Intended Use
Large hand-held electric planer for heavy-duty planing tasks on
hard and softwood timber.
Not for commercial use.
The tool must ONLY be used for its intended purpose. Any use other
than those mentioned in this manual will be considered a case
of misuse. The operator, and not the manufacturer, shall be liable
for any damage or injury resulting from such cases of misuse. The
manufacturer shall not be liable for any modifications made to the
tool, nor for any damage resulting from such modifications.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself
with all its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts
replaced before attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power
supply before attaching or removing accessories, or making any
adjustments.
Adjusting the front handle
1. Hinge out the Front Handle Lock Lever (9) (Image A) and move
the Front Handle (1) to one of four positions to best suit the task
(Image B)
2. Hinge back lever to secure the Front Handle in the selected
position
Note: If necessary, the lever action mechanism can be adjusted
using the Front Handle Set Screw (13) (Image C).
Combined parallel and bevel fence guide
1. Fit the Combined Parallel and Bevel Fence Guide (20) to the
base by screwing the Fence Attachment Knobs (21) into the
Fence Attachment Points (7) and (10) (Image D)
2. Loosen the two wing nuts and set the angle of the fence if you
wish to use it as a guide for making bevel cuts (Image E)
3. When set at right angles to the planer base, the fence provides a
guide to help control the planing action
Note: The fence can be fitted to either side of the base.
Note: The angle graduations marked on the fence are approximate
only. For accurate bevel cutting it is necessary to measure the angle
of the fence, make a trial cut and adjust if necessary.
Shavings extraction
IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that a workshop vacuum
cleaner or other dust extraction system is used with this product.
The tool produces a large amount of waste material in use and an
active extraction system is required for optimal operation.
1. The Dust/Chip Extraction Port (18) allows connection to a
vacuum dust extraction system
2. Using the Dust Extraction Adaptor (19) permits a dust extraction
system to be connected to the Dust/Chip Extraction Port (Image F)
EN
3. To fit the Dust Extraction Adaptor, insert it into the Dust/Chip
Extraction Port and twist it clockwise until it locks into position
Adjusting the depth of cut
Note: Always check that the power tool is disconnected from the
mains when making adjustments or installing or removing blades.
1. Rotate the Depth Adjustment Knob (12) clockwise for a deeper
cut and anti-clockwise for a shallower cut

2. The numbers on the ring under the Depth Adjustment Knob
indicate the depth of cut. There are 8 click stop positions from
0.25-2mm that increment by 0.25mm
3. If it is necessary to plane to a precise depth, plane a scrap piece
of wood, measure the difference in thickness and adjust the
setting if necessary
4. To check accuracy and tolerance of the Movable Front Base (11)
set the depth adjustment knob to the '0' position so the blade
can be measured against the Fixed Rear Base (6) and Movable
Front Base (11). The Fixed Rear Base, blade and Movable Front
Base should be at the same level at the '0' position
5. After use, always move the depth adjustment knob to the 'P'
parked position. This protects the blade by moving the Movable
Front Base so that the blade is not in contact with the surface the
planer is resting on
Operation
Switching ON & OFF
WARNING: Before plugging the tool into the mains power
point always check that the ON/Off Trigger Switch (3) and Trigger
Safety Lock (4) work properly. Before switching ON, ensure that the
blade drum or blade is not making contact with any surface.
1. Plug in the machine, push in the Trigger Safety Lock (4) (Image
G) and pull the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (3) (Image H)
2. Stop the tool by simply releasing the ON/OFF Trigger Switch
3. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to operate both
the Trigger Safety Lock (4) and the ON/OFF Trigger Switch (3).
This is an important safety feature that helps prevent accidental
operation of the planer
CAUTION: Please note that the planer blades continue to spin for
some time after switching OFF the planer. Wait until the motor
has completely stopped before setting down the tool to prevent
damage to the planer blades or the surface.
• If resting the planer on its side, do not rest it on the vented side.
This will prevent dust or chips from contaminating the motor
• When the planer is not to be used for a short period, set the
depth control knob to the 'P' (parked) position and ensure both
bases (6) and (11) are resting on the same level surface
Planing
1. Rest the Movable Front Base (11) flat on the workpiece surface
without the blades making any contact with the workpiece
2. Switch ON the tool and wait for the blades to reach full speed
3. Move the tool gently forward, applying pressure on the front of
the tool, using one hand on the Front Handle (1) at the start of
planing. Apply pressure at the rear of the tool using the other
hand on the Main Handle (5) towards the end of the planing
stroke
Note: It is important to understand that the Movable Front Base
dictates how much of the blade is exposed to the wood and this
requires the user to apply downward pressure on both the front
and back of the tool evenly during use.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without
tilting it downwards or upwards
Tip: Treat the material as if it is slightly longer than it actually is -
the planing action will continue until the blades have well passed
the end of the workpiece.
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality
of the finish. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be
increased; however, to achieve a good finish, the depth of cut
should be reduced and the tool advanced more slowly
Note: Planing is easier if the workpiece is inclined slightly away
from the operator so that planing is performed 'downhill' .
