Guide Adjustment
The Guide (64) can be used to adjust the width
of cut, support the Planer, and keep the Planer
from drifting away from the cut line (i.e., the edge
of a door). The Guide may be attached either to
the right side of the Planer or on its left side.

Figure H
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard or
exposing the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement while working.
General Operating Instructions
1. Make sure that the Trigger is in the off
position, then plug in the tool.
2. While standing to the side of the workpiece, hold the
Planer firmly with one hand on the handle portion
of the Housing and the other hand on the Depth
Knob. Do not turn the Depth Knob during use.
3. Set the Planer's Front Base Plate on the front edge
of the workpiece. Then, depress the Safety Lock
Button and squeeze the Trigger to start the Planer.
WARNING! Confirm that both Knives are properly
aligned and that both Knives are secured fully. Start
tool off of workpiece and allow tool to reach full speed.
• If tool vibrates or becomes noisy SWITCH
IT OFF IMMEDIATELY, unplug it and allow
it to come to a complete stop. Adjust and
tighten the Knives to correct imbalance.
• If vibration or noise persists, do not use tool until
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
IMpORTANT: Do not start to move the Planer across
the workpiece until the Knives are spinning at full speed.

Workpiece
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
1. Position the Planer on the
workpiece that is to be cut.
2. Loosen the Guide Lock Knob (47)
at the front of the Planer.
3. Insert the Guide into the mounting hole
located on either side toward the front of the
Planer Housing. Slide the Guide in until
it contacts the edge of the workpiece.
4. Secure the Guide in place by
tightening the Guide Lock Knob.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility lines,
nearby that will present a hazard while working.
4. While placing pressure on the Front Base Plate
to control the depth of cut and the Guide (if used)
to control the width of cut, feed the Planer slowly
until the Rear Base Plate contacts the workpiece.
Then, transfer pressure to the Rear Base Plate, and
continue planing slowly to the end of the cut. Do not
pull the Planer back over the surface already cut.
5. If necessary, repeat Step #4, using progressively
deeper cuts until you near the desired depth.
6. Adjust the Depth Adjustment Knob to
make a light cut for the final pass to help
give the workpiece a cleaner finish.
NOTE: The Planer's motor may stall if the tool
is improperly used. If the motor begins to stall,
reduce the feed speed at which you are making
the cut and/or reduce the depth of the cut.
7. When finished planing, carefully lift the planer
from the workpiece and release the Trigger.
Wait until the Planer's Knife Drum comes to a
complete stop. Then unplug the Planer and turn
the Depth Adjustment Knob to the "0" setting.
8. Clean, then store the tool indoors
out of children's reach.
