uum cleaner to your tool.

tighten screws to secure them.

Planing operation
003886
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.
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 cutting, 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.

When performing repeated cuts, the use of the front roller
enables quick and effortless return of the tool toward an
1
operator by raising the back end of the tool so that the tool
blades do not contact a workpiece and then sliding tool on
the front roller.
