For your personal safety, READ and UNDERSTAND before using.

5. Avoid body contact with grounded sur-  
faces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and  
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of  
electric shock if your body is grounded.  
14. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye  
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety  
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must  
be used for appropriate conditions. Ordinary  
eye or sun glasses are NOT eye protection.  
6. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet  
conditions. Water entering a power tool will  
increase the risk of electric shock.  
Tool Use and Care  
15. Use clamps or other practical way to  
secure and support the workpiece to a  
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or  
against your body is unstable and may lead  
to loss of control.  
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord  
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an  
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil,  
sharp edges or moving parts. Replace  
damaged cords immediately. Damaged  
cords increase the risk of electric shock.  
16. Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for  
your application. The correct tool will do the  
job better and safer at the rate for which it is  
designed.  
8. When operating a power tool outside, use  
an outdoor extension cord marked W-A”  
or W. These cords are rated for outdoor  
use and reduce the risk of electric shock.  
17. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it  
on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled  
with the switch is dangerous and must be  
repaired.  
Personal Safety  
9. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and  
use common sense when operating a  
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or  
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or  
medication. A moment of inattention while  
operating power tools may result in serious  
personal injury.  
18. Disconnect the plug from the power  
source before making any adjustments,  
changing accessories, or storing the tool.  
Such preventive safety measures reduce the  
risk of starting the tool accidentally.  
19. Store idle tools out of reach of children  
and other untrained persons. Tools are  
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.  
10. Dress properly. Do not wear loose cloth-  
ing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep  
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from  
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or  
long hair can be caught in moving parts.  
20. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting  
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained  
tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely  
to bind and are easier to control.  
11. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch  
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with  
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools  
that have the switch on invites accidents.  
21. Check for misalignment or binding of  
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any  
other condition that may affect the tools  
operation. If damaged, have the tool ser-  
viced before using. Many accidents are  
caused by poorly maintained tools.  
12. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches  
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a  
key that is left attached to a rotating part of  
the tool may result in personal injury.  
22. Use only accessories that are recom-  
mended by the manufacturer for your  
model. Accessories that may be suitable for  
one tool, may become hazardous when used  
on another tool.  
13. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing  
and balance at all times. Proper footing and  
balance enables better control of the tool in  
unexpected situations.

24. When servicing a tool, use only identical  
replacement parts. Follow instructions in  
the Maintenance section of this manual.  
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow  
Maintenance instructions may create a risk of  
electric shock or injury.  
SERVICE  
23. Tool service must be performed only by  
qualified repair personnel. Service or main-  
tenance performed by unqualified personnel  
could result in a risk of injury.  
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD: Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.  
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your  
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of  
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and  
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-  
ber, the heavier the cord.

To install the blades, 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, causing poor planing action and, eventually, tool  
breakdown.

For the correct planer blade setting  
Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless  
the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be  
mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is,  
parallel to the surface of the rear base.  
Below are some examples of proper and improper settings.  
EN0004-1  
(A) Front base (Movable shoe)  
(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)  
Although this side view cannot  
show it, the edges of the blades  
run perfectly parallel to the rear  
base surface.  
Correct setting  
(A)  
(B)  
Cause: One or both blades fails to  
have edge parallel to rear  
base line.  
Nicks in surface  
Gouging at start  
Cause: One or both blade edges  
fails to protrude enough in  
relation to rear base line.  
(A)  
(A)  
(B)  
(B)  
Cause: One or both blade edges  
protrudes too far in relation  
to rear base line.

OPERATION  
001608  
Planing operation

1
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface  
without the blades making any contact. Switch on and wait  
until the blades attain full speed. Then move the tool gently  
forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool at the start of  
planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be  
easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so  
that you can plane somewhat downhill.  
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The  
power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in  
jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be  
increased, while for a good finish you should reduce the  
depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
