manual abstract
If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES 1. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area. 2.Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all nails from the workpiece be- fore operation. 3.Handle the blades very carefully. 4. Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation. 5.Hold the tool firmly with both hands. 6. Keep hands away from rotating parts. 7. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly balanced blade. 8. Make sure the blade is not contacting the workpiece before the switch is turned on. 9. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting. IO. Keep at least 200 mm (8") away from the tool at all times. 11. Always switch off and wait for the blades to come to a complete stop be- fore any adjusting. 12.Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out chips with a stick. 13.Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool only when hand-held. 14. When leaving the planer, switch off and set it with the front base up on a wooden block, so that the blades do not contact anything. 15.Always change both blades or covers on the drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and shorten tool life. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Removing or installing planer blades WARNING : Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before removing or installing the blades. To remove the blades on the drum, un- screw the three installation bolts with the socket wrench. The drum cover comes off together with the blades. To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the I drum or blades. Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscilla- tionhibration will result, causing poor planing action and, eventually, tool break- down. 1 Place the blade on the gauge base so that the blade edge is perfectly flush with the I inside edge of the gauge plate. Place the adjusting plate on the blade, then simply press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten the two screws on the adjusting plate. Now slip the heel of the adjusting plate into the drum groove, then fit the drum cover on it. Tighten the three in- stallation bolts evenly and alternately with the socket wrench. WARNING: Eo1t Adjusting plated Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they are tightened securely. 5 Adjusting depth of cut Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool. Adjusting front base 1. To create a curved surface, loosen the wing nut. For a concave planing job, raise the front base; for a convex plan- ing job, lower the front base. In either case, the front base must be aligned with the cutting line. Then tighten the wing nut securely. NOTE: As explained later, although the objec- tive is to cut until the cutting line is eventually reached, the planing must take place gradually.

Turn the front knob on the tool F F Wing nut until the front base is perfectly level with the rear base. Then tighten the wing nut securely. Switch action To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then release it. WARNING: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the trigger switch actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. Planing operation First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface without the blades mak- ing any contact. Switch on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of planing. The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
