STARTING. Make sure switch is in off
position before plugging in.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet,
etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool.
A power source with voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in SERIOUS
INJURY to the user - as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
TOOL. Using a power source with voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the
motor.
3
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage num-
ber, the heavier the cord.

003710 Dimensional adjustment
Lower the main frame by turning the crank handle counter-
clockwise until the indicator plate points to the scale gradua-
1
tion indicating the desired finished dimension. One full turn of
the crank handle moves the main frame 2 mm (3/32) up or
2
3 down. The scale has inch graduations on its right side and
4 metric graduations on its left side.

3. Indicator plate
4. Main frame
CAUTION:
1. Depth gauge Always lower the main frame when aligning the indicator
plate with the graduation indicating the desired finished
dimension. If you raise the main frame into the desired
finished dimension, additional play in the screw may
result. This may cause an undesired finished dimension.
Always place the workpiece flat on the table top when
predetermining the depth of cut. Otherwise, the
predetermined depth of cut will differ from actual depth
of cut.

003713 Depth adjusting gauge
1
Use the depth adjusting gauge when you need to predeter-
mine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so, proceed as
follows.
1. First, plane the workpiece at the predetermined depth of
2 cut. Measure the thickness of the planed piece to know

3. Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise until the
graduation for the desired depth of cut is aligned with the
groove on the tool.
4. When you need to remove more than the amount speci-
fied in the table mentioned in the Adjusting depth of cut
section, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount
and make two or more passes.
003714 Stopper
Use the stopper when you need to plane many workpieces to
the same thickness. To do so, proceed as follows.

CAUTION:
When the stopper is not in use, always raise it to the

the set plate rests in the groove of the blade. Adjust the set
plate so that both ends of the blade protrude approximately
1 mm (3/64) beyond the end of the set plate. Place the two

CAUTION:
Do not tighten the blade installation bolts without the

OPERATION
003724
CAUTION:
Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness stock
can be passed through the planer side by side.
However, allow some spacing between the stock to
permit the feed rollers to grip the thinnest piece of stock.
Otherwise, a slightly thinner piece could be kicked back
by the cutterhead.
Place the workpiece flat on the table top.
Determine the depth of cut as described before.
Switch on the tool and wait until the blades attain full speed.
The workpiece should not be in contact with the feed roller
when you turn the tool on.
Then insert the workpiece flush with the table top.
When cutting a long or heavy workpiece, lift up its end
slightly at the start and the end of the cut to avoid gouging or
snipping at the extreme ends of the workpiece.
003725 The use of the tool top enables quick, effortless return of the
workpiece to the infeed table side. This is especially conve-
nient with two operators.
CAUTION:
The workpiece with the following dimensions cannot be
fed into the tool because the interval between two feed
rollers is 129 mm (5-1/16). Do not try to cut them.

WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California
to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this
type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
