shown in Figure B. Place the front shoe
planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not touching
the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of the planer
so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on the work surface.
Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the motor to reach full
speed before touching the planer blades to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward
pressure to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep
the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface.
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of
scrap wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don't stop
planing until the cutting blades of the planer are past your
workpiece and into the scrap material.
Rebate Fence (Fig. E, F)
WARNING: Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the
work surface before turning the tool off.
The rebate fence
17
is used for optimum tool control on
narrow workpieces and can be installed on either side of your
planer. The planer makes rebate cuts up to 9 mm.
To Install Rebate Fence
1. Loosen the rebate fence tightening knob
2. Slide the crossbar on the rebate fence
on the side of the planer as shown in Figure E.
3. Set the width of cut by adjusting the edge guide across the
width of the shoe.
4. Securely tighten rebate fence tightening knob
nOTE: The rebate fence should be below the planer when
installed correctly as shown in Figure F.
To Make a Rebate Cut
1. Turn the rebate fence tightening knob
desired width of cut.
2. Make several cuts until the desired depth is reached.
nOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most
rebate applications.
To Change Blades (Fig. G, H1-H3)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and remove the battery pack
before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental
start-up can cause injury.
CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle
with great care.
CAUTION: Be sure that the blades are mounted as
described in the instruction manual.
CAUTION: Inspect blades, carriers, guide bars, screws and
drum covers for straightness and defects. Do not use any
components that are suspect in any way.
CAUTION: Carefully tighten all screws when attaching
blades to the tool. Always check to make sure they are
tightened securely.
CAUTION: Use planer blades of the same weight and
dimensions, otherwise drum vibration/oscillation could
cause poor planing action and tool breakdown can result.

This planer uses 82 mm reversible carbide blades. When
replacing the blade, use 82 mm blades. Use D
replacement blade Part No. N455909. Other sizes may degrade
performance or cause damage to the planer.
Blade Storage (Fig. A, G)
Your planer is equipped with blade storage for two additional
blades. To store or remove additional blades, turn the blade
storage knob
counterclockwise to open.

2. To adjust Blade Using Gauge Plate (provided with
tool) (Fig. H3)
a. Cautiously place the sharp edge of the carbide blade
on the gauge plate
22
carbide blade facing up. Either edge of the reversible
carbide blade can be set flush against the gauge plate
inside wall
24
.
b. Place the blade carrier/guide bar assembly on the blade
so that the rib on the blade carrier
on the carbide blade
will overhang the end of the gauge plate
Loosen the two cross-shaped screws
a screwdriver.
c. Simultaneously hold the blade carrier
blade
25
against the gauge plate inside wall
holding the heel of the guide bar
edge of the gauge plate. Securely tighten the
cross-shaped screws
3. To Reinstall Blade (Fig. H1, H3)
a. Remove the adjusted blade carrier/guide bar assembly
from the gauge plate
bar
into the groove on the drum
23
b. Place the drum cover
assembly. Loosely screw the three star-head screws
into the drum
20
so that there is a small gap between
the drum and the blade carrier
c. Slide the carbide blade between the drum
blade carrier
26
from the side so that the rib on the
blade carrier sets into the groove in the blade.
d. Centre the carbide blade
making sure the blade is clear of the tool housing on
both sides.
e. Securely tighten the three star-head screws
the drum.
4. Repeat procedure for the other blade.
nOTE: Before installing or replacing blades, clean out all chips
or any foreign matter adhering to the planer blade or drum.
nOTE: If your planer is not fitted with carbide blades, the blade
