PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
Your electric tool is precision built and manufactured t o satisfy the highest standards. For maximum performance, long tool life, and your safety, follow these instructions carefully.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS INJURY t o the user - as well as damage to the tool. I f in doubt, DO NOT PLUG I N THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful t o the motor.
HOW TO USE
1i . Planiqg 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 trigqer_ _ to stop. Models with a lock button GS the handle may be run continuously without keeping your fin- ger on the trigger. To lock the trlgqer in the ON position, first pull the trigger and then depress the lock button on the handle with your thumb. To stop the
tool from the lock position, just pull the r ?riggeragain and release it.

3.After you switch on the tool by pulling the trigger, h a i t 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 & Finishing Planing Work
First, rest the tool front shoe flat upon the work surface. Switch on, then move the planer gently forward. Apply pres- sure to tool as indicated (photo), a t start and end of planing.

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 vol- ume is upped, while for a good finish you should cut less and advance the tool more slowly.
