PLANING PROCEDURES
1. Operation of switch (Fig. 10)
(1) For safe operation of the machine, a "switch lock" is
provided on the side of a handle.
If the "switch trigger" is pulled in a state where "switch
lock" is pressed in the direction of the arrow mark, the
main switch can be turned ON.
(2) After the switch is turned ON, even when you release
your hand from the switch lock, the body continues
running and the light continues being turned ON as long
as you keep on pulling the switch trigger.
(3) If you release the switch trigger, you can turn OFF the
switch and the "switch lock" returns to the original
position automatically.
CAUTION
Do not fi x and secure the switch lock. Besides, keep
your fi nger off the switch trigger when the planer is
being carried around. Otherwise, the main body switch
can be inadvertently turned ON, resulting in unexpected
accidents.
2. About remaining battery indicator
When pressing the remaining battery indicator switch,
the remaining battery indicator lamp lights and the
battery remaining power can be checked. (Fig. 11)
When releasing your fi nger from the remaining battery
indicator switch, the remaining battery indicator lamp
goes off . The Table 4 shows the state of remaining
battery indicator lamp and the battery remaining power.
State of lamp
The battery remaining power is enough.
The battery remaining power is a half.
The battery remaining power is nearly
empty.
Re-charge the battery soonest possible.
As the remaining battery indicator shows somewhat
diff erently depending on ambient temperature and battery
characteristics, read it as a reference.
NOTE
○ Do not give a strong shock to the switch panel or break it.
It may lead to a trouble.
○ To save the battery power consumption, the remaining
battery indicator lamp lights while pressing the remaining
battery indicator switch.
3. Adjusting the cutter depth
(1) Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the arrow in
Fig. 12 (clockwise), until the triangular mark is aligned
with the desired cutting depth on the scale. The scale unit
is graduated in millimeters.
(2) The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range of 0-2.0
mm.
4. Surface cutting
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large cutting
depths and at a suitable speed so that shavings are
smoothly ejected from the machine.
To ensure a smoothly fi nished surface, fi nish cutting
should be accomplished at small cutting depths and at
low feeding speed.

Battery Remaining Power
5. Beginning and ending the cutting operation
As shown in Fig. 13, place the front base of the planer on
the material and support the planer horizontally. Turn ON
the power switch, and slowly operate the planer toward
the leading edge of the material. Firmly depress the front
half of the planer at the fi rst stage of cutting, as shown in
Fig. 14, depress the rear half of the planer at the end of
the cutting operation. The planer must always be kept fl at
throughout the entire cutting operation.
6. Precaution after fi nishing the planing operation
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
fi nishing the planing operation, ensure that the cutting
blades (base) of the planer do not contact or come too
near your body. Failure to do so could result in serious
injury.
7. Stand
Lift the back of the planer to extend the foot from the
base. Having the stand extended when you put the
planer down prevents contact between the blade and the
material. (Fig. 15)
8. Regulating the guide (Fig. 16)
The planing position can be regulated by moving the
guide to the left or right after loosening its set screw. The
guide may be mounted on either the right or left side of
the tool.
Work Precautions
○ About Continuous Operation
This tool is provided with a protective function to extend
battery life.
The battery may become overheated during continuous
operation or deep cutting operations, which may cause it
to automatically stop.
Especially with any of the batteries listed below, the tool
may stop operation before the battery starts to get hot to
prevent rapid failure from overheating.
If this happens, stop operation, remove the battery from
the tool and leave it in a well-ventilated location not
exposed to sunlight until it is suffi ciently cool.
The battery can be used again once it is cool.
(Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415,
BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries)
○ Proper Battery Usage
When the tool is used with any of the batteries listed
below, it should be used for light work to extend battery
life.
Work example: Shallow depth fi nishing and chamfering
work
(Applicable batteries: BSL1425, BSL1420, BSL1415,
BSL1825, BSL1820, BSL1815 and old batteries)
CARBIDE BLADE ASSEMBLY AND
DISASSEMBLY AND ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTER
BLADE HEIGHT (FOR DOUBLE EDGED BLADE
TYPE)
1. Carbide blade disassembly
CAUTION
○ To prevent accidents, ensure that the power tool is
switched off and pull out the battery.
○ Be careful not to injure your hands.
(1) As shown in Fig. 17, loosen the blade holder with the
attached box wrench.
(2) As shown in Fig. 18, remove the carbide blade by sliding
it with the attached box wrench.
2. Carbide blade assembly
CAUTION
○ To prevent accidents, ensure that the power tool is
switched off and pull out the battery.
○ Prior to assembly, thoroughly wipe off all swarf
accumulated on the carbide blade.
