PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized con-
forms to the power requirements specified on the
product nameplate.
2. Power switch
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, which could cause
a serious accident.
3. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Prepare a stable wooden workbench suitable for
planing operation. As a poorly balanced workbench
creates a hazard, ensure it is securely positioned
on firm, level ground.

2. Do not use the Planer with the blades facing upward
(as stationary type planer).

PLANING PROCEDURES
1. Adjusting the cutter depth:
(1) Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the
arrow in Fig. 5 (clockwise), until the triangular mark
is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the
scale. The scale unit is graduated in millimeters.
(2) The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range
of 0-1 mm.
2. Surface cutting:
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large
cutting depths and at a suitable speed so that
shavings are smoothly ejected from the machine.
To ensure a smoothly finished surface, finish cut-
ting should be accomplished at small cutting depths
and at low feeding speed.
3. Beginning and ending the cutting operation:
As shown in Fig. 6, place the front base of the
planer on the material and support the planer
horizontally. Turn ON the power switch, and slowly
operate the planer toward the leading edge of the
material. Firmly depress the front half of the planer
at the first stage of cutting, as shown in Fig. 7,
depress the rear half of the planer at the end of
the cutting operation. The planer must always be
kept flat throughout the entire cutting operation.
4. Precaution after finishing the planing operation:
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
finishing the planing operation, ensure that the
cutting blades (base) of the planer do not contact
or come too near your body. Failure to do so could
result in serious injury.
