Edge Chamfering (Fig. 15)
Your planer has a precision machined
chamfering groove (DD) in the front
shoe for planing along a corner of
the wood. The width of the groove
is 4.5 to 8 mm. It's a good idea to
try a piece of scrap wood before
doing finish work.
Dust Extraction
(Fig. 2, 16)
Your planer has a built-in dust
extraction port (L) which allows either
a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be
connected. The built-in outlet utilizes
the D
WALT AirLock connection
e
system making it compatible with the D
TO ATTACH THE DUST BAG
While holding the planer, slide
the dust bag collar onto the dust
extraction port (L) as shown in
Figure 16.
TO EMPTY THE DUST BAG
1. While
holding
the
planer,
remove the dust bag by sliding
it off the dust extraction port (L).
2. Gently shake or tap the dust
bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back
onto the outlet.

You may notice that all the dust will not come free from the bag. This
will not affect planing performance but will reduce the planer's dust
collection efficiency. To restore your planer's dust collection efficiency,
depress the spring inside the dust bag when you are emptying it and
tap it on the side of the trash can or dust receptacle.
NOTE: A D
WALT AirLock Adapter (DWV9000) can be purchased
e
separately to connect a shop vacuum or D
your planer.
CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the dust
collector is in place. Planing dust exhaust may create a breathing
hazard.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
turn tool off and remove the battery pack before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Cleaning
WARNING: Blow dirt and dust out of all air vents with clean, dry air
at least once a week. To minimize the risk of eye injury, always wear
ANSI Z87.1 approved eye protection when performing this.
WARNING: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for
cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals may
weaken the plastic materials used in these parts. Use a cloth
dampened only with water and mild soap. Never let any liquid get
inside the tool; never immerse any part of the tool into a liquid.
CHARGER CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger from the AC
outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease may be removed from the
exterior of the charger using a cloth or soft non-metallic brush. Do not
use water or any cleaning solutions.
