that desired amount of wood is being removed
by your planer.
NOTE: To protect blades during storage,
transporting, etc., set blade depth adjustment
knob to 0.

2. USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE AND
REBATE GUIDE (SEE FIG. F)
The width of rebating cut (e) is adjustable by
moving the parallel guide (8). The depth of
rebating cut (d) is determined by moving the
rebate (13), and the number of passes made
along the workpiece.
E
Make sure that the planer is guided with a lateral
supporting pressure.

4. STANDARD SURFACE PLANING
Set the desired cutting depth. Position the front
part of the base plate flat onto the work surface.
Make sure that the blades are not touching the
workpiece. Switch the machine on and push your
planer forward and it will start cutting. Always
maintain all of the base plate flat on the work
surface to prevent the cutting blade jumping.
Move the planer evenly over the work surface.
Be careful to avoid hitting nails during operation.
It could nick, crack, or damage blades. We
suggest that you always keep an extra set of
blades on hand for replacement.
5. EDGE CHAMFERING (SEE FIG. H)
WARNING! Danger of kickback! Always
grip the machine with both hands.
Maintaining good control will help avoid the
risk of serious personal injury. The workpiece
must always be properly supported and
clamped so that both hands will be free to
control the planer.
Using the V-groove (f) in the base plate (9) you
can make a chamfer on the work piece edge.
Guide the planer along the edge and maintain
a constant angle and force to produce a good
finish. You can control the angle of the chamfer
with your hands. Make a test chamfer on a scrap
piece of wood. Maintain downward pressure to
keep your planer flat at the beginning and the
end of the work surface.

6. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (SEE FIG.
I1-I4)
NOTE: Dull and worn blade cannot be reground

WARNING! Remove power cord from the
socket before carrying out any
adjustments or changing blades. Always
F
wear gloves when replacing blades.
1) Using the blade spanner provided to loosen
the three installation screws anticlockwise
