The nozzle assembly may be attached after the chip cover
on the tool body is removed. When slipping on the assembly,
fit the pin on it into the rear cover hole. Use the chip cover
screws to fasten it in place.
OPERATION
Planing operation
First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece surface
without the blades making any contact. Switch on and wait
until the blades attain full speed. Then move the tool gently
forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool at the start of
planing, and at the back at the end of planing. Planing will be
easier if you incline the workpiece in stationary fashion, so
that you can plane somewhat downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. The
power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not result in
jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of cut can be
increased, while for a good finish you should reduce the
depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly.
Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge
fence (guide rule).
