DeWalt DW680 Guide D'utilisation page 2

CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface. Lift the
tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
To start the planer depress the trigger switch (A). To turn the planer off, release the trigger
switch.
LOCK-ON BUTTON
The tool can be locked on for continuous use. To lock the tool ON depress the trigger switch (A)
and push in the lock-on button (B). Hold the lock-on button in as you gently release the trigger
switch. The tool will continue to run.
To turn the tool OFF from a locked-on position, squeeze and release the trigger once.
Adjusting Planing Depth (Figure 1)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or
installing accessories.
Planing depth is infinitely variable from 0 to .098" (2.5 mm). To adjust the cutting depth, rotate the
depth adjustment knob/front handle (C) clockwise from the "0" position. Each click of the adjust-
ment knob represents approximately 0.1mm of depth. The cutting depth will increase from 0 to as
much as .098".
It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood after each re-adjustment to make sure
that the desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer. Several shallow passes (rather
than one deep one) will produce a smoother finish.
Planing (Figures 2, 3, 4)
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface. Lift the
tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the front handle (C) and the other hand
on the switch handle (D) as shown in Figure 2. Place the front of the shoe (E) on the surface to
be planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not touching the surface. Push down firm-
ly on the front handle of the planer so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work sur-
face. Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the motor to reach full speed before touching the
planer blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure to keep the planer flat. Be
particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface
(Figures 2, 3, 4).
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap wood to the end of the piece
you are planing. Don't stop planing until the cutting blades of the planer are past your work piece
and into the scrap material.
Rabbet Fence (Figures 5, 6)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or
installing accessories.
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool to the work surface. Lift the
tool from the work surface before turning the tool off.
The rabbet fence can be installed on either side of your planer. The planer can make rabbet cuts
up to .5" (12mm).
TO INSTALL RABBET FENCE
1. Loosen the rabbet fence adjustment knob (G).
2. Slide the crossbar on the rabbet fence (F) into the hole near the front of the planer as shown
in Figure 5.
3. Securely tighten rabbet fence adjustment knob (G).
3. The rabbet fence should be below the planer when installed correctly as shown in Figure 5.
TO MAKE A RABBET CUT
1. Turn the rabbet fence adjustment knob (G) to adjust the desired width of cut.
2. Make several cuts until the desired depth is reached.
NOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most rabbet applications.
To Change Blades (Figures 7, 8, 9, 10)
CAUTION: Turn off and unplug the tool before making any adjustments or removing or
installing accessories.
NOTE: The DW680 has two blades, one on each side of the blade drum, as shown in Figure 7.
Any operation or adjustment should be made to both blades.
REVERSIBLE CARBIDE BLADES
1. To Remove Blade from Planer
a. Loosen and remove the three Allen head screws (J) with the 5mm Allen wrench provided.
Remove the drum cover (K) from the drum (Q).
b. Remove the blade carrier/guide bar assembly. Carefully remove the carbide blade (I).
2. To Adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate (provided with tool)
a. Cautiously place the carbide blade on the gauge plate (N) with the grooved side of the
carbide blade facing up. Either edge of the reversible carbide blade can be set flush
against the gauge plate inside wall (O).
b. Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade so that the rib on the blade car-
rier (L) fits into the groove on the carbide blade (I). The heel of the blade carrier (M) will
overlap the end of the gauge plate (N).
c. Loosen the two Allen screws (P) with the 2.5mm Allen wrench provided.
d. Simultaneously push the blade carrier (L) and the guide bar (M) into the gauge plate
inside wall (O), making sure that the carbide blade (I) is held firmly against the gauge plate
inside wall (O) and securely tighten the two Allen screws (P).
3. To Reinstall Blade
a. Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly from the gauge plate (N) and
place the heel of the guide bar (M) into the groove on the drum (Q).
b. Place the drum cover (K) over the blade carrier/guide bar assembly. Loosely screw the
three Allen screws (J) into the drum (Q) so that there is a small gap between the drum
and the blade carrier (L).
c. Slide the carbide blade between the drum (Q) and the blade carrier (L) so that the rib on
the blade carrier sets into the groove in the blade.
d. Center the carbide blade (I) under the blade carrier (L) making sure the blade is clear of
the tool housing on both sides.
e. Securely tighten the three Allen screws (J) to the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
HIGH SPEED STEEL BLADES
1. To Remove Blade from Planer
a. Loosen and remove the three Allen head screws (J) with the 5mm Allen wrench provided.
Remove the drum cover (K) from the drum (Q).
b. Cautiously remove the guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly.
2. To Adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate (provided with tool)
a. Place the guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly on the gauge plate (N) with the cut-
ting edge of the high speed steel blade flush against the gauge plate inside wall (O). The
heel of the guide bar (M) will overlap the end of the gauge plate (N).
b. Loosen the two Allen screws (P) with the 2.5mm Allen wrench provided.
c. Simultaneously push the high speed steel blade (R) and the guide bar (M) into the gauge
plate inside wall (O), making sure that the blade is held firmly against the gauge plate
inside wall (O) and securely tighten Allen screws (P).
3. To Reinstall Blade
a. Cautiously remove the adjusted guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly from the
gauge plate (N) and place the heel of the guide bar (M) into the groove in the drum (Q).
b. Set the drum cover (K) over the adjusted guide bar/high speed steel blade assembly and
securely tighten the three Allen screws (J) to the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
Parking Foot (Figure 11)
Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (S) that automatically lowers into place when the tool
is lifted from the work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises as the tool is pushed for-
ward. When the parking foot is lowered, the planer can set on the work surface without the blade
touching.
CAUTION: Do not lock the trigger switch on and engage the parking foot. The vibration of the
running motor will cause the planer to move, possibly falling from the work piece.
Edge Chamfering (Figure 12)
Your planer has three precision machined chamfering grooves (T) in the front shoe for planing
along a corner of the wood (Fig. 12). The width of the grooves are 1.5mm, 2mm, and 2.5mm.
It's a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood before doing finish work.
