manual abstract
Adjust the other Knife Adjustment Set Screw until the Knife just touches the straightedge on that side also. Turn the three Knife Holder Bolts firmly in the direction shown to the upper left to 11. secure the knife holder in place. Rotate the Drum 180° and change and adjust the other knife at the same time ac12. cording to the steps above. IMPORTANT!13. Carefully double check that the Knives and Knife Holders are secure and that the Knives are level before use. Note: If a knife is adjusted to cut farther than the Rear Base Plate (43) then it may create burned spots on the wood. If a knife is adjusted to not cut deeply enough, then the planer will not be able to travel smoothly across the wood. Features and Controls Dust Bag (46) Safety Switch (51) Wrench Handle (47) Fence (37) Trigger (48) Depth Adjustment Knob (24) Exhaust Direction Lever (55) Rabbet Depth Guide (17) (Hidden from view) 1. Trigger and Safety Switch: As a safety feature, the Safety Switch (51) must be pushed to one side to allow the Trigger (48) to operate. Wrench Handle storage: 2. The Left Housing (3) has a slot to allow storage of the Wrench Handle (47) and Wrench (49). Fence: 3. The Fence (37) can be adjusted to control the width of the cut from the edge of the workpiece. The Fence can only be installed on the Left Housing. It is held in place by the Locking Knob (18). To adjust: Loosen the Wing Nut (38), slide the Fence (37) to the desired setting. Retighten the Wing Nut after adjustment. Note: The Bolt (40) needs to be inserted through the Fence from the top down with the Washer (39) underneath the fence, otherwise the flats on the Bolt will not properly engage the Fence Bracket (41). The markings on the Fence are intended as general guidelines only. For accurate measurements, verify the position of the Fence using a measuring tool after tightening. Dust Bag and Exhaust Direction Lever: 4. The Exhaust Direction Lever (55) controls the dust port that the dust blows out of. Turn it to the right to direct the exhaust right, and left to direct the exhaust left. Do not position the Lever between settings, the dust will come out of both ports. Connect either the Dust Bag (46) or a different dust collection system (not included) to the dust port that the exhaust is being directed to. Rabbet Depth Guide: 5. This is used to set the final cut depth when cutting a rabbet. Set the depth gauge to the desired depth, and then use the Fence to determine the desired width. You may wish to double-check the gauge’s accuracy with a ruler (sold separately). The Rabbet Depth Guide (17) should only be attached to the Right Housing (16). The Rabbet Depth Guide rests on the unplaned surface of the wood and helps to maintain an even, consistent depth. Depth Adjustment Knob and Depth Knob Scale: 6. The Depth Adjustment Knob (24) is used to control the amount of material that is removed in one pass. Turn the Knob so that the triangle on the Front Cover (29) lines up with the desired setting on the Depth Knob Scale (25). The scale has metric measurements on top (from 0 - 2 mm) and SAE measurements on the bottom (from 0 - 5/64”). The knob should be turned back past the 0 marking to the P (park) after the planer is used. This will push the knife slightly away from the surface the planer is resting on and will help prevent the planer from lurching forward if it is accidentally turned on. Operation Thickness Planing WARNING! Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and a NIOSH-approved dust mask or respirator along with heavy-duty work gloves when operating this tool. Make sure the Trigger (48) is released and the Planer is unplugged before making any adjustments to Planer or planer attachments. Support the workpiece using bench mounted clamps or a vise, or another safe, 1. practical way. Adjust the planer’s Depth Adjustment Knob (24) and Fence (37) to the desired set2. tings. While keeping fingers well away from both Trigger (48) and knife opening, connect 3. power cord to grounded 120 V~ outlet. While standing to the 4. side of workpiece, hold Planer firmly with one hand on rear handle, molded in the Housing (3, 16), and with other hand on Front Handle (26). Set the Adjustable Base Plate (36) of the Planer on the front edge of the wood 5. stock. Then, depress the Safety Switch (51) and squeeze the Trigger (48) to start the Planer. IMPORTANT: Do not start to move planer across workpiece until Knives are spinning at full speed. While placing pressure on the Adjustable Base Plate (36) to control the depth of cut, 6. and , if used, pressing the Fence (37) against the workpiece to control the width of cut, feed the Planer slowly until the Rear Base Plate (43) contacts the wood stock. Then, transfer pressure to the Rear Base Plate, and continue planing slowly to the end of the cut. Do not pull the Planer backwards over the surface already cut. If necessary, repeat Step #6, using progressively deeper cuts until you near the 7. desired depth. Adjust the Depth Adjustment Kno...
