It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood after
each re-adjustment to make sure that the desired amount of
wood is being removed by the planer. Several shallow passes
(rather than one deep one) will produce a smoother finish.
PLANING (Figs. D, E and F)
Warning! Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to
possible loss of control and serious injury.
Caution! Allow the tool to reach full speed before touching
tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the work surface
before turning the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the
front handle (3) and the other hand on the switch handle (4) as
shown in Fig. D. Place the front of the shoe (5) on the surface
to be planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not
touching the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle of
the planer so that the front shoe is Absolutly flat on the work
surface. Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the motor to
reach full speed before touching the planer blades to the work
surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward
pressure to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep
the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface
(Figs. D, E and F).
Planing Tip
For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of scrap wood to
the end of the piece you are planing. Don t stop planing until
the cutting blades of the planer are past your work piece and
into the scrap material.
BLADE GUARD (Fig. G)
Ensure that the spring loaded blade guard (12) is in proper
working order before using the planer.
Warning! Cut Hazard. Do not remove guard.
Vacuum Adaptor (Fig. H)
Warning! Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing accessories.
a. Slide the vac adaptor (8) over the chip discharge chute (6).
b. Connect a vacuum cleaner hose (not included) to the
adaptor.
c. To prevent chips from coming out opposite side of chip
discharge chute, move chip deflector lever (7) to the
opposite side of the adaptor.
To Change Blades (Fig. I)
Warning! Turn off and unplug the tool before making any
adjustments or removing or installing accessories.
Warning! Cut Hazard. Planer blades are sharp and must
be handled with care.
Note: The CE750 has two blades, one on each side of the
blade drum. Any operation or adjustment should be made to
both blades.
The cutting blades provided with this tool are reversible. An
extra set of blades is included.
To Remove Blade from Planer
a. Place planer upside down as shown in Fig. I.
b. Loosen the three nuts (11) using the wrench (9) supplied.
c. Rotate the blade guard (12) downward. Carefully remove
the blade (10) by sliding it out of the holder. A piece of
wood may be used for this purpose.
d. Reverse the blade so that the unused side comes in
position. If both sides are worn, the blade must be replaced.
To Reinstall Blade
a. Slide the blade sideways into the holder until it is against
the end stop. Blade groove must be toward back of unit.
b. Securely tighten the three nuts using the wrench supplied.
c. Rotate the blade drum 180˚ degrees and repeat for other
blade.
d. Always replace both blades.
PARKING FOOT (Fig. J)
Your planer is equipped with a parking foot (13) that
automatically lowers into place when the tool is lifted from the
work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises as the tool
is pushed forward. When the parking foot is lowered, the
planer can set on the work surface without the blade touching.
Caution! Do not lock the trigger switch on and engage the
parking foot. The vibration of the running motor will cause the
planer to move, possibly falling from the work piece.
EDGE CHAMFERING (Fig. K)
Your planer has three precision machined chamfering grooves
1.5mm, 2.0mm and 2.5mm (14). They are located in the front
shoe and are used for planing along a corner of the material
(Fig. K).
a. Adjust to desired depth of cut.
b. Place groove (14) over edge of material.
c. Apply weight to front of shoe so groove is flat on material
edge.
d. Hold tool with both hands keeping pressure on front handle.
Note: It s a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood
before doing finish work.
