PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
Your electric tool is precision built and manufactured t o satisfy the highest standards. For maximum
performance, long tool life, and your safety, follow these instructions carefully.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be
sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source
with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result i n SERIOUS INJURY t o the user
-
as
well
as
damage to the tool. I f in doubt, DO NOT PLUG I N THE TOOL. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating
is
harmful t o the motor.

After you switch on the tool by pulling the trigger, h a i t until the planer is running a t
top speed before bringing it into contact with the wood. Planing will be easier if you
incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill.

First, rest the tool front shoe flat upon
the work surface. Switch on, then move
the planer gently forward. Apply pres-

For Fine Finishes
The speed and volume of planing determine the kind of finish. The power planer keeps
cutting a t a speed that will not result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the vol-
ume
is
upped, while for a good finish
you
should cut less and advance the tool more
slowly.
