CHAMFERING
See Figure 8, page 11.
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.
Clamp the work securely.
Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear
handle with your right hand.
Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut.
Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.
Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work,
using a slow, steady motion.
Apply downward pressure to keep the planer flat at the
beginning and the end of the work surface.
PLANING EDGES AND MAKING RABBET CUTS
The planer comes with an adjustable edge guide for precision
edge planing and rabbet cutting. Attach the edge guide to
either side of the planer for planing edges. Attach the edge
guide to the left side for making rabbet cuts.

See Figure 10, page 11.
Follow the directions in Operating the Planer. Hold the edge
guide firmly against the edge of the work surface.
ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR MAKING
RABBET CUTS
Lock the switch by placing the lock-off button in the center
position.
Remove the battery pack from the tool.
Attach the bracket to the left side of the planer using the
washer and knob bolt.
Attach the edge guide loosely to the bracket using the
knob nut, washer, and the carriage head bolt.
Adjust the edge guide to the desired width for the rabbet
cut.
Tighten the retaining knob securely.
MAKING RABBET CUTS
See Figure 11, page 11.
Follow the directions in the Operating the Planer section
earlier in this manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the
edge of the work surface.
The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth of the
cut and the number of passes made along the work surface.
The maximum depth of the rabbet cut is 1/2 in. Cuts should
be made in passes of 1/64 in. or less to reach the desired
depth. The width of the rabbet cut may be adjusted by
moving the edge guide.
MAINTENANCE
CHANGING BLADES
See Figures 12 - 14, pages 11 - 12.
The planer blades are reversible. When one edge becomes
dull, the blade can be reversed so that the other side can
be used.
Always replace or reverse blades in pairs. Do not attempt
to sharpen blades. If the blades in the planer show signs of
becoming dull, chipped, or damaged in any way, replace them.
When changing blades, use the recommended replacement
blades only (Part No. 671798001).
WARNING:
The blades are sharp. Use extreme caution when
replacing blades. Failure to heed this warning can result
in serious personal injury.
