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

Adjusting the depth of cut (Fig. 12)
Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the
knob on the front of the tool.
Switch action
CAUTION:
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that
the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the
''OFF'' position when released.
For tool without lock button and lock-off button
(Fig. 13)
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop.
For tool with lock button (Fig. 14)
To start the tool, simply pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop. For continuous operation, pull the
trigger and then push in the lock button. To stop the
tool from the locked position, pull the trigger fully, then
release it.
For tool with lock-off button (Fig. 15)
To prevent the trigger from being accidentally pulled,
a lock-off button is provided. To start the tool, press
the lock-off button and pull the trigger. Release the
trigger to stop.

Planing operation (Fig. 16)
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 power planer 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 (Fig. 17, 18, 19 & 20)
To make a stepped cut as shown in Fig. 17, use the
edge fence.
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.
Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the
side of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the
screw.
You may wish to add to the length of the fence by
attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes
are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for
attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).
