MATERIAL REMOVAL SCALE
Your planer is equipped with a material removal scale,
which indicates the amount of wood being removed in a
planing operation. (Fig. 11 ) Ensure the workpiece is under
the material removal gauge label on the front of the tool. The
material removal gauge readout is to the right of this label.
TURRET STOP
Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (Fig. 12) for
repetitive planing of pre-set depths. Stops are set at 0", 1/4",
1/2" and 3/4". Use the 0" setting when planing between 1/8"
and 1/4". To set a planing depth using the turret stop:
• Turn the turret stop until the desired measurement
shows (Figure 12).
• Unlock the headlock lever, and turn the depth
adjustment lever clockwise until it contacts the turret
stop. Do not turn the handle past its stopping point.
• Plane the workpiece and measure the finished
thickness. Make fine adjustments if necessary.
The 3/4" turret stop can be adjusted for other planing
thicknesses. Adjusting the 3/4" turret stop does not affect
the other turret stop settings. To adjust the 3/4" stop for
other thicknesses:
• Unlock the head lock lever (Fig. 8) and turn the
adjustment handle counter-clockwise to raise the cutting
head (Fig. 9) fully.
• From the back of the tool, locate the turret adjustment
bolt shown in Fig. 12. This bolt is set for a 3/4" depth of
cut at the factory. Loosen the jam nut and adjust the
bolt up or down to reach the desired planing depth.
• Turn the depth adjustment lever clockwise until it
contacts the turret stop. Do not turn the handle past its
stopping point.
• Plane your workpiece and measure its finished
thickness. Make additional adjustments, if necessary,
following the steps above.
NOTE: For best results, make several passes, planing both
sides of the workpiece. See "Proper Planing Technique"
below.
On/Off Switch
To turn the planer on, flip up the switch, as shown in
Figure 13. The planer locks on automatically. To turn the
tool off, press the switch down. A hole is provided in the
switch for insertion of a padlock to lock off the planer
(Figure 13).
Proper Planing Technique
WARNING: Plane only wood that is free from foreign
objects, with no loose knots and as few tight knots as
possible. Do not plane wood that is severely warped,
twisted, knotted or bowed.
Your planer works best on lumber with at least one flat
surface. If both sides of your workpiece are rough, use a
jointer to level one surface.
