The planer can be locked from unauthorized use by
locking the switch. To lock the switch:
• Turn the switch to OFF position and disconnect plan-
er from power source.

• To replace key, slide key into the slot on switch until
it snaps.
CIRCUIT BREAKER
Refer to Figure 7.
The planer is equipped with a motor protection
device-circuit breaker. The breaker will automatically
shut the planer off when excessive current is consumed.
If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer off and reset
the circuit by pressing the button.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer off prior to reset-
ting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up of
the planer.
DEPTH OF CUT
Refer to Figure 9.
Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a
desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel
to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness which
the planer will produce is indicated by the scale.
Depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the
rollercase using handle.
