OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: Before using the tool, read the
instruction book carefully.
INTENDED USE
The machine is intended for planing of firmly
supported wooden materials, such as beams and
boards. It is also suitable for beveling edges and
rebating.
ASSEMBLY
1. ASSEMBLING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (SEE
FIG. A)
1) Insert the parallel guide locking screw (10)
provided through the hole on the support of
parallel guide. Turn the screw (10) into the nut
on the housing.
2) Fix the parallel guide on the support of parallel
guide with the screw (a) and nut (b). Ensure
the screws are tightened securely.
NOTE: The parallel guide (8) should be fitted on
the left of housing.
To adjust the required width of cut, loosen the nut
(b) and slide the parallel guide to the required
position. Retighten the nut fully.
Use the parallel guide while cutting. The guide
should be held firmly against the edge of the
workpiece.

2. ASSEMBLING THE REBATE GUIDE (SEE FIG. B)
Insert the rebate guide locking screw (c) provided
through the slot on the rebate. Turn the screw
(c) into the nut on the housing. The cut depth
adjustment can be set from 0 to16mm. To adjust
the depth of cut, place the planer on a flat board,
then loosen the screw (c) and slide the cut depth
adjustment guide up and down for required

depth. Tighten the screw (c) fully.

3. FITTING THE DUST BAG (SEE FIG. C)
This accessory can be fitted by sliding the dust
bag inlet (1) over the planer dust extraction outlet
(3) as far as possible. The dust bag will reduce
the efficiency of the exhaust system and the
bag must be emptied frequently to maintain the
efficiency.

4. EXTERNAL DUST EXTRACTION (SEE FIG. D)
The dust extraction outlet (3) is best connected
I3
to a suitable external dust extraction machine
e.g. vacuum cleaner (not supplied). Use of
vacuum extraction does not negate the need to
wear personal protective equipment, especially
respiratory protective equipment.

OPERATION
1. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. E)
The planing depth can be adjusted from 0 to
3mm. Rotate the cutting depth adjustment
knob (2) to set the required cutting depth with
the scale. The clockwise rotation increases the
planing depth; the anticlockwise rotation reduces
the planing depth. Always work from a rough cut
to a finish cut.
It is recommended that test cuts be made in
scrap wood after each adjustment to make sure
