PLANING PROCEDURES
1. Adjusting the cutter depth
Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the arrow
in Fig. 3 (clockwise), until the triangular mark is
aligned with the desired cutting depth on the scale.
An interval between graduations on the scale
corresponds to 1/256"(0.1mm) in cutting depth. The
cutting depth can be adjusted within a range of 0 -
3/32"(0 - 2.6mm).

2. Surface cutting
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large
cutting depth and at a suitable speed so that
shavings are smoothly ejected from the machine.
To ensure a smoothly finished surface, finish cutting
should be accomplished at small cutting depth and
at low speed.
3. Beginning and ending the cutting operation
As shown in Fig. 4, place the front base of the planer
on the workpiece and support the planer
horizontally. Turn ON the power switch, and slowly
operate the planer toward the leading edge of the
workpiece. Firmly depress the front half of the planer
at the first stage of cutting and, as shown in Fig. 5,
depress the rear half of the planer at the end of the
cuning operation.
The planer must always be kept flat throughout the
entire cutting operation.

4. Precaution after finishing the planing operation
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
finishing the planing operation, ensure that the
cutting blades (base) of the planer do not contact or
come too near your body. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury.
5. Stand
Lift the back of the planer to extend the foot from
the base. Having the stand extended when you put
the planer down prevents contact between the blade
and the material.
