OPERATION
WARNING:
Your planer should never be connected to power supply
when you are assembling parts, making adjustments,
changing belts or blades, when cleaning, or when not in
use. Disconnecting your planer will prevent accidental
starting that could cause serious injury.
PREPARING
FOR
OPERATION
See Figure 1.
For ease of operation your planer has both a front handle and
a rear handle. This provides for two-hand operation, which is
necessary in order to maintain proper control of your planer
and keep both hands clear of the blades and cutting area.
When operating your planer always use both hands holding

your right hand as shown in figure 2. In this position, your
planer is easier to handle and you are clear of the chip
exhaust.

restricts air flow and can cause
motor overheating.
Keep cord away from cutting area. ALWAYS place the cord
