Unplug the planer before changing accessories. Before plugging
the planer in, check that the trigger lock is OFF. Accidental start-
ups can occur if plugged in while changing an accessory.
After changing blades, rotate the blade drum to make sure the
blades are not hitting any part of the housing and that the blade
locking screws are tight. Spinning blades could strike the tool
housing and damage the tool as well as causing possible injury.
Do not use dull or damaged blades. Sharp blades must be handled
with care. Damaged blades can snap during use.
Do not pull the plane backward over the work piece. Loss of
control can occur.
Do not apply any sideways or twisting force to the blade whilst
cutting.
Never force the planer. Forcing the tool can cause uneven cuts,
loss of accuracy and possible kickback. Push the tool forward at
a speed so that the blade cuts without slowing.
When operating the planer, keep the cord away from the cutting
area and position it so that it will not be caught on the work piece
during the cutting operation.
Blade depth and adjusting locking knob must be tight and
secure before making cut. If blade adjustment shifts while
cutting, it may cause binding and kickback.
Always wait until the planer has come to a complete stop before
placing it down.

The EP82-58 Electric Planer is a power tool used to take off small
amounts wood by shaving it off in increments. It shaves and
shapes wood like a hand plane, a belt sander and a jointer all rolled
into one.
The blade of the planer is mounted in the middle of two metal
plates (often referred to as the ‘shoe’).
The front shoe can be adjusted (moves up & down) via a Depth
Adjustment Knob, located near the front of the planer up to a
maximum depth cut of 2 mm.
Applications of the planer includes:
Doors, to take off a little bit from the edge of the door.
Straightening out Frames;
Cutting Rabbets - Rabbets can come in handy and are typically
used in making doors, cabinets and some furniture. Using the
guide available with the planer is the best way to go and will give
you a much better (and straighter) end result.
Chamfering Edges –to chamfer edges but, not as accurate as
some other tools.

GENERAL OPERATION
WARNING! Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob or
motor housing and the other hand on the switch handle when
performing the tool.
Refer the specific instructions on page no. 5 & 6.
Secure the work piece to a stable platform. Make sure the area
planing in is stable and does not move during the process.
Hold the tool with both hands
using both grips. This ensures
optimum control over it.
Push the planer beyond edge of
the work piece without tilting it
downwards.
Turn off the planer and wait
for the blade to stop before
setting the planer down.
Switch the planer ON and wait for the blades to reach full speed.
Make sure the blades reached full speed before you start planing.
IBL EP82-58
Hold the planer firmly with both hands. Rest the front shoe flat
on the work piece surface, ensuring that the blades do not make
contact with the work.
Move the planer gently forward along the grain of the wood.
Apply pressure on the front of the planer at the beginning of the
stroke and at the rear towards the end of the stroke.
Guide the planer at a constant speed across the material to be
worked on. Do not guide the planer across the surface to be
planed too fast. Allow it enough time to plane the surface.
The feed rate and the depth of cutting determines the quality
of the finish. Reduce the depth of the cut to achieve a smoother
finish. For a rough cutting, the depth of cut should be increased
as well.

A rabbet is a recess or groove cut into the edge of a piece of wood.
This is two-sided and open to the edge or end of the surface into
which it is cut.
To make a stepped cut (rabbeting), use the edge fence (guide rule
provided with the product). Insert the edge fence into the hole (5) in
the front of the tool. Align the blade edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the fence until it comes in contact with the side of the
work piece, then secure it by tightening the wing nut (4).
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the
side of the work piece.
Maximum rabbeting depth is 10 mm.
RABBETING
A chamfer is an angled cut made across the corner of a material.
The V-groove in the front shoe allow you to create a sloping edge
along the corner of your work.
To make a chamfering cut, align the V-groove with the edge of the
work and plane it.

Keep the planer clean. Keep the ventilation slots clean and free
from obstructions. If possible, blow compressed air into the vents
to clear any internal dust (safety goggles must be worn when under-
taking this process). Accumulation of dust in the motor or on the
base may cause a malfunction of the tool.
Never use chemical cleaners to clean your tool.
Wipe it clean with a dry cloth.
We recommend using the original package for covering the
product or suitable means to protect it against dust.
Before and after each use, check the product and accessories (or
attachments) for wear and damage.
Inspecting planer blade; Check the cutting blade carefully for
cracks or dull/damage before and after each use. Continuing to
use a dull blade may cause a dangerous kickback and/or motor
overload. Dressing could be suitable or replace with a new blade
as soon as it no longer cuts effectively.

Sharpening the planer blades:
-Use the sharpening holder (an optional accessory) to remove
nicks and produce a fine edge.
-First, loosen the wing nut on the holder and insert the blades
so that they contact the sides. Then tighten the wing nuts.
-Hold the holder so that the both blades contact the dressing
stone (silicon carbide or any other abrasive stone) for better &
simultaneous sharpening at the same angle.
(Immerse the stone in water for 2 or 3 min before sharpening)
Inspecting the supply cord; Do not pull or carry the planer by
the electric cord or allow its contact with edges, sharp elements,
rough surfaces, oil or chemicals that may damage its flexible and
insulating properties.
Inspecting carbon brushes; The motor employs carbon brushes
which are consumable parts. Keep the brushes clean so that they
move freely on the support.
Remove and check the carbon brushes
quite often. Replace when they wear
down to an extended limit since an
excessively worn carbon brush results
in motor trouble. Use only identical
carbon brushes.
Both carbon brushes should be
replaced at the same time.
This product does not contain any parts that can be repaired
by the consumer. Contact an authorised service centre or a
similarly qualified person to have it checked and repaired.
