9planing. Planing will be easier if you incline theworkpiece in stationary fashion, so that you can planesomewhat downhill.The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish.The power planer keeps cutting at a speed that will notresult in jamming by chips. For rough cutting, the depthof cut can be increased, while for a good finish youshould reduce the depth of cut and advance the toolmore slowly.Shiplapping (Rabbeting)002580To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use theedge fence (guide rule).Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide(accessory).Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edgefence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align the bladeedge with the cutting line.123007647Install the edge fence on the tool and secure it with thewasher and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw(B) and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contactwith the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumbscrew (B) securely.123010794When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flushwith the side of the workpiece. Otherwise unevenplaning may result.CAUTION:• The blade edge should be made to protrudeoutside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for shiplapping.0.2 - 0.4mm007649You may wish to add to the length of the fence byattaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes areprovided in the fence for this purpose, and also forattaching an extension guide (optional accessory).010795Chamfering003634To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, alignone of three "V" grooves in the front base with the edgeof the workpiece and plane it.1.
