DeWalt DW735X Speed Selection, Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System, Automatic Carriage Lock

English

3.Crank the carriage down on the material until the material removal bar engages the wood. You will see the red arrow begin to move up the scale indicating the amount of material to be removed with the carriage at that height.

4.Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of cut appears on the gauge.

5.Pull the material out from under the carriage.

6.Turn the unit on and feed your material into the cutter head. NOTE: Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for various widths of material recommended on the material removal gauge.

WARNING: DO NOT SWITCH THE UNIT ON WITH THE MATERIAL POSITIONED UNDER THE CARRIAGE. SERIOUS INJURY COULD RESULT.

Speed Selection

NOTE: ONLY SWITCH SPEEDS WHEN THE PLANER IS RUNNING.

Your planer has the ability to feed material	P
at two different speeds. The two-speed
feature (P) was designed to improve
efficiency when planing and to provide the
best possible surface finish to a variety of
materials.

To remove material thickness more quickly, set the unit at speed “2”. This setting delivers 96 cuts per inch to the material.

For finishing, set the unit to speed “1”. Speed “1” is ideal for ensuring the finest finish on the last pass before your final thickness is achieved. NOTE: When planing particularly hard or figured species of wood, speed “1” is recommended. The slower feed rate will reduce knife wear and tear-out by delivering 179 cuts per inch to the material.

Fan-Assisted Chip Ejection System

Your planer is equipped with a fan-assisted chip ejection system to aid in exhausting chips from the unit. The fan-assisted chip ejection system will work in conjunction with independent dust collection systems.

NOTE: It is not recommended that a shop vac be connected to the DW735. The capacity of most vacs does not support the volume of chips ejected during planing. The vacuum hose may clog stopping the flow of chips.

See the Troubleshooting Guide, page 14, for additional information.

Automatic Carriage Lock

There is no manual carriage lock on your planer. A device that automatically minimizes the movement that causes snipe during planing is designed into the four threaded posts.

Turret Stop

Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (Q) for repetitive planing at pre-set depths. Stops are set Q at 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", 1", and 1-1/4".

TO SET THE MINIMUM DEPTH TO WHICH

THE CARRIAGE CAN TRAVEL WITH THE

TURRET STOP

1. Be sure the carriage is set above 1-1/4" before trying to set the turret stop.

2.Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the desired thickness setting aligns with the red indicator then lower the carriage.

3.Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the correct final thickness is achieved.

NOTE: DO NOT USE FORCE TO CRANK THE CARRIAGE BELOW THE LEVEL THAT THE TURRET STOP INDICATES. PERMANENT
