WARNING:
Carefully read through this entire operator's manual
before using your new planer. Pay close attention
to the Safety Rules, Warnings and Cautions. If you
use your planer properly and only for what it is
intended, you will enjoy years of safe, reliable
service.
KNOW YOUR PLANER
See Figure 1.
Before attempting to operate your planer, familiarize your-
self with all operating features and safety requirements.
Your planer is compact and lightweight. It is equipped with
the following features:
• Depth adjustment knob located at the front of your
unit.
• Chip bag which can be used on either side of your
unit.
When used properly, your planer should take the guess-
work out of planing, sizing, or beveling of doors, win-
dows, shutters, drawer slides, and other work. However,
as with any tool, your planer requires accurate set-ups
and handling. Practice cutting on scrap lumber before
attempting to plane finished goods. In order to turn out
the quality work for which your tool has been designed,
the importance of the need for you to practice cannot be
over-emphasized.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with your planer make you
careless. Remember that being careless a fraction
of a second is sufficient time to inflict severe injury.

WARNING:
If any parts are missing, do not operate your planer
until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do
so could result in possible serious personal injury.
SWITCH
Depress the trigger switch to start your planer. To turn
your planer off, release the trigger switch.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
Your planer has a precision built electric motor. It should
be connected to a power supply that is 120 volts, 60
Hz, AC only (normal household current). Do not op-
erate this tool on direct current (DC). A substantial volt-
age drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will
overheat. If your planer does not operate when plugged
into an outlet, double-check the power supply.
