Parking rest (fig. H)
Your planer is equipped with a parking rest (21) that automati- cally lowers into place when the tool is lifted from the work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises as the tool is pushed forward. When the parking foot is lowered, the planer can set on the work surface without the blade touching.
Hints for optimum use
uMove the tool along the grain of the wood.
uIf the grain is cross or curly, or if the workpiece material is a hard type of wood, adjust the depth of cut to take only a very thin shaving at each pass and take several passes to achieve the desired result.
uTo keep the tool in a straight line, press down the front of the tool at the start, and press down the back of the tool at the end of the cutting stroke.

Brushes should be regularly inspected for wear.
uRemove brush cap (22). The brushes should slide freely in brush box. If brushes are worn down to .3" (8mm) they should be replaced.
