► 1 . Start 2. End 3. Knob 4. Switch handle
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.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).

► 1 . Blade edge 2. Cutting line
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge
fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the
blade edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the
side of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening the
screw.
► 1 . Screw 2. Edge fence
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the
side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planing may result.
Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 20mm.
You may wish to add to the length of the fence by
attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes
are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for
attaching an extension guide (optional accessory).
CAUTION:
• The blade edge should be made to protrude
outside slightly (0.3 mm - 0.6 mm). Otherwise,
nicks and generally poor shiplapping results.
