OPERATION
WARNING:
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields when operating your planer. Failure to do socould
result in dust, shavings, loose particles or foreign objects
being thrown into your eyes, causing possible serious
injury.
KNOW YOUR PLANER
Before attempting to use your planer, familiarize
yourself
with all operating features
and safety requirements. See
Figure 1.
Your planer is compact, lightweight, and equipped with a
depth adjusting knob located at the front of your unit.
When used properly, your planer should take the guesswork
out of planing, sizing, or beveling of doors, windows, shut-
ters, drawer slides, and other work. However, as with any
powerful, high-speed tool, your planer requires accurate set-
ups and handling. Practice cutting on scrap lumber before
attempting to plane finished stock. In order to turn out the
quality work for which your tool has been designed, the
importance of the need for you to practice cannot be over-
emphasized.
SWITCH
To turn your planer ON, depress switch trigger. Release
switch trigger to turn your planer OFF. See Figure 1.
WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your planer until
the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so could
result in possible serious personal injury.
i
ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
Your planer has a precision built electric motor. It should be
connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60 Hz, AC
only (normal household current). Do not operate this tool
on direct current (DC). A voltage drop of more than 10
pement will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If your tool does not operate when plugged into
an outlet, double-check the power supply.
, WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your planer to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a second
is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
I
CHIP EXHAUST
A chip exhaust has been provided on the exhaust port ofyour
planer. The chute on the chip exhaust can be rotated 90 ° with
positive stops at 0 °, 30 °, 60 ° and 90 ° for deflecting wood
chips away from the operator and workpiece.
