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)
002580
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide
(accessory).
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.

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven
planing may result.

The blade edge should be made to protrude

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).
