For the correct planer blade setting 

Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, 
unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade 
must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely 

level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base. 
Below are some examples of proper and improper 
settings.

Correct setting

Nicks in surface

Gouging at start

Gouging at end

Although this side view cannot 
show it, the edges of the blades 
run perfectly parallel to the rear 
base surface.

Cause: One or both blades fails to 

have edge parallel to rear 
base line.

Cause: One or both blade edges 

fails to protrude enough in 
relation to rear base line.

Cause: One or both blade edges 

protrudes too far in relation 
to rear base line.

Blade height adjustment 

Fig.10 

Blade height adjustment is usually not necessary. 
However, if you notice that the blade edge is below the 
level of the rear base or protrudes too far from the rear 
base, proceed as follows. 
Loosen the eight installation bolts and the set plate 
screws. Turn the adjusting screws clockwise to retract 
the blade or counterclockwise to protrude it. After 
adjusting the blade height, tighten the set plate screws 
and the eight installation bolts securely. 

Hex wrench storage 

Fig.11 

When not in use, store the hex wrench as shown in the 
figure to keep it from being lost. 

Nozzle assembly and joint (Accessory) 

Fig.12 

Nozzle assembly and joint are used when connecting the 
tool to vacuum cleaner. 
When you wish to perform cleaner operation, connect a 
vacuum cleaner to your tool. 
To connect vacuum cleaner, remove the chip guide from 
the tool. Place nozzle assembly and joint in its place and 
then tighten screws to secure them. 
Connect a hose of vacuum cleaner to the joint.

OPERATION 

Planing operation 

Fig.14 

First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiece 
surface without the blades making any contact. Switch 
on and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then move 
the tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of tool 
at the start of planing, and at the back at the end of 
planing. 
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish. 
The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will not 
result in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depth of 
cut can be increased, while for a good finish you should 
reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more 
slowly. 

Front roller 

Fig.15 

When performing repeated cuts, the use of the front roller 
enables quick and effortless return of the tool toward an 
operator by raising the back end of the tool so that the 
tool blades do not contact a workpiece and then sliding 
tool on the front roller.
