Adjusting the cutting depth

CAUTION: Always ensure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power
supply before making adjustments or installing
or removing blades.
1. Rotate the depth adjustment knob (3)
clockwise for a deeper cut and anti-clockwise
for a shallower cut.
2. The numbers on the ring under the depth
adjustment knob indicate the depth of cut.
For example when "3/32" is next to the
pointer on the front of the planer, the depth of
cut is approximately 3/32 inch.
3. If it is necessary to accurately determine the
cutting depth, plane a scrap piece of wood,
measure the difference in thickness and
adjust settings if necessary.

Switching on and off

CAUTION: Before plugging the machine into the
power point always check that the trigger switch
(1) and lock-off button (2) work properly.
1. Plug in the machine, push in the lock-off
button (2) and pull the trigger switch (1).
2. To stop the tool, simply release the trigger
switch (1).
3. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary
to operate both the lock-off button (2) and the
trigger switch (1). This is an important safety
feature that helps prevent accidental starting
of the planer.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ???
Planing:
1. Rest the front base (12) flat on the workpiece
surface without the blades making any
contact with the workpiece.
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, using your
hand on the auxiliary handle (5) at the start
of planing and pressure at the rear of the
tool, using your hand on the main handle (4)
towards the end of the planing stroke.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the
workpiece without tilting it downwards.
Note: Planing is easier if you incline the
workpiece slightly away from you so that you
plane "downhill".
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, while
to achieve a good finish you will need to reduce
the depth of cut and advance the tool more
slowly.
CAUTION: 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.
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.
CAUTION: Always use two hands to hold
the planer.
CAUTION: Where possible, clamp the
workpiece to the bench.
Chamfering
1. To make a chamfered cut as shown in fig. 1,
First align one of the three "v" grooves in the
front base (12) of the planer with the corner
edge of the workpiece.
2. Choose the "v" groove to suit the required
depth of chamfer.
3. Run the planer along the corner edge.
Fig. 1. Chamfered edge.
Fig. 2. Aligning the "v" groove.
Parallel fence guide
CAUTION: Always make sure that the tool is
switched off and unplugged from the power
supply before making adjustments or installing
or removing blades.
1. To fit the parallel fence guide (14), remove the
rebating fence attachment knob (7) and slide
the fence guide onto the planer.
Note: Make sure that the two notches in the
fixing plate of the fence locate over the two lugs
on the planer body.
2. Replace the fence attachment knob (7) and
tighten it firmly.
3. Loosen the wing nut securing the fence slide,
position the slide to the desired rebating
width and re-tighten the wing nut.
