OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob and the
other hand on the switch handle when operating the
tool.
Planing operation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece
surface without the blades making 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 tool 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 (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).
Install the edge fence on the tool. Secure it with the
washer and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw
(B) and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact
with the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumb
screw (B) securely.

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide.
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise, uneven
planing may result.
