Electrical Connection
Be sure your power supply agrees with the nameplate marking.
Volts, 50/60 Hz or "AC only" means your planer must be operated
only with alternating current and never with direct current. Voltage
decrease of more than 10% will cause loss of power and over-
heating. All D
WALT tools are factory tested, if this tool does not
E
operate, check the power supply.
Unpacking Your Planer
Check the contents of your planer carton to make sure that you
have received all parts. In addition to this instruction manual, the
carton should contain:
• 1 Planer
• 1 Depth adjustment crank handle
• 1 Round Dust Port
• 1 Long, Flat Dust Port
• 1 T-wrench (located in
• 1 Allen screw for
the top cover of the unit)
Transporting the Planer
WARNING: For your own safety, it is
recommended that two people carry this
machine or serious injury could result.
When moving your planer, carry it either
by the side carrying handles (A) or by the
handles at the base of the planer (B). When
transporting or storing the planer, use the
cord wrap located in the back of the tool (C)
to keep the cord in place.
Bench Mounting
To facilitate bench mounting, two different
sized holes (D) are provided on the four cor-

ners of your planer. If mounting the planer with bolts, use the larg-
er holes. If mounting the planer with nails or screws, use the small-
er holes. It is not necessary to use both sets of holes.
Always mount your planer firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
the tool's portability, it can be mounted to a piece of 1/2" (12.7mm)
or thicker plywood which can then be clamped to your work support
or moved to other job sites and reclamped.
NOTE: If you elect to mount your planer onto a piece of plywood,
make sure that the mounting screws don't protrude from the bottom
of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the work support.
CAUTION: The mounting surface should not be warped or
otherwise uneven.
