5.Set the Adjustable Base Plate (36) of the Planer on the front edge of the wood stock. Then, depress the Safety Switch (51) and squeeze the Trigger (48) to start the Planer. IMPORTANT: Do not start to move planer across workpiece until Knives are spinning at full speed.
6.While placing pressure on the Adjustable Base Plate (36) to control the depth of cut, and , if used, pressing the Fence (37) against the workpiece to control the width of cut, feed the Planer slowly until the Rear Base Plate (43) contacts the wood stock. Then, transfer pressure to the Rear Base Plate, and continue planing slowly to the end of the cut. Do not pull the Planer backwards over the surface already cut.
7.If necessary, repeat Step #6, using progressively deeper cuts until you near the desired depth.
8.Adjust the Depth Adjustment Knob (24) to make a light cut for the final pass to help the workpiece to have a cleaner finish.
9.NOTE: The Planer’s Motor may stall if the tool is improperly used (pressed forward too quickly at too deep a planing depth). If the Motor begins to stall, reduce the speed at which you are making the cut and/or reduce the depth of the cut.
10.When finished planing, carefully lift the planer from the workpiece and release the Trigger (48). Wait until Planer knife comes to a complete stop. Then unplug the Planer and turn the Depth Adjustment Knob (24) to the P (park) setting. Store in a safe, clean, dry location.
Rabbeting
1. Rabbeting is creating a step on the edge of a workpiece. Rabbeting is typically used in door and window jambs. When
rabbeting, the Rabbet Depth Gauge (17) will contact the unplaned portion of the workpiece and help you avoid planing deeper than needed.
2.The Rabbet Depth Gauge needs to be
