To Set the Finished Thickness (Fig. B)
♦ Adjust the thickness. Turn the depth adjustment handle (1)
clockwise to lower the cutterhead. Turn the handle
counterclockwise to raise the cutterhead. One full rotation
of the handle moves the cutterhead 1.6 mm (1/16").
Fine Adjustments
The depth adjustment handle allows for fine adjustments,
from 0.4 mm (1/64") to 1.6 mm (1/16").
Fine adjustments are ideal for "shaving" small amounts
from your material. For example, if your planed workpiece
measures 77.8 mm (3-1/16") thick, but should be 76.2 mm
(3") thick, adjust your planer to remove the excess 1.6 mm
(1/16") as follows:
1. Plane and measure your workpiece. In this example,
the starting thickness is 77.8 mm (3-1/16").
2. Turn the circular label on the depth adjustment handle
until the "0" mark aligns with the arrow on the top of the
tool. Do not make any other adjustments to the planer.
3. Turn the depth adjustment handle clockwise until the
1.6 mm (1/16") mark aligns with the arrow.
4. Plane your workpiece. The final thickness should be
76.2 mm (3").
TURRET STOP (FIG. B, J)
♦ Your planer is equipped with a turret stop (20) , for planing
multiple boards to the same pre-set depth. Stops are set
at 0", 1/4" (6.4 mm), 1/2" (12.7 mm), 3/4" (19 mm), 1"
(25.4 mm) and 1-1/4"(32 mm).
TO SET THE MINIMUM DEPTH TO WHICH THE
CARRIAGE CAN TRAVEL WITH THE TURRET
STOP
♦ Be sure the carriage is set above 1–1/4" (32 mm) before
trying to set the turret stop.
♦ Turn the turret stop until the desired thickness setting
shows.
♦ Unlock the carriage lock lever and lower the carriage.
♦ Plane the workpiece at desired increments until the correct
final thickness is achieved.
OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING:
Always observe the safety instructions
and applicable regulations.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of serious
personal injury, turn tool off and disconnect
tool from power source before making any
adjustments or removing/installing attachments or
accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.

ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG. K)
♦ The workpiece should not be in contact with the cutterhead
when switching on. To turn on, press the green start
button of the switch 9 (Fig. K). The tool now works in
continuous operation.
♦ Allow the motor to reach full speed before feeding
the workpiece.
♦ Allow the blades to cut freely. Do not force.
♦ To switch off, press the red stop button of the switch ( 9 ).
WARNING:
Always turn off the tool when work
is finished and before unplugging.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR/RESET BUTTON (FIG. K)
This planer is equipped with an overload protector/reset
button (10) which will automatically "trip" and cause the planer
to shut down if the motor is overloaded due to continuous
heavy cutting.
The planer overload protector can only be reset manually
by the user after the planer has been allowed to adequately
cool. Allow 15–30 minutes.
Should the overload protector "trip":
♦ Turn switch off (O).
♦ Raise carriage and remove board.
♦ After 15–30 minutes, reset overload protector by
pushing the reset button(10) beside switch. An
audible click will indicate the overload protector
is reset. Once the button is reset, the tool may be
started and operated as normal.
♦ If motor has cooled, button will remain in.
MATERIAL REMOVAL DEPTH SCALE (FIG. L)
Your planer is equipped with a material removal gauge (8) . It
is used to indicate the amount of wood that will be removed in
one pass with the carriage set at its current height.
TO USE THE MATERIAL REMOVAL DEPTH SCALE
♦ WARNING: During the initial cutting for the new tool, it
is recommended that the first cut depth adjustment shall
be less than 1.5mm.
♦ 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.
♦ Crank the carriage down on the material 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.
♦ Adjust the carriage height until the desired depth of cut
appears on the scale.
♦ Pull the material out from under the carriage.
♦ Turn the unit on and feed your material into the cutterhead.
