For the correct planer blade setting
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the planer blade is set properly and securely. The planer
blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base.
Refer to some examples below for proper and improper settings.
(A) Front base (Movable shoe)
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob and the
other hand on the switch handle when performing the
tool.
Planing operation
► Fig.11: 1. Start 2. End
Apply the tool front base flat upon the workpiece
surface without the planer blades contacting the work-
piece. Switch on and wait until the blades attain full
speed. Then move the tool gently forward at a uniform
speed. Apply pressure on the front of tool at the start of
planing, and on the rear at the end of planing.
The speed and depth of cut determine the finish. To
obtain a good surface finish, plane deeply until you get
near the desired depth, and then plane thinly and slowly
for the final pass.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
► Fig.12
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge
fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the
blade edge with the cutting line.
► Fig.13: 1. Blade edge 2. Cutting line
Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side
of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the screw.
