SWITCHING ON/OFF

The planer has a trigger lock to

prevent accidental start-ups.

1. To turn the planer on, push the

trigger lock and then squeeze the

trigger switch.

2. To switch off, release the trigger

switch.

ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT

1. Rotate the depth adjustment

knob until the indicator arrow

aligns with the desired cutting

depth on the depth gauge.

• The minimum cutting increment

is 0.2 mm.

• The maximum cutting depth of

the planer is 3 mm.

NOTE: For optimal performance, set the cutting depth to 0.4 mm and

make multiple cuts until you reach the depth required.

GRAIN DIRECTION

Always cut in the same direction as

the grain of the wood.

There are six sides to every board:

two face grains, two side/edge

grains, and two end grains.

When planing the face and side/

edge grain, always plane in the

direction of the grain.

CAUTION: ALWAYS SET THE NUMBER ON THE DEPTH GAUGE TO “0” WHEN

THE PLANER IS NOT IN USE. REMEMBER EVEN AT “0”, A SLIGHTLY

PROTRUSIVE BLADE COULD STILL MAKE CONTACT. ENGAGE THE SAFETY

KICKSTAND TO PREVENT THE BLADE FROM TOUCHING THE WORKBENCH.

WARNING: DO NOT PLANE ACROSS THE GRAIN OF THE WOOD. DO NOT

PLANE END GRAIN AS THE WOOD WILL SPLINTER.
