OPERATION

PLANING

See Figure 7.

Follow these steps to plane.

1.Clamp the work securely.

2.Adjust the planing depth. Refer to “Adjusting the Plan- ing Depth” earlier in this manual.

3.Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand.

WARNING:

Always use two hands on the tool for any operation; this assures that you maintain control and avoid risk of serious personal injury. Always properly support and clamp the work so that both hands are free to control the planer.

4.Place the front shoe on the edge of work to be planed.

NOTE: Make sure the blades are not touching the work.

5.Apply pressure to the front handle so that the front shoe is completely flat on the work.

6.Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.

7.Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work, using a slow, steady motion.

8.Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as you reach the end of the planed cut. This helps keep the rear section of the planer base in contact with the work and prevents the front of the planer from gouging the cut.

WARNING:

Be careful to avoid hitting nails during planing operation; this action could nick, crack, or damage blades.

NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of blades on hand. As soon as the blades in your planer show signs of becoming dull, replace them. The blades in your planer are reversible and can be reversed until both sides become dull.

CHAMFERING

See Figure 8.

The planer is designed with a chamfering groove in the front shoe to chamfer edges of boards as shown. Before making a cut on good lumber, practice cutting on scrap lumber to determine the amount to be removed.

Follow these steps to chamfer.

1. Clamp the work securely.

2.Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand.

3.Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut.

4.Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.

5.Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work, using a slow, steady motion.

6.Apply downward pressure to keep your planer flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface.
