OPERATION
AUTOMATIC REAR STAND
See Figure 11.
The planer has been equipped with an automatic rear stand
that will prevent the blade from contacting the workbench
when not in use. As you begin your planing operation, the
stand will automatically retract as it passes over the edge
of the workpiece. When setting the planer down on your
workbench, the rear stand will automatically pivot down to
prevent the blade from making any contact.
WARNING:
Make sure the automatic rear stand operates freely
at all times and that the area surrounding the stand
is clear of debris. Failure to do so could result in
serious personal injury.
PLANING DEPTH
See Figure 12.
Always work from a rough cut to a finish cut. The approximate
setting for rough planing is 1/32 in. For finish planing use
a setting of approximately 1/64 in. Make test cuts in scrap
wood after each adjustment to make sure that the planer is
removing the desired amount of wood.
To set the planing depth:
Make sure the lock-off button is in the center position.
NOTE: The switch automatically locks when the lock-off
button is not depressed to the left or the right.
Turn the depth adjustment knob to the desired setting.
NOTE: To protect the blades during storage, transporting,
etc., set the depth adjustment to 0.
