MOTOR
Be sure your power supply agrees with nameplate marking. Do not operate AC tools on DC. This information is printed
on the nameplate. All Black & Decker tools are factory-tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply.
USE OF EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure the extension cord is in good condition before using. Always use the proper size extension cords with the tool – that is,
proper wire size for various lengths of cord and heavy enough to carry the current the tool will draw. Use of an undersized cord
will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. For proper size cords see chart below.
ASSEMBLY
Warning: Make sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged when performing the following Assembly steps.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADES (FIG. A)
The cutting blades provided with this tool are reversible. An extra set of blades is included. Replacement cutting blades
can be obtained from your local retailer.
REMOVING
• Loosen the bolts (6) using the wrench supplied.
• Slide the blade (7) out of the holder.
• Reverse the blade so that the unused side comes in position. If both sides are worn, the blade must be replaced.
FITTING
• Slide the blade into the holder until it is against the end stop.
• Tighten the bolts using the wrench supplied.
• Always replace both cutters.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG. B)
The depth of cut is indicated by the marking (8). The setting range can be read from the graduation (5).
• Turn the planing depth adjustment knob (4) to the required depth of cut.
• To prevent damage to the blade, turn the knob to the 'P' (park) position whenever the tool is not in use.
NOTE: 10 positive stops indicate 1/32" increase in cut for accurate measurement. The maximum depth of cut
is 5/64". It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood after each readjustment to make sure that the
desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer. Several shallow passes will produce a smoother finish
than one deep one.
FITTING AND REMOVING THE PARALLEL FENCE (FIG. C)
The parallel fence is used to for optimum control on narrow workpieces.
• Loosen the locking knob (9).
• Insert the parallel fence (11) through the opening (10).
• Slide the parallel fence into the desired position.
• Tighten the locking knob.
• To remove the parallel fence proceed in reverse order.
CONNECTING A VACUUM CLEANER TO THE TOOL (FIG. D)
• Slide the adaptor (12) over the shavings discharge outlet (3).
• Connect a vacuum cleaner hose (13) (not included) to the adaptor.
ASSEMBLING AND FITTING THE SHAVINGS COLLECTION BAG (FIG. E)
The shavings collection bag is particularly useful when working in confined spaces. Before first use, you will have
to assemble the shavings collection bag.
• Fit the wire frames (14) to the connecting plate (15) using the screws (16) and washers (17).
• Pull the cloth bag (18) over the frame structure as shown.
• Take care that the bag opening (19) is well fitted around the edge of the connecting plate (15).
• Slide the connecting plate over the shavings discharge outlet (3).
OPERATION
• Adjust the depth of cut.
• If necessary, fit and adjust the parallel fence.
• Use sharp cutters only.
SWITCHING ON AND OFF
Switching on (Always pick up your planer before depressing the switch.)
• The planer is started by depressing the on/off switch (1) in the handle.
• To LOCK the tool ON, for continuous use, hold the trigger depressed and push in the locking button (2).
Hold the button in while gently releasing the trigger.
SWITCHING OFF
• Release the on/off switch. Wait for the blades to stop before setting down.
• To turn the tool OFF from a locked-on position, depress and release the trigger once.
PLANING
• Hold the tool with the nose piece of the shoe resting on top of the workpiece surface.
• Switch the tool on.
• Move the tool steadily forward to perform the cutting stroke.
• Switch the tool off after the stroke has been completed.
RABBETING (FIG. F)
• Fit and adjust the parallel fence.
• Proceed as for planing.
CHAMFERING EDGES
The V-groove in the nose piece of the shoe enables you to chamfer edges at 45 angles.
• Hold the tool at an angle with the groove around the edge of the workpiece and perform the cutting stroke.
• It is a good idea to try a piece of scrap wood before doing finish work.
EMPTYING THE SHAVINGS COLLECTION BAG
The shavings collection bag should be emptied regularly while using it.
• Unzip the bag and empty it before continuing.
HINTS FOR OPTIMUM USE
• Move the tool along the grain of the wood.
• If the grain is cross or curly, or if the workpiece material is a hard type of wood, adjust the depth of cut to take only
a very thin shaving at each pass and take several passes to achieve the desired result.
• To keep the tool in a straight line, press down the front of the tool at the start, and press down the back of the tool
at the end of the cutting stroke.
REPLACING THE DRIVE BELT (FIG. G)
• Loosen the screws (20) and remove the cover (21).
• Remove the old drive belt.
• Place the new belt (22) over the pulleys. Place the belt over the large pulley (23) first, then over the small pulley
(24), while manually rotating the belt steadily.
• Put the cover back in place and tighten the screws.
