The Guide:
1. The Guide (64) can be used to adjust the width of cut, support the Planer, and
keep the Planer from drifting away from the cut line (i.e., the edge of a door).
The Guide may be attached either to the right side of the Planer or on its left
side. To do so, position the Planer on the wood stock that is to be cut. Loosen
the Screw (47) located at the front of the Planer. Insert the Guide into the mount-
ing hole located on either side toward the front of the Planer. Slide the Guide in
until it contacts the edge of the wood stock. Then, lock the Guide in place by
retightening the Screw. (See Figure F.)

To Make A Cut:
1. CAUTION! Make sure the Trigger (16) is in its “OFF” position, and that the
Planer is unplugged from its 120 volt, grounded, electrical outlet. Then, make any
necessary adjustments to the cutting depth and cutting width of the Planer.
(See Figures E, and F.)
2. Whenever possible, use clamps, a vise, or other safe, practical ways to hold and
support the wood stock.
3. While standing to the
side
of the wood stock, hold the Planer
firmly
with one hand
on the handle portion of the Housing (15, 45), and the other hand on the Depth
Knob (48).
4. Set the Front Base Plate (54) of the Planer on the front edge of the wood stock.
Then, depress the Safety Lock Button (17) and squeeze the Trigger (16) to start
the Planer. IMPORTANT: Do not allow the Blades (57) of the Planer to contact
the wood stock until the Blades are spinning at full speed.
(See Figure G, next page.)
5. While placing pressure on the Front Base Plate (54) to control the depth of cut,
and while placing pressure on the Guide (64) against the wood stock to control
the width of cut, feed the Planer slowly until the Rear Base Plate (61) contacts
