RESHARPENING HSS BLADES
Worn or dull HSS plane blades can be re-
sharpened. The optimal blade angle of 50°
should be maintained when sharpening.
Once a total of 6 mm of steel has been removed
from tips of the blades, both blades must be
replaced because the minimum HSS blade
height is 23 mm from back to tip.

LEVELING OF HSS BLADES

A PA1206 HSS Blade Leveling Fixture
(optional accessory) is required to level new or
resharpened HSS blades. (Not necessary with
the PA1204 HSS Blades and Retainers, which
are leveled at the factory.)
1. Place the blade and blade retainer on the
leveling fixture and make sure that the blade
retainer engages in the grooves intended for
this purpose. (Fig. 9)
2. Press the plane blade against the stop in
front of the cutting edge to achieve the
proper depth and evenness (levelness) and
with the blade retainer in this position and
tighten it with the locking screws. This will
automatically adjust the blade to the correct
height and levelness.
TRIGGER "ON/OFF" SWITCH
Hold the tool with both
WARNING
hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can
cause the tool to twist.
To turn tool "ON": depress the "Lock-Off"
release button from either side and squeeze
the trigger switch.
To turn the tool "OFF": release the trigger
switch and it will return to "OFF" position
automatically.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch on
and off while tool and drum are held against
a workpiece.
PLANING ACTION
Proper planing action helps to achieve the
desired result. With practice and experience,
it will become second nature. Make sure that
the workpiece is held in place securely on
your work surface, and standing comfortably,
hold the planer firmly with both hands.

Operating Instructions

1. With the planer fully adjusted, place the
front shoe on the workpiece, (be certain
that the blade drum is not in contact with
the work) and start the planer as described
earlier.
2. With pressure on the front shoe, and the
fence against the side of the work (to
control the width or angle,) feed the planer
steadily until the full length of the rear shoe
passes over the edge of the workpiece.
