n Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as you reach the end of the planed cut. This helps keep the rear section of the planer base in contact with the work and prevents the front of the planer from gouging the cut. WARNING: Be careful to avoid hitting nails or any other foreign objects during planing operation; this action could nick, crack, or damage blades. NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of blades on hand. As soon as the blades in your planer show signs of becoming dull, replace them. n Plane slowly and empty the dust bag often. NOTE: Using a battery in a low charge condition will cause chip build-up and clogging of the chip exhaust. This will also affect the quality of the cut. Keep a freshly-charged battery available and replace the discharged battery when you notice a decrease in performance. CAUTION: Planing too fast results in a poor finish and increases chip build-up in the chip exhaust. Chip build-up restricts air flow and can cause motor overheating. WARNING: Do not attempt to clear a blocked chip exhaust until the blades stop and you have removed the battery. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury. CLAMP WORKPIECE FRONT HANDLE REAR HANDLE DUST BAG 16 OPERATION CHAMFERING See Figure 12. The planer is designed with a chamfering groove in the front shoe to chamfer edges of boards as shown. Before making a cut on good lumber, practice cutting on scrap lumber to determine the amount to be removed. n Clamp the work securely. n Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand. n Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut. n Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed. n Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work, using a slow, steady motion. n Apply downward pressure to keep the planer flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface. PLANING EDGES AND MAKING RABBET CUTS The planer comes with an adjustable edge guide for precision edge planing and rabbet cutting. Attach the edge guide to either side of the planer for planing edges. Attach the edge guide to the left side for making rabbet cuts. ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR PLANING EDGES See Figure 13. n Lock the switch by placing the lock-off button in the center position. n Attach the bracket to the desired side of the planer using the knob bolt. n Attach the edge guide to the bracket using the knob nut and the carriage head bolt. n Tighten the retaining knob securely.

Follow the directions in the “Planing” section earlier in this manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the work surface. ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR MAKING RABBET CUTS n Lock the switch by placing the lock-off button in the center position. n Attach the bracket to the left side of the planer using the knob bolt. n Attach the edge guide loosely to the bracket using the knob nut and the carriage head bolt. n Adjust the edge guide to the desired width for the rabbet cut. n Tighten the retaining knob securely. MAKING RABBET CUTS See Figure 15. Follow the directions in the “Planing” section earlier in this manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the work surface. The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth of the cut and the number of passes made along the work surface. The maximum depth of the rabbet cut is 1/2 in. Cuts should be made in 1/16 in. passes, or less, to reach the desired depth. The width of the rabbet cut may be adjusted by moving the edge guide.
