planing. Planing will be 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 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.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
002580
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule).
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide (accessory).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the blade edge with the cutting line.

Install the edge fence on the tool and secure it with the washer and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw
(B)and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumb screw (B) securely.

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result.
CAUTION:
•The blade edge should be made to protrude outside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for shiplapping.

You may wish to add to the length of the fence by attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).

Chamfering

To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align one of three "V" grooves in the front base with the edge of the workpiece and plane it.
