and , if used, pressing the Fence (37) against the workpiece to control the width of
cut, feed the Planer slowly until the Rear Base Plate (43) contacts the wood stock.
Then, transfer pressure to the Rear Base Plate, and continue planing slowly to the
end of the cut. Do not pull the Planer backwards over the surface already cut.
If necessary, repeat Step #6, using progressively deeper cuts until you near the 7.
desired depth.
Adjust the Depth Adjustment Knob (24) to make a light cut for the final pass to help 8.
the workpiece to have a cleaner finish.
NOTE:9. The Planer’s Motor may stall if the tool is improperly used (pressed forward
too quickly at too deep a planing depth). If the Motor begins to stall, reduce the
speed at which you are making the cut and/or reduce the depth of the cut.
When finished planing, carefully lift the planer from the workpiece and release the 10.

rabbeting, the Rabbet Depth Gauge (17)
will contact the unplaned portion of the
workpiece and help you avoid planing
deeper than needed.
The Rabbet Depth Gauge needs to be 2.
