USING THE PLANER

1. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform.

2. Hold the planer firmly with both

hands.

3. Rest the front shoe flat on the

workpiece surface, ensuring that

the blades do not make contact

with the workpiece.

4. Switch the planer ON and wait for

the blades to reach full speed.

5. Move the planer gently forward

along the grain of the wood.

Apply pressure on the front of the

planer at the beginning of the

stroke and at the rear of the

planer towards the end of the

stroke.

NOTE: The feed rate and the depth

of cutting determine the quality of the finish. Reduce the depth of

the cut to achieve a smoother finish.

6. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it

downwards.

7. Turn off the planer and wait for the blade to stop before setting the planer

down.

WARNING: WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES AT ALL TIMES. USE EAR PROTECTION

SUCH AS PLUGS OR EAR DEFENDERS DURING EXTENDED PERIODS OF

OPERATION. WEAR A DUST MASK.
