PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. Wait for the cutter to stop before settling the tool
down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surface
only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an
electric shock.

(See Fig. 1-4)
PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specifi ed 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 suffi cient 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
fi rm, level ground.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. 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
P20SF: 0-2.6 mm, P20ST: 0-1.5 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 fi nished surface, fi nish cutting 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 fi rst 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 fl at throughout the entire cutting operation.
4. Precaution after fi nishing the planing operation
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
fi nishing 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.
5. Cord holder (P20SF)
A cord holder is provided on the back of the handle
below where the cord is attached. Clip the cord in the
holder from right or left depending on which side you
want the cord to be. (Fig. 8)
6. Stand (P20SF)
Lift the back of the planer to extend the foot from the
base. Having the stand extended when you put the
planer down prevents contact between the blade and
the material. (Fig. 9)
