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.

PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms
to the power requirements specified 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 sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
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).

4. Prepare a stable wooden workbench suitable for
planing operation. As a poorly balanced workbench
creates a hazard, ensure it is securely positioned
on firm, level ground.
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 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 finished surface, finish 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 first 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 flat throughout the entire cutting operation.
4. Precaution after finishing the planing operation
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
finishing 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.
