WARNING: The planer is designed so that the
blades are correctly aligned if placed flush into the bar-
rel slots and tightened correctly. When inserting new
blades it is essential that they sit square in their slot,
that they are fully inserted and that the cutting edges
are absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the
rear base. Only when all these conditions are satisfied
should the clamping bolts be tightened. If the blades
protrude or are not square, they could hit the casing
with serious risk to the operator and others in the vicin-
ity. Blade must be positioned centrally on the barrel.
Your planing surface will end up rough and un-
even unless the blades are set and secured properly.
The examples show proper and improper settings:
(Fig.3)
– as caused by the edge of one or
both blades not being parallel to the rear base line.
(Fig.4)
– as caused by the edge of one or
both blades not protruding enough in relation to the
rear base line. (Fig.5)
– as caused by the edge of one or
both blades protruding too far in relation to the rear
base line. (Fig.6)
WARNING: The two red painted Allen screws
are secured with adhesive, they must not be adjusted.
The position of these screws may be altered by the
manufacturer only!
WARNING: Before plugging the machine into
on ensure that the blade barrel is not in contact with any
surface.
3. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to oper-
vent accidental operation of the planer. (Fig.9)
WARNING: Please note that that the planer
blades continue to spin for some time after switch-
ing off the planer. Wait until the motor has completely
stopped before setting down the tool to prevent dam-
age to the planer blades or the surface.

without the blades making any contact with the work-
piece.
2. Switch on the tool and wait for the blades to reach full
speed.
3. Move the tool gently forward, applying pressure on the
tool.
4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece
without tilting it downwards.
5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine
increase the depth of cut, however to achieve a good
finish you will need to reduce the depth of cut and ad-
vance the tool more slowly.
Planing is easier if you incline the workpiece
WARNING: Moving the machine too fast may
cause a poor quality of cut and can damage the blades
or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may burn
or mar the cut.
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material
being cut and the depth of the cut.

WARNING: Clamp the workpiece to the
bench.
1. To fit the rebate depth, select the desired value by the
position the slide to the desired rebating width and re-
tighten the wing nut.

3. Loosen the wing nut securing the fence slide, position
the slide to the desired rebating width and re-tighten
the wing nut.
4. If it is necessary to rebate to a precise width, plane
a scrap piece of wood, measure the rebate distance
and adjust the setting if necessary.
