Planing operation
002578
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface without the
blades making any contact. Switch on and wait until the blades attain full
speed. Then move the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool
at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be
2
easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane
somewhat downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The power planer
keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cut-
ting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should
reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
CAUTION:
•
Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before
attempting to perform inspection or maintenance.
Sharpening the planer blades
Always keep your blades sharp for the best performance possible. Use the
002591
sharpening holder to remove nicks and produce a fine edge.
First, loosen the two wing nuts on the holder and insert the blades (A) and (B),
002589
so that they contact the sides (C) and (D). Then tighten the wing nuts.
