Protect your eyes

• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools

• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product; normal

lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter

Protect your hearing

• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB

Protect your breathing

• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks

Protect your hands

• Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a suitable push stick

for shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools

Be aware of others around you

• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity of the work

area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also provided with suitable

protective equipment

Hidden objects

• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects before cutting

• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you know that the

cutting tool ﬁtted to your machine is suitable for the job

• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel lines, and long

grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work area thoroughly before

proceeding

Beware of projected waste

• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the cutting tool. It is

the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in the work area are protected from

the possibility of projected waste

Fitting cutting tools

• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely ﬁtted and check that wrenches / adjusters

are removed prior to use

• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine

• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools

• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly ﬁtted

• Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening, these may

include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically

containing tungsten

• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the blade

manufacturer’s instructions. These may include a limited number of times the blade can

be resharpened

• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced

immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use

• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not suitable

for, blades should be replaced immediately

Direction of feed

• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the blade

or cutter

Beware of heat

• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools until

they have been allowed to cool completely

Control dust / swarf

• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a ﬁre hazard, and some metal swarf

is explosive

• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a

common cause of wood dust ﬁres

• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and

functions

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing

or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Before Use

WARNING: Always disconnect this tool from the power supply before attaching or

removing accessories, or making any adjustments.

Adjusting the front handle

1. Hinge out the Front Handle Lock Lever (9) (Image A) and move the Front Handle (1) to one

of four positions to best suit the task (Image B)

2. Hinge back lever to secure the Front Handle in the selected position

Note: If necessary, the lever action mechanism can be adjusted using the Front Handle Set

Screw (13) (Image C).

Combined parallel and bevel fence guide

1. Fit the Combined Parallel and Bevel Fence Guide (20) to the base by screwing the Fence

Attachment Knobs (21) into the Fence Attachment Points (7) and (10) (Image D)

2. Loosen the two wing nuts and set the angle of the fence if you wish to use it as a guide for

making bevel cuts (Image E)

3. When set at right angles to the planer base, the fence provides a guide to help control

the planing action

Note: The fence can be ﬁtted to either side of the base.

Note: The angle graduations marked on the fence are approximate only. For accurate bevel

cutting it is necessary to measure the angle of the fence, make a trial cut and adjust if

necessary.

Shavings extraction

IMPORTANT: It is highly recommended that a workshop vacuum cleaner or other dust

extraction system is used with this product. The tool produces a large amount of waste

material in use and an active extraction system is required for optimal operation.

1. The Dust/Chip Extraction Port (18) allows connection to a vacuum dust extraction system

2. Using the Dust Extraction Adaptor (19) permits a dust extraction system to be connected to

the Dust/Chip Extraction Port (Image F)

3. To ﬁt the Dust Extraction Adaptor, insert it into the Dust/Chip Extraction Port and twist it

clockwise until it locks into position

Adjusting the depth of cut

Note: The Power Indicator (2) lights up when the tool is connected to a live mains supply. This

is a quick indicator of a live power connection to the tool for normal use but it is important

also to check manually that the power tool is disconnected from the mains when making

adjustments or installing or removing blades.

1. Rotate the Depth Adjustment Knob (12) clockwise for a deeper cut and anti-clockwise for

a shallower cut

2. The numbers on the ring under the Depth Adjustment Knob indicate the depth of cut. There

are 8 click stop positions from 0.25-2mm that increment by 0.25mm

3. If it is necessary to plane to a precise depth, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the

difference in thickness and adjust the setting if necessary

4. To check accuracy and tolerance of the Movable Front Base (11) set the depth adjustment

knob to the ‘0’ position so the blade can be measured against the Fixed Rear Base (6) and

Movable Front Base (11). The Fixed Rear Base, blade and Movable Front Base should be at

the same level at the ‘0’ position

5. After use, always move the depth adjustment knob to the ‘P’ parked position. This protects

the blade by moving the Movable Front Base so that the blade is not in contact with the

surface the planer is resting on
