surface without the planer blades making any contact.
3. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed.
4. Gently move the tool forwards, applying slightly
more downwards pressure on the depth adjustment
knob at the start so as to keep the entire planer base
level and even with the workpiece surface.
► Fig.33
5. Use care to apply pressure evenly over the work-
piece surface in the middle of operation, and push the
tool steadily forwards.
► Fig.34
NOTE: Balance hand pressure between the switch
handle and depth adjustment knob as both the front
and rear bases contact the workpiece surface.
6. Apply greater control on the switch handle to avoid
overreaching at the end of a pass since the front base
will drop o󰀨 the workpiece surface.
► Fig.35
NOTE: Planing can be easier if you position the work-
piece at a slight forward tilt so you ease up on the
pressure to hold the tool during operation.
NOTE: Adjust the cutting speed and depth for your
desired surface nishes.
For rough nish, set the cutting depth su󰀩ciently
deep enough on workpiece.
For neat and ne nish, push the tool slowly with
shallow cutting depth and make more passes.
