OPERATION
Hold the tool firmly with one hand on the knob and the
other hand on the switch handle when operating the
tool.
Planing operation
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.
Planing will be easier if you incline the workpiece in sta-
tionary fashion, so that you can plane somewhat downhill.
The speed and depth of cut determine the kind of finish.
The tool 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.

Shiplapping (Rabbeting)
► Fig.25
To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the
edge fence (guide rule).
Install the edge fence on the tool. Secure it with the
washer and thumb screw (A). Loosen the thumb screw
(B) and adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact
with the side of the workpiece. Then tighten the thumb
screw (B) securely.

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Align the blade
edge with the cutting line.
Adjust the shiplapping depth using a depth guide.
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise, uneven
planing may result.

The blade edge should be made to
NOTICE:
protrude outside slightly (0.2 mm - 0.4 mm) for
shiplapping.
► Fig.28
You can extend the length of the fence by attaching an
extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are provided in
the fence for this purpose.

Chamfering
► Fig.30
To make a chamfering cut as shown in the figure, align
one of three "V" grooves in the front base with the edge
of the workpiece and plane it.
► Fig.31: 1. V groove (medium amount of chamfering)
2. V groove (small amount of chamfering)
3. V groove (great amount of chamfering)
Use of chamfering rule (optional accessory) assures
more tool stability when chamfering.
To install the chamfering rule, remove two screws on
both sides of the front of the tool.
Then install the chamfering rule on the front base of the
tool and secure it the screws as shown in the figure.
► Fig.32: 1. Chamfering rule 2. Screw
When doing a great amount of chamfering, place an edge
of chamfering rule so that it contacts workpiece and make
many passes of planing as shown in the figure.

WIRELESS ACTIVATION
FUNCTION
What you can do with the wireless
activation function
The wireless activation function enables clean and com-
fortable operation. By connecting a supported vacuum
cleaner to the tool, you can run the vacuum cleaner
automatically along with the switch operation of the tool.

surface when installing the wireless unit.
NOTICE:
Clean the dust and dirt on the tool
before installing the wireless unit. Dust or dirt
may cause malfunction if it comes into the slot of the
wireless unit.
NOTICE:
To prevent the malfunction caused by
static, touch a static discharging material, such
