ADJUSTING THE PLANNING DEPTH
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power supply
before making adjustments or installing or removing
blades.
1. Rotate the depth adjustment knob (3) clockwise for
a deeper cut and anti-clockwise for a shallower cut.
(Fig. 8)
2. The numbers on the ring under the depth adjustment
knob indicate the depth of cut. For example when "2"
is next to the pointer on the front of the planer, the
depth of cut is approximately 2 mm.
3. If it is necessary to accurately determine the depth of
cut, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the differ-
ence in thickness and adjust the setting if necessary.
WARNING: Always ensure that the number on
the ring is at the "0" position when the tool is not in use;
at this position, the blade can not cut the workpiece.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
WARNING: Before plugging the machine into
the power point always check that the trigger switch (1)
and lock-off button (2) work properly.
1. Plug in the machine, push in the lock-off button (2) and
pull the trigger switch (1). (Fig. 9)
2. To stop the tool, simply release the trigger switch (1).
3. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to oper-
ate both the lock-off button (2) and the trigger switch
(1). This is an important safety feature that helps pre-
vent accidental operation of the planer.
PLANING
1. Rest the front base (12) flat on the workpiece surface
without the blades making any contact with the work-
piece.
2. Switch on the tool and wait for the blades to reach full
speed.
3. Move the tool gently forward, applying pressure on the
front of the tool, using your hand on the secondary
handle (5) at the start of planing and pressure at the
rear of the tool, using your hand on the main handle (4)
towards the end of the planing stroke.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece
without tilting it downwards.
NOTE. Planing is easier if you incline the workpiece
slightly away from you so that you plane "downhill".
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine
the quality of the finish. For rough cutting, you can
increase the depth of cut, however to achieve a good
finish you will need to reduce the depth of cut and ad-
vance the tool more slowly.
Original instructions
WARNING: Moving the machine too fast may
cause a poor quality of cut and can damage the blades
or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may burn
or mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material
being cut and the depth of the cut.
Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the
correct feed rate and the cut dimensions.
WARNING: Always use two hands to hold the
planer. Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the
bench.
CHAMFERING AND REBATING
1. To make a chamfered or rebate cut as shown in
(Fig. 10). First align one of the three "V" grooves
(Fig. 11) in the front base (12) of the planer with the
corner edge of the workpiece.
2. Run the planer along the corner edge.
NOTE.
(Fig. 10) – (A) Rebated edge
(B) Chamfered edge.
(Fig. 11) – Aligning the "V" groove.
PARALLEL FENCE GUIDE
WARNING: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power supply
before making adjustments or installing or removing
blades.
1. To fit the parallel fence guide (14), remove the parallel
fence attachment knob (7) and slide the fence guide
on to the planer (Fig. 12, 13).
NOTE. Make sure that the two notches in the fixing plate
of the fence locate over the two lugs on the planer body.
2. Replace the fence attachment knob (7) and tighten it
firmly (Fig. 14).
3. Loosen the wing nut securing the fence slide, position
the slide to the desired rebating width and re-tighten
the wing nut.
4. The numbers on the fence indicate the rebating width.
When "60" is next to the slide, the rebating width is
approximately 60 mm.
5. If it is necessary to rebate to a precise width, plane
a scrap piece of wood, measure the rebate distance
and adjust the setting if necessary (Fig. 15).
SHAVINGS EXTRACTION
1. Depending on which side of the planer you wish the
chips to flow, connect the dust bag (16) to the appro-
priate dust/chip extraction port (6).
2. The dust bag (16) can be installed to allow shavings to
flow either to the left or to the right of the workpiece.
3. Set the extraction guide switch (8) to point towards the
extraction port (6) that is to be used (Fig. 16,17).
