Kickstand (Fig. I)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
the rear shoe
that automatically lowers when the tool is
4
lifted from the work surface allowing the planer to set on the
work surface without the blade touching it. When planing,
the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward through the
material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing work, it can
be stored and locked out of the way.
WARNING: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly
extended when setting the planer on a work surface.
Edge Chamfering (Fig. J)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering groove
the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. The width
of the groove is 4.5 to 8 mm. It's a good idea to try a piece of
scrap wood before doing finish work.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, K1, K2)
Your planer has a built-in AirLock connection (Fig. K1,
which allows either a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be
connected. The built-in outlet utilizes the D
connection system, making it compatible with the D
dust extractor.
To Attach the Dust Bag
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar onto the
AirLock connection
12
as shown in Figure K1.
To Empty the Dust Bag
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag by sliding it
off the AirLock connection
2. Twist the chip deflector (Fig. K2,
bag to separate.
3. Gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
4. Reattach the dust bag back onto the AirLock connection.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the
bag. This will not affect planing performance but will reduce
the planer's dust collection efficiency. To restore your planer's
dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside the dust bag
when you are emptying it and tap it on the side of a dustbin.
nOTE: A D
WALT AirLock Adapter (DWV9000) can be
e
purchased separately to connect a shop vacuum or D
dust extractor to your planer.
CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the dust
collector is in place. Planing dust exhaust may create a
breathing hazard.
