17 ENGLISH3. Turn the tool on and wait until it attains full speed.4. Gently move the tool forwards, applying slightlymore downwards pressure on the depth adjustmentknob at the start so as to keep the entire planer baselevel and even with the workpiece surface.Fig.335. Use care to apply pressure evenly over the work-piece surface in the middle of operation, and push thetool steadily forwards.Fig.34NOTE: Balance hand pressure between the switchhandle and depth adjustment knob as both the frontand rear bases contact the workpiece surface.6. Apply greater control on the switch handle to avoidoverreaching at the end of a pass since the front basewill drop off the workpiece surface.Fig.35NOTE: Planing can be easier if you position the work-piece at a slight forward tilt so you ease up on thepressure to hold the tool during operation.NOTE: Adjust the cutting speed and depth for yourdesired surface finishes.For rough finish, set the cutting depth sufficientlydeep enough on workpiece.For neat and fine finish, push the tool slowly withshallow cutting depth and make more passes.Shiplapping (Rabbeting)Fig.36Use the guide rule to make a stepped cut as shown inthe figure.1. Install the guide rule and depth guide in the tooland secure them with the washers and thumb screws.2. Adjust the depth guide to the shiplapping depthand secure it in place with the thumb screw.3. Draw a cutting line on the workpiece and align theblade edge with the cutting line.43122Fig.37► 1. Blade edge 2. Cutting line 3. Depth guide4. Thumb screw
