FEATURES
Fig. 2
KNOW YOUR PORTABLE PLANER
See Figure 2.
Before attempting to use your planer, familiarize yourself
with all operating Features and Rules for Safe Operation.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your tool to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
15 AMP MOTOR
Your planer has a powerful 15 amp motor with sufficient
power to handle tough cutting jobs.
AUTOMATIC FEED
Infeed and outfeed rollers feed the wood through the planer.
DEPTH ADJUSTMENT HANDWHEEL
The depth adjustment handwheel is used to raise and lower
the cutter head assembly.
DEPTH GAGE
A depth gage is located on the front of your planer and
measures depth of cuts up to 1/8 in. (3 mm).
REPEAT-A-CUT™
The Repeat-A-Cut™, located on the right side of the machine
housing, has preset measurements for repetitive planing.
RESET BUTTON
Opens the power line circuit when the motor temperature
exceeds a safe level, when the motor is overloaded, or
when a lower voltage condition exists.
SCALE
Quickly check the thickness of a workpiece.
SURE CUT™
Firmly locks the cutter head assembly to help eliminate
snipe.
SWITCH AND SWITCH KEY
Your planer has an easy access power switch. To lock in the
OFF position, remove the switch key. Place the key in a
location inaccessible to children and others not qualified to
use the tool.
TABLE EXTENSIONS
Infeed and outfeed table extensions are attached to the
machine and fold "upright" for easy storage. These table
extensions are helpful when planing long workpieces.
THICKNESS SCALE
The thickness scale accurately displays the height of the
cutter blades to a maximum of 6 in. (152 mm).
TOOL STORAGE
For your convenience, a magnetic blade tool, 4 mm hex key,
8 mm/10 mm wrench, and blade changing instructions are
located in the tool storage area on the side of the planer.
