Depth Adjustment Crank

Turning the crank clockwise lowers the cutterhead. Turning

the crank counterclockwise raises thecutterhead.

Turret Stop (Fig. H)

Your planer is equipped with a turret stop

17

for planing

multiple boards to the same pre-set depth. Stops are set at

1/8" (3mm), 1/4" (6.5mm), 1/2" (12.7mm), 3/4" (19mm),

1" (25.5mm), and 1–1/4" (32mm).

Fig.H

To Set the Minimum Depth to Which the

Carriage can Travel with the Turret Stop

1. Be sure the carriage is set above 1–1/4" (32mm) before

trying to set the turretstop.

2. Turn the dial on the front left of the planer until the

desired thickness setting aligns with the red indicator,

then lower thecarriage.

3. Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the

correct final thickness isachieved.

NOTE: Do not use force to crank the carriage below

the level that the turret stop indicates. Permanent

damage to the height adjust ment system on your

planer willresult.

OPERATION



WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal

injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from

power source before making any adjustments or

removing/installing attachments or accessories.

An accidental start-up can causeinjury.

On/Off Switch (Fig. I)

To turn the planer on, lift the switch

12

up.

The planer locks on automatically. To turn the tool off, press

the switch down. A hole

13

is provided under the switch

for insertion of a padlock to lock off theplaner.

Speed Selection (Fig. J)

NOTE: Only switch speeds when the planer isrunning.

Your planer has the ability to feed material at two different

speeds. The two-speed feature

16

was designed to

improve efficiency when planing and to provide the best

possible surface finish to a variety ofmaterials.

Fig.J

To remove material thickness more quickly, set the unit

at speed “2”. This setting delivers 96 cuts per inch to

thematerial.

For finishing, set the unit to speed “1”. Speed “1” is ideal for

ensuring the finest finish on the last pass before your final

thickness isachieved.

NOTE: When planing particularly hard or figured species of

wood, speed “1” is recommended. The slower feed rate will

reduce knife wear and tear-out by delivering 179 cuts per

inch to thematerial.

Material Removal Gauge (Fig. K)

Your planer is equipped with a material removal

gauge

15

. It is used to indicate the amount of wood that

will be removed in one pass with the carriage set at its

currentheight.

Fig.K

To Use the Material Removal Gauge

1. Slide approximately 3" (75mm) of your ma terial under

the middle of thecarriage.

2. Be sure the wood is lying flat against the base of the

planer. If the material is inserted at an angle, the reading

may beinaccurate.

3. Crank the carriage down on the ma terial until the

material removal bar engages the wood. You will see

the red arrow begin to move up the scale indicating the

amount of material to be removed with the carriage at

thatheight.

4. Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of cut

appears on thegauge.

5. Pull the material out from under thecarriage.

6. Turn the unit on and feed your material into

thecutterhead.

NOTE: Do not exceed the recommended depth of cut for

various widths of material recommended on the material

removalgauge.
