Use the stopper when you need to plane many
workpieces to the same thickness. To do so, proceed as
follows.
1. Turn the crank handle until the indicator plate
points to the scale graduation indicating the
desired finished dimension.
2. Depress the stopper button and lower the stopper
until it just contacts the table top.
3. If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn the
stopper knob.
CAUTION:
When the stopper is not in use, always raise it to
•
the topmost position. Never force the crank handle
when the stopper is in contact with the table top.
This may cause tool damage.

installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from
the blades and to prevent damage to the blades.
They are razor-sharp.
Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter

cutting action and eventually, tool breakdown.
Replace both blades at the same time.

The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge on
•
both sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull,
you can use the other cutting edge. Always remove
resin and dirt sticking to the reverse side of the
blade before using the other cutting edge. This
blade must not be re-sharpened. When both cutting
edges become dull, the blade should be carefully
