manual abstract
Adjust the blade lengthwise so that the blade ends are clear of the housing. Tighten the three installation bolts securely with the socket wrench. Adjust the front base to its highest position (maximum depth of cut) by turn- ing the knob on the front of the tool clock- wise. Place the triangular rule flush on the rear base. To check for proper blade pro- trusion, rotate the drum in the cutting direction by turning the planer drive belt while lightly holding the triangular rule flush against the rear base. The triangular rule flush against the rear base. The triangular rule will be lifted very slightly and will be moved forward (toward the front base). The triangular rule should move forward 1- 5 mm (3/64"-13/64"). Check the blade protrusion at both ends of the blade. The tri- angular rule should move forward equally at both ends. If the blade does not protrude properly, use the blade gauge to adjust the blade protrusion. Repeat the same procedures for the other blade on the drum. NOTE : A mini planer blade has a cutting edge on both sides, making it reversible for double blade life and greater convenience. CAUTION : 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. Blade adjustment using blade gauge Unscrew the three installation bolts. Remove the drum cover, the mini blade and the adjusting plate/set plate. Loosen the two screws on the adjusting plate. Set the mini blade on the blade gauge so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly flush with the inside edge of the blade gauge. Set the adjusting platehet plate on the blade gauge and over the mini blade so that the blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini blade groove. Press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back edge of the blade gauge. Tighten the two screws on the adjusting plate. Fit the heel of the adjusting plate into the groove of the drum. Place the drum cover over the adjusting plate/set plate. Screw in the three installation bolts so that a gap exists between the drum and the set plate to allow the mini blade to slide into posi- tion. Follow the same installation pro- cedures covered in "Removing or installing mini planer blades". Heel of adjusting plate Adjusting date Mini planer blade 7+ \ Groove For the correct planer blade setting Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the reat base. Below are some examples of proper and improper settings.

Adjusting depth of cut Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool. 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. CAUTION : 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. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill. 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. Shiplapping To make a stepped cut as shown at the right, use the edge fence. You may wish to add to the length of the fence by attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for attaching an extension guide (optional accessory). I I NOTE : When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result. Max. shiplapping depth is 9 mm (1 1/32").
