To decrease the depth of cut, turn the
Depth Knob counterclockwise. Always
return the Depth Knob to read 0 on the
Dial (51) when finished cutting.
nOtE: Use a deeper cut, but never to
exceed 1/16”, for a rough cut piece
of wood stock. Once planed smooth,
it is recommended to take a number
of smaller cuts to acquire the desired
depth.

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
mounting 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.
Work Piece and Work area Set up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and
well-lit. The work area must not allow
access by children or pets to prevent
distraction and injury.
2. Route the power cord along a safe
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage. The
power cord must reach the work area
with enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.
3. Secure loose work pieces using a vise
or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working.
4. There must not be objects, such as utility
lines, nearby that will present a hazard
while working.
