7OPERATIONPlaning operation12004844First, rest the tool front base flat upon the workpiecesurface without the blades making any contact. Switchon and wait until the blades attain full speed. Then movethe tool gently forward. Apply pressure on the front of toolat the start of planing, and at the back at the end ofplaning. Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiecein stationary fashion, so that you can plane somewhatdownhill.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 depth ofcut can be increased, while for a good finish you shouldreduce the depth of cut and advance the tool moreslowly.Shiplapping (Rabbeting)002580To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use theedge fence (guide rule).12004845Draw 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.Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with theside of the workpiece, then secure it by tightening thescrew.12004846When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flushwith the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven planingmay result.Maximum shiplapping (rabbeting) depth is 6 mm.You 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).002584Chamfering0036341004847To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, alignthe "V" groove in the front base with the edge of theworkpiece and plane it.1.
