BLADE ALIGNMENT
To ensure an even cut, it is important that the
blade is adjusted so that it aligns with the
outside edge of the front and rear shoes. This
alignment can be done as follows: place a
straight edge or a piece of wood along the
outside surface of the front shoe and rear

hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
To turn tool "ON": depress the "Lock-Off"
release button from either side and squeeze
the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF": release the trigger
switch and it will return to "OFF" position
automatically.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch on
and off while tool and drum are held against
a workpiece.
PLANING ACTION
Check that the workpiece is held in place
securely on your work surface, and standing
comfortably, hold the planer firmly with both
hands. With the planer fully adjusted, place
the front shoe on the workpiece, (be certain

contact the straight edge or wood (Fig. 7).
Make sure the blade sits correctly in the

You may then tighten the clamping screws
which secure the blade and your planer is

work) and start the planer as described earlier
(Fig. 9). With pressure on the front shoe, and
the fence against the side of the work (to
control the width or angle,) feed the planer
steadily until the rear shoe fully engages the
workpiece. Now gradually transfer pressure to
the rear shoe, and continue planing to the end
of the cut (Fig. 10).
FIG. 10
Feed the planer at a uniform and reasonable
rate, which does not put excessive strain on
the motor or blades, (do not pull the planer
back over the surface already cut.) Use
progressive cuts until you are near the
desired depth, and then re-adjust to a light
cut for the final pass to obtain a good surface
finish.
The motor may stall if

damage to the tool if the motor labors.
