• NOTE: The blades are preset so that the cutting edge is level, i.e. parallel to the
surface of the rear shoe. Tighten the clamping screws, ensuring they are tightened
evenly.
5. Repeat for the second blade. Making sure both blades are set to the same
cutting level and positioned in the centre of cutter block, otherwise your
planing surface will be rough and uneven.
• NOTE: Always change both blades at the same time, use blades of the same
dimensions and weight, otherwise the resulting imbalance can cause vibration,
poor planing action and shorten the blade and tool life.
! Tighten all the clamping screws carefully when attaching the blades to
the planer. A loose clamping screw could be extremely dangerous.
Regularly check to see if they are tightened securely.
WARNING
• NOTE: Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven unless the blades are
set properly and securely. The blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is
absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the rear shoe.
3. Operation for working
a. Planing
1. Rest the front shoe flat on the work-piece surface without the blades making
any contact with the work-piece.
2. Switch on the tool and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
3. Move the tool gently forward, applying pressure on the front of the tool at the
start of planing and pressure at the rear of the tool towards the end of the
planing stroke.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the work-piece without tilting it
downwards.
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish.
• For rough cutting, you can increase the depth of cut, whilst to achieve a good finish
you will need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
! Moving the machine too fast may cause a poor quality of cut and can
damage the blades or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may
burn or mar the cut.
WARNING
• The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the depth of
the cut.

• Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and the
cut dimensions.
! Always use two hands to hold the planer.
WARNING
! Where possible, clamp the work piece to the bench. In between
operations, you can rest the planer on a flat surface with the blade
protection foot hinged down to support the planer so that the blades
are kept clear of the surface.
WARNING
b. Chamfering edges
• The fast and simple chamfering of edges at an angle of 45° is made possible by the
V groove integrated in the front base plate.
• Place the plane with the V groove on the edge you wish to machine and move it
along it, ensuring that you move it at an even speed and maintain a constant angle.
