: Hand tools include sharp blades that will cause serious injury if handled improperly.
SECTION 3: OPERATION First Use Your router plane ships with a coating of rust-inhibiting oil to ensure it arrives to you in good condition, but this must be removed prior to use. Remove the blade clamp and use a rag to wipe all components to remove all but the lightest coating of oil.

Using the Router Plane When creating a rebate or housing, the side walls must be established before using the router plane. This can be accomplished either with a chisel, saw, or marking knife depending on the circumstances. If using a chisel or marking knife, you may need to work in stages - cutting the side walls, removing the waste to that depth.
SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE Maintenance After each use, disassemble the plane and clean off accumulated dirt, • grease, resin and rust, especially from the threads and blade bed. An old toothbrush is ideal for this. If the router plane is stored in damp or humid conditions or when overnight •...
SECTION 5: TROUBLESHOOTING Ensure the blade is sharp The first step of any troubleshooting is to ensure that the blade is sharp. If sharpening the blade does not resolve the issue please see below for further suggestions. Tear-out Tear-out occurs when the wood splits ahead of the blade. The blade then acts as a wedge and removes chunks rather than shavings.
