CONTENTS

OPERATION

ATTACHING THE PLANER TO A VACUUM
Remove the battery pack before making any adjustments. Slide the collar of the dust collection bag onto the exhaust port.

NOTE: To remove the dust bag, pull it straight out of the collection port lever. (Bag has a tendency to fill quickly so empty to avoid damage to the product. Attach a vacuum hose to the left or right collection port.
Set the collection lever to the selected collection port. Connect the vacuum to a power supply. Turn the vacuum on before starting the cut.

WARNING: When the tool is not connected to the vacuum, always reinstall the dust bag back onto the tool. Failure to do so could cause dust or foreign objects to be thrown into your face or eyes, which could result in possible serious injury.

INSTALLING/REMOVING BATTERY PACK

• Keep your fingers away from the trigger switch.
• Insert the battery pack into the cordless planer.
• Make sure the groves on each side of the battery are located and the battery clicks into place.
• Depress the front button and slide in the opposite direction to remove the battery pack.

STAR TING/STOPPING THE PLANER
To start the planer push the trigger from either side, and then release the trigger to stop.
There is a trigger lock that can be used in order to run the planer without you constantly applying the trigger. Simply push in the lock trigger and to release pull the trigger a second time to stop.

KICKSTAND (fig.2)
The planer has been equipped with an automatic pivoting kickstand that will prevent the blades from contacting the workbench when not in use. As you begin the planning operation, the kickstand will automatically retract as it passes over the edge of the workpiece. When setting the planer down on the workbench, the kickstand will automatically pivot down to prevent the blade from making any contact.

WARNING: Make sure the kickstand operates freely at all times and that the area surrounding the kickstand is clear of debris. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.

PLANING DEPTH (ref: fig.1)
When you begin planning a rough piece of material, the planer will only remove the high spots at first. Successive passes will remove more and more material. By removing no more than 1/64 in. with each pass, you will achieve the smoothest finish, even from the roughest workpiece. Always begin by making test cuts in scrap wood to make sure that the planer is removing the desired amount of wood.

TO SET THE PLANNING DEPTH
Remove the battery pack. Turn the depth adjustment knob clockwise to set the desired depth of cut. The maximum depth of cut is 1/16 in.
NOTE: Use only detented depth settings. Attempting cuts with the depth of cut settings between the detented positions can result in uneven cuts.
NOTE: To protect the blades during storage, transporting, etc., turn the depth adjustment knob counter-clockwise to P on the depth of cut scale to park the blade.

WARNING: Always clamp the workpiece securely before making a cut. Work moving during a cut could result in loss of control of the planer and cause serious injury.
PLANNING
NOTE: Planing too fast results in a poor finish and increases chip build- up in the chip exhaust. Chip build-up restricts airflow and can cause motor overheating.

Clamp the work securely
Adjust the planting depth. Refer to the Planning Depth section. Hold the depth adjustment knob with one hand and the handle with your other hand.

WARNING: Always use two hands on the tool for any operation; this assures that you maintain control and avoid the risk of serious personal injury. Always properly support and clamp the work so that both hands are free to control the planer. Never operate the tool overhead or inverted from the proper operating position; serious personal injury may result.
Place the front shoe on the edge of the work to be planned.
NOTE : Make sure the blades are not touching the work. Apply pressure to the depth adjustment knob so that the front shoe is completely flat on the work. Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed. Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work, using a slow, steady motion. The plane slowly and empty the dust bag frequently. Apply downward pressure toward the rear handle as you reach the end of the planned cut. This helps keep the rear section of the planer base in contact with the work and prevents the front of the planer from gouging the cut.

WARNING: Be careful to avoid hitting nails or staples during planning operation; this action could nick, crack, or damage blades.
NOTE: We suggest that you always keep an extra set of blades on hand. As soon as the blades in the planer show signs of becoming dull, replace them. The blades are reversible and can be reversed until both sides become dull.

CHAMFERING

The planer is designed with a chamfering groove in the front shoe to chamfer corners of boards as shown. Before making a cut on good lumber, practice cutting on scrap lumber to determine the amount to be removed.

Clamp the work securely

• Hold the depth adjustment knob with one hand and the handle with your other hand.
• Place the chamfering groove on the surface to be cut.
• Start the planer and let the motor reach maximum speed.
• Hold the planer firmly and push it forward into the work, using a slow, steady motion.
• Apply downward pressure to keep the planer flat at the beginning and the end of the work surface.

ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR PLANNING EDGES

WARNING: Remove the battery pack.

• Attach the bracket to the desired side of the planer and tighten the bolt securely.
• Attach the edge guide to the bracket using the carriage head bolts and nuts.
• Tighten the nut securely.

PLANING EDGES

Follow the directions in the Planning section earlier in this manual. Hold the edge guide firmly against the edge of the work surface. PLANING EDGES AND MAKING RABBET CUTS
The planer comes with an adjustable edge guide for precision edge planing and rabbet cutting. Attach the edge guide to either side of the planer for planing edges and attach the edge guide to the left side for making rabbet cuts.

ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE FOR PLANING EDGES (fig.3)

WARNING: Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally

• Remove the battery pack.
• Attach the bracket to the desired side of the planer and tighten the knob bolt securely.
• Attach the edge guide to the bracket using the knob nut and the carriage head bolt.
• Tighten the knob nut securely.

TO MAKE RABBET CUTS (fig.4)

• Follow the directions in planning section 5.5 earlier in this manual. Rest the edge guide firmly against the edge of the work surface.
• The depth of the rabbet is determined by the depth of the cut and the number of passes made along the work surface.
• The maximum depth of the rabbet cut is 1/2 in and has to be cut in 1/16 in passes or less to reach the desired depth. The width of the rabbet cut is adjustable by moving the edge guide.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Always disconnect the battery before carrying out any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
