Planing (Fig. 2, 5–7)
CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching tool
to the work surface. Lift the tool from the work surface before turning
the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the front
handle (J) and the other hand on the main handle (C) as shown in
Figure 2. Place the front shoe (G) on the surface to be planed, making
certain that the cutting blades are not touching the surface. Push
down firmly on the front handle of the planer so that the front shoe is
ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work surface. Squeeze the trigger switch
and allow the motor to reach full speed before touching the planer
blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward pressure
to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at
the beginning and the end of the work surface.
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap
wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don't stop planing until
the cutting blades of the planer are past your workpiece and into the
scrap material.

2. Slide the crossbar on the rabbet fence (Q) into the hole (F) on the
CORRECT
side of the planer as shown in Figure 8.
3. Set the width of cut by adjusting the edge guide across the width
of the shoe.
4. Securely tighten rabbet fence tightening knob (H).
NOTE: The rabbet fence should be below the planer when installed
correctly as shown in Figure 9.
TO MAKE A RABBET CUT
1. Turn the rabbet fence tightening knob (H) to adjust the desired
width of cut.
