Depth Adjustment Crank
Turning the crank clockwise lowers the cutterhead. Turning
the crank counterclockwise raises the cutterhead.
Turret Stop (Fig. H)
Your planer is equipped with a turret stop
multiple boards to the same pre-set depth. Stops are set at
1/8" (3 mm), 1/4" (6.5 mm), 1/2" (12.7 mm), 3/4" (19 mm),
1" (25.5 mm), and 1–1/4" (32 mm).

To Set the Minimum Depth to Which the
Carriage can Travel with the Turret Stop
1. Be sure the carriage is set above 1–1/4" (32 mm) before
trying to set the turret stop.
2. Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the
desired thickness setting aligns with the red indicator,
then lower the carriage.
3. Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the
correct final thickness is achieved.
nOTE: Do not use force to crank the carriage below
the level that the turret stop indicates. Permanent
damage to the height adjust ment system on your
planer will result.
OPERATION
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.

Speed Selection (Fig. J)
nOTE: Only switch speeds when the planer is running.
Your planer has the ability to feed material at two different
speeds. The two-speed feature
improve efficiency when planing and to provide the best
possible surface finish to a variety of materials.

To remove material thickness more quickly, set the unit
at speed "2". This setting delivers 96 cuts per inch to
the material.
For finishing, set the unit to speed "1". Speed "1" is ideal for
ensuring the finest finish on the last pass before your final
thickness is achieved.
nOTE: When planing particularly hard or figured species of
wood, speed "1" is recommended. The slower feed rate will
reduce knife wear and tear-out by delivering 179 cuts per
inch to the material.
Material Removal Gauge (Fig. K)
Your planer is equipped with a material removal
gauge
15
. It is used to indicate the amount of wood that
will be removed in one pass with the carriage set at its
current height.

To Use the Material Removal Gauge
1. Slide approximately 3" (75 mm) of your ma terial under
the middle of the carriage.
2. Be sure the wood is lying flat against the base of the
planer. If the material is inserted at an angle, the reading
may be inaccurate.
3. Crank the carriage down on the ma terial until the
material removal bar engages the wood. You will see
the red arrow begin to move up the scale indicating the
amount of material to be removed with the carriage at
that height.
4. Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of cut
appears on the gauge.
5. Pull the material out from under the carriage.
6. Turn the unit on and feed your material into
the cutterhead.
nOTE: Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for
various widths of material recommended on the material
removal gauge.
