HOW to USE

1.Planing depth (cutting volume) may be adjusted as desired by simply turning the knob (front grip) on the front of the power planer.

2.To start the tool, simply pull the trigger.

Release the trigger to stop. For contin- uous operation, just pull the trigger and then push in the lock button with your thumb. To stop the tool from the lock position, just pull the trigger again and release it.

3.After you switch on the tool by pulling the trigger, wait until the planer is running a t top speed before bringing it into contact with the wood. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill.

4.Starting & FinishingPlaning Work

First, rest the tool front shoe flat upon the work surface. Switch on, then move the planer gently forward. Appy pres- sure on front of tool a t start of planing,

and a t the back a t the end of planing. (See photo)

5.For Fine Finishes

The speed and volume of planing determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps cutting a t a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the volume is upped, while for a good finish you should but less and advance the tool more slowly.
