Planing operation
002579
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
2
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 cut-
ting, 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)
002580
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule).
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge fence into the hole in the
002582
front of the tool. Align the blade edge with the cutting line.
