PRIOR TO OPERATION
1. Power source:
Ensure that the power source to be utilized con-
forms to the power requirements specified on the
product nameplate.
2. Power switch:
Ensure that the power switch is in the OFF position.
If the plug is connected to a receptacle while the
power switch is in the ON position, the power tool
will start operating immediately, inviting serious
accident.
3. Extension cord.
When the work area is removed from the power
source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness
and rated capacity. The extension cord should be
kept as short as practicable.
4. Prepare a stable wooden workstand suitable for
planing operation. As a poorly balanced workstand
creates a hazard, ensure it is securely positioned
on firm, level ground.
PLANING PROCEDURES
1. Adjusting the cutter depth:
(1) Turn the knob in the direction indicated by the
arrow in Fig.5 (clockwise), until the triangular mark
is aligned with the desired cutting depth on the
scale. The scale unit is graduated in millimeters.
900 W*
92 mm
3 mm
4 kg
12000/min.
(2) The cutting depth can be adjusted within a range
of 0-3 mm.
2. Surface cutting:
Rough cutting should be accomplished at large
cutting depth and at a suitable speed so that shavings
are smoothly ejected from the machine. To ensure
a smoothly finished surface, finish cutting should
be accomplished at small cutting depth and at low
speed.
3. Beginning and ending the cutting operation:
As shown in Fig.6, place the front base of the planer
on the workpiece and support the planer horizon-
tally. Turn ON the power switch, and slowly operate
the planer toward the leading edge of the workpiece.
Firmly depress the front half of the planer at the
first stage of cutting and, as shown in Fig.7, depress
the rear half of the planer at the end of the cutting
operation. The planer must always be kept flat
throughout the entire cutting operation.
4. Precaution after finishing the planing operation:
When the planer is suspended with one hand after
finishing 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.
CUTTER BLADE ASSEMBLY AND DISASSEM-
BLY AND ADJUSTMENT OF CUTTER BLADE
HEIGHT
1. Cutter blade disassembly:
(1) As shown in Fig.8, use the accessory box wrench
to withdraw the three bolts used to retain the cutter
blade, and remove the cutter blade holder.
(2) As shown in Fig.9, slide the rear of the cutter blade
in the direction indicated by the arrow to disas-
semble the cutter blade.
CAUTION
Be careful not to injure your hands.
It is not necessary to disassemble the back metal
from the cutter blade. (See Fig.10)
Disassembling the back metal from the cutter
blade is to be made only at grinding the cutter
blade.
2. Cutter blade assembly:
CAUTION
Prior to assembly, thoroughly wipe off all swarf
accumulated on the cutter blade.
(1) Turn the cutter block flat surface sideways, and
assembly the adjusted cutter blade as shown in
Fig.11. Ensuring that the leaf spring on the cutter
