Rabbeting
Step 1:Install FENCE as described above
Step 2:Determine the width of the desired rabbet.
Step 3:Using a ruler or other suitable device, set the fence so that only the necessary amount of
the cutterhead will plane the stock.
Step 4:Set the DEPTH KNOB to the desired cutting depth.
Chamfering
Chamfering is a delicate, free-hand operation. Practice on old stock before using on valuable
workpieces. The FENCE must be removed when chamfering.
Step 1:The FRONT FOOT (#32) as a V-groove to aid in this operation. Each side of the
V-groove must rest against the sides of the corner to be chamfered. In other words, the
corner of the stock and the V-groove must fit together.
Step 2:Do not allow cutterhead to engage stock until it has reached full speed.
Step 3:Engage motor and move planer slowly forward so that the cutterhead begins to plane.
Use slightly more pressure on both handles, move the planer very slowly, and keep a
steady hand.
