Adjusting depth of cut
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool.
Switch action
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it.

CAUTION :
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released.
Planing operation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface without the blades mak- ing 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 a t the start of planing, and a t the back a t the end of 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 a t 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.
