of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and other conditions that may affect
its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properlyrepairedor
replaced by an authorizedservice center unless otherwiseindicatedelsewhere inthis
instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorizedservice center.
Don't use tool ifswitchdoes notturn
it on and off.
19. GUARD AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Prevent body contact with grounded sur-
faces. Forexample; pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigeratorenclosures.
20. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use only identicalreplacementparts.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Additional Planer Safety Rules
1. Be sure thecutter blade installationboltsare securely tightened beforeoperating.
2. DO not holdhousings. Keep handsclear of bladesbelow.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting thetool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
the voltage supplied
is the same as that specified on the nameplate of thetool. A power source with
voltage greater thanthat
specified for the toolcan result in SERIOUS INJURYto the user - as well as
damage to the tool.
If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE TOOL. Using a power source withvoltage
lessthan the nameplate rating
is harmfultothe motor.

HOW TO USE
1. Planing depth (cuttingvolume) may be adjusted as desired by simply turningthe knob
(frontgrip) on the front of the power planer.
2. To start the tool, simply pull the trigger.
Release the trigger to stop. For contin-
uous operation, just pull thetrigger and
then push in the lock button with your
thumb. To stop the tool from the lock
position, just pull the trigger again and
release
it.
3. After you switch on the tool by pulling the trigger, wait untilthe planer is running at
top speed before bringing it into contact with the wood. Planing will be easier ifyou
incline the workpiece in stationary fashion,
so that you can plane somewhat downhill.
4. Starting & FinishingPlaningWork
First, rest the tool front shoe flat upon
the work surface. Switchon, then move
the planer gently forward. Appy pres-
sure on front
of tool at start of planing,
and
at the back at the end of planing.
(See photo)
5. For Fine Finishes
The speed and volume of planingdeterminethe kindof finish. The power planer keeps
cutting
at a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the
volume
is upped, while for a good finish you should but less and advance the tool
more slowly.

REPLACING OR INSTALLING
PLANER BLADES
After unpluggingthe tool, you may remove
the planer blades on the tool drum by un-
screwing the four installation bolts with
the socket wrench provided. The clamp
platecomes off together with the blades.
(See Photo)
When you install new or sharpenedblades,
first clean out
all chips or foreign matter
adhering to the drum or blades. Use blades
of the same dimensions and weight, or
drum oscillation/vibration will result, caus-
ing poor planing action and, eventually,
tool breakdown.
Screw the blade onto the adjust plate, slip
it into the groove on the drum, thenfit the
blade clamp on over
it. Fasten with hex
flange hd. bolt.
See right diagram.

Caution:Tighten carefullythe cutter blade installationboltswhen attachingcutter blades
to the planer. A loose installation bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see
they are tightenedsecurely.
Usingblade
gauge for even blade setting
Although the blade protrusion for desired cuttingdepth
is easily obtainedby turning the
front knob, the setting
of the blade itself in relationtothe work may requireadjustment.
This
is done convenientlywith the bladegauge provided.
First, remove the blade from the tool by
unscrewing the hex bolts.
Now, set the
blade on the gauge blade
so that the cut-
ting edge is completely flush with the in-
side flank of the gauge. Loosen the screws
on the adjust plate (if they are not already
so) and use the back of side plate to push
the heel of the planer blade into full con-
tact with the gauge inside flank. Holding
it thus, tighten the 2 screws on the adjust

plate. This insures that your blade tip will
be
set properly when remounted in the
tool for perfectlyeven planing.

Adjustingbladegauge itself t
,
Constant use of a bladegauge leads towear
on the inside flank, resulting in improper
settings.
To compensate for this, the blade
gauge itself must be adjusted. If, for ex-
ample, you notice
that the blade is below
the level of the rear shoe, you probablyare
not able to actually plane - so the blade
must protrude more. But, if turning the
depth knob
all the way fails to make the
blade protrude sufficinetly for planing,
n
/ Adjustingscrew
Fig.
then you have to adjust the blade gauge itself. Loosen the adjustingscrews set into the
blade gauge, turning them tothe leftuntiltheir heads contactthe inner walls of the inside
notches.
(See Fig. 5,6.) If you need more leeway for adjustmentthan the space provided
by the notch, loosen the gauge plate installationscrews on top to move the guage plate
as
required. After adjustingthe gauge plate for correct blade settings, secure the top screws
and insideadjustingscrews.
Note:
Do notturnthe adjustingscrews except at the time of this adjustment.
FOR THE CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING (ALL MODELS)
Your planing surface will end up unsmooth and not level, unless the blade is set properly
and securely. The blade must be mounted
so that thecutting edge is absolutely level, that
is, parallel to the surface of the rear base. Below are some examples of proper and im-
propersettings.

Although this side view cannot show
it, the edges ofthe baldes run perfect-
ly parallel tothe rear base surface.
Cause: One or both blades fails to
have edge parallel torear base
line.

toprotrude enough in relation

SHARPENING PLANER BLADES
Although a power planer considerably out-
performs an ordinary hand plane, by the
same token the blades become dull faster.
Always keep your blades sharp for the best
performance possible. Use the sharpening
holder (photo) to remove nicks and pro-
duce
a fine edge.
First, loosen the 2 wing nutson the holder
and insert blades
A and B as in figure at
right, so that they contact side C and D.
Thentighten wing nuts.
Immersedressing stone in water for
2 or 3
minutesbeforesharpening. Holdthe holder
so that blades both contact the dressing
stone for simultaneous sharpening at the
same angle. Stock removal
is possibleupto
7.5 mm (5/16"). Blades may be used down
to24.5"
(1").
MAINTENANCE
Carbonbrushes
Replace carbon brushes when they wear
down to about 6 mm (1/4") or sparking
will occur. Both brushesshouldbe changed
at the same time.
