Rabbeting
Step 1: Install FENCE as described above
Step 2: Determine the width of the desired rabbet.
Step 3: Using a ruler or other suitable device, set the fence so that only the necessary amount of
the cutterhead will plane the stock.
Step 4: Set the DEPTH KNOB to the desired cutting depth.
Chamfering
Chamfering is a delicate, free-hand operation. Practice on old stock before using on valuable
workpieces. The FENCE must be removed when chamfering.
Step 1: The FRONT FOOT (#32) as a V-groove to aid in this operation. Each side of the
V-groove must rest against the sides of the corner to be chamfered. In other words, the
corner of the stock and the V-groove must fit together.
Step 2: Do not allow cutterhead to engage stock until it has reached full speed.
Step 3: Engage motor and move planer slowly forward so that the cutterhead begins to plane.
Use slightly more pressure on both handles, move the planer very slowly, and keep a
steady hand.
MAINTENANCE
Removing & Sharpening Blades
Both BLADES (#19) must be sharpened (or
replaced) at the same time. To remove BLADES

the cutterhead assembly.
(See Figure 3.)
Step 2: Remove the BLADE HOLDER (#21).
Step 3: Gently pry up on the BLADE and remove
it from the CUTTER BLOCK (#16). Be
careful, as the blade is sharp.
