Work Area
Keep your work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive
atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.
Keep by-standers, children, and visitors
away while operating a power tool.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Electrical Safety
Double Insulated tools are equipped with a
polarized plug (one blade is wider than the
other.) This plug will fit in a polarized outlet
only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install a polarized outlet. Do not change
the plug in any way. Double Insulation
eliminates the need for the three wire
grounded power cord and grounded power
supply system. Before plugging in the tool, be
certain the outlet voltage supplied is within the
voltage marked on the nameplate. Do not use
“AC only” rated tools with a DC power supply.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators. There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is grounded. If
operating the power tool in damp locations is
unavoidable, a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
must be used to supply the power to your
tool. Electrician’s rubber gloves and footwear
will further enhance your personal safety.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet
conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord
to carry the tools or pull the plug from an
outlet. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp
edges or moving parts. Replace damaged
cords immediately. Damaged cords increase
the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use
an outdoor extension cord marked "W-A"
or "W." These cords are rated for outdoor use
and reduce the risk of electric shock. Refer to
“Recommended sizes of Extension Cords” in
the Accessory section of this manual.
Personal Safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts. Keep
handles dry, clean and free from oil and
grease.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is
“OFF” before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch “ON” invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool “ON”. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be
used for appropriate conditions.
Tool Use and Care
Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead to
loss of control.

WARNING
Power Tool Safety Rules
-3-
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it
“ON” or “OFF”. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and
other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control. Any alteration or
modification is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous condition.
Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the tools
operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. Develop a
periodic maintenance schedule for your tool.
Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool, may become hazardous when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service must be performed only by
qualified repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury. For
example: internal wires may be misplaced or
pinched, safety guard return springs may be
improperly mounted.
When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury. Certain cleaning
agents such as gasoline, carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage plastic parts.
Safety Rules for Planers
Secure the material being planed. Never
hold it in your hand or across legs. Small
workpiece must be adequately secured so
that the rotating planer blades will not pick it
up during forward motion of the planer.
Unstable support can cause the blades to
bind causing loss of control and injury.
Always start the plane before blade is in
contact with the workpiece and allow the
blade to come to full speed. Tool can
vibrate or chatter if blade speed is too slow
at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Check the workpiece for nails, if there are
nails, either remove or set them well
below intended finished surface. If the
planer blades strike objects like nails it may
cause the tool to kickback and serious
personal injury may result.
Unplug the planer before changing
accessories. Before plugging the tool in,
check that the trigger lock is "OFF".
Accidental start-ups may occur if planer is
plugged in while changing an accessory.
After changing blades, rotate the blade
cylinder (cutter drum) to make sure
blades are not hitting any part of the
blade head housing and the blade locking
screws are tight. Spinning blades could
strike tool housing and damage tool as well
as possible injury.
Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands for maximum control.
Never pull the plane backward over the
workpiece. Loss of control may occur.
Do not put fingers or any objects into the
chip ejector or clean out chips while tool
is running. Contact with blade drum will
cause injury.
Remove plug from power source if it
becomes necessary to remove chips. The
blades are hidden from view and you may be
cut if blade is contacted.
Never place the plane down until the
blade is completely at rest. Surface
contact with coasting blade drum may cause
the plane to walk out of control.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to
cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment,
such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Assembly
CHIP EXTRACTION
The planer comes with two chip exhaust
ports, which may be used with a chip bag
(Fig.2) or a shop vacuum and vacuum
connector (Fig.3) to keep your work
environment cleaner. The chip bag or
vacuum connector may be attached to either
end of the exhaust port.
Moving the port selector lever to position 1
(towards front of tool) discharges chips to
the left, while position 2 (towards rear of
tool) discharges chips to the right (Fig. 1)
PLANER BLADES
The planer blades are sharp
and fragile and must be
handled carefully to avoid injury to the user
or damage to the blades.
The planer blades have two cutting edges,
and may be reversed when one of the
cutting edges becomes dull or chipped.
Do not attempt to sharpen or use
resharpened used blades of any kind. Use
only blades designated for use with this
model, because other blades will cause
vibration, decrease perfomance and may not
clamp securely in blade holder.
REVERSING OR REPLACING BLADES
To reverse or replace the blade, loosen the
clamping screws with blade wrench. With
the screws loosened, slide the blade
lengthwise out of the cutter drum, taking
care to keep your fingers away from the
sharp edges of the blade (Fig. 4).
A piece of wood may be used for this
purpose. If the blade is gummed and
difficult to remove, you may clean the blade
with mineral spirits, lacquer thinner or
alcohol.
Clean all surfaces before reinstalling the new
blade, as this will ensure an accurate blade
setting and proper tool performance.
BLADE ALIGNMENT
To ensure an even cut, it is important that
the blade is adjusted so that it aligns with
the outside edge of the front and rear shoes.
This alignment can be done as follows: place
a straight edge or a piece of wood along the
outside surface of the front shoe and rear
shoe, then slide the planer blade to just
contact the straight edge or wood (Fig.5).
Make sure the blade sits correctly in the
holder groove of the cutter drum.
You may then tighten the clamping screws
which secure the blade and your planer is
ready for use.

Operating Instructions
TRIGGER "ON/OFF" SWITCH
Hold the tool with both
hands while starting the
tool, since torque from the motor can cause
the tool to twist.
To turn tool "ON", depress the "Lock-OFF"
button and squeeze the trigger switch. To
turn the tool "OFF", release the trigger
switch which is spring loaded and will return
to "OFF" position automatically.
To increase switch life, do not turn switch on
and off while tool and drum are held against
a workpiece.
PLANING ACTION
Check that the workpiece is held in place
securely on your work surface, and standing
comfortably, hold the planer firmly with both
hands. With the planer fully adjusted, place
the front shoe on the workpiece, (be certain
that the cutter drum is not in contact with
the work) and start the planer as described
earlier. With pressure on the front shoe, and
the fence against the side of the work (to
control the width or angle,) feed the planer
steadily until the rear shoe fully engages the
workpiece. Now gradually transfer pressure
to the rear shoe, and continue planing to the
end of the cut. Feed the planer at a uniform
and reasonable rate, which does not put
excessive strain on the motor or blades, (do
not pull the planer back over the surface
already cut.) Use progressive cuts until you
are near the desired depth, and then readjust to a light cut for the final pass to
obtain a good surface finish.
The motor may stall if
improperly used or
overloaded. Reduce the pressure (feed rate)
or depth of cut to prevent possible damage
to the tool if the motor labors.
!
CAUTION
TOOL PARK REST
The park swings down to help keep the
blade from coming in contact with the work
surface when plane is not in use (Fig. 6). The
tool park rest was designed to swing up and
out of the way by it itself when the back of
the plane crosses the leading edge of the
workpiece (Fig. 7).
ADJUSTING DEPTH OF CUT
Proper cutting depth should be determined
according to the hardness, gumminess or
moisture content of the material being cut,
as well as the feed rate, and is largely a
matter of experience. Start with a light cut
and increase the depth setting if the plane
moves freely through the workpiece with no
excessive load on the motor. Do not change
depth of cut while planing.
The cutting depth is determined by the
difference in height between the adjustable
front shoe, and the fixed rear shoe of the
planer. As the front shoe is adjusted, it
retracts and exposes the blade, which can
then remove the desired amount from the
workpiece. The cutting depth is graduated
from 0 to 5/64 of an inch, and the "0"
indicates the blade is fully retracted.
Adjusting depth of cut: Rotate depth
adjustment knob until the indicator engages
the detent which indicates the desired
cutting depth on the depth scale (Fig. 1).
The planer may be set to cut any depth from
0 to 5/64 of an inch.
STANDARD PARALLEL WIDTH
GUIDE FENCE
The width guide fence can be used to cut
various desired widths (Fig. 1).
Installing the guide fence: Place the wing
knob through the appropriate hole in the
guide bracket and screw into the housing.
Securely tighten wing knob.
FIG. 6
!
WARNING
FIG. 7

Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob
and slide the fence along the guide bracket
to the desired position. Securely tighten
wing knob. Be certain that the flat washer
(supplied) is fitted between the bottom of the
guide fence and wing knob or the guide
fence is likely to slip.
DELUXE ANGLE FENCE
The optional deluxe angle fence (Fig. 8) can
be used to cut various desired widths, with
the additional capability of guiding the planer
on any angle up to 45 degrees, to allow
edge chamfering (Fig. 9).
Installing the angle fence: Place the wing
knob through the appropriate hole in the
guide bracket and screw into the housing.
Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).
Setting the cutting width: Loosen wing knob
and using the width scale, slide the fence
along the guide bracket to the desired
position. Securely tighten wing knob (Fig. 1).
Setting the cutting angle: Loosen round
knobs and pivot the fence to the desired
position. Securely tighten round knobs (Fig. 1).
Note that the adjustable front shoe contains
a chamfer V-groove, which will follow the
corner of a workpiece to allow easier
handling when using the deluxe angle/width
fence (Fig. 9).
RABBETING DEPTH STOP
The optional rabbeting depth stop accessory
(Fig. 1) allows the user to set any rabbeting
depth from 0 to 5/16 inch. For best results, it
is important that the blade be properly
aligned (See "BLADE ALIGNMENT"). The
width of the rabbet is controlled by the width
fence. The maximum cutting width is 3-1/4",
and the final depth is achieved by repetitive
cutting until the rabbeting depth guide
contacts the workpiece. The maximum
rabbeting depth is 5/16"
Setting the rabbet depth: Loosen wing knob
and using the depth scale on the rabbeting
depth stop, set the desired rabbet depth.
Securely tighten wing knob.

DRIVE BELT
The drive belt is a normal maintenance part
and should be inspected periodically for
wear. If the drive belt shows signs of drying
out, cracking or tearing, it should be
replaced. If the drive belt will not track
properly or comes off the pulleys, it should
be replaced.
Installing new drive belt: Loosen screw and
remove the drive belt cover. Cut and
remove the worn drive belt. Before installing
the new drive belt, clean both pulleys
thoroughly. First place the new drive belt
onto the drive pulley then rotate clockwise
while pushing the belt onto the driven pulley.
