The width and depth of rebate cut 

(see fig9)

The width of rebate cut is adjustable by moving 

the  parallel  guide. The  depth  of  rebate  cut  is 

determined by the moving the depth guide, and 

the number of passes made along the workpiece.

7. USING THE DUST COLLECTION BAG 

(see 

fig10)

Your  planer  is  equipped  with  a  dust  bag  for 

collection of wood chips in the work area. 

Make sure the zipper on the bag is fully closed. To 

fit the dust bag, simply insert the tube end of the 

bag into the dust extraction outlet. Then switch on 

and start planing.

Cleaning dust exhaust outlet and emptying 

the dust bag 

(see fig11)

After  using  your  planer  for  an  extended  period 

of time or when planing wet green timber, chips 

may  build-up  in  the  dust  exhaust  outlet  and 

require  clearing.  Chip  build-up  restricts  air  flow 

and  causes  the  motor  to  overheat. Turn  off  the 

planer  and  remove  the  dust  bag  from  the  dust 

exhaust outlet. Clean the chip and dust 

exhaust outlet of your planer with a small piece 

of wood. Do not use your hands or fingers. Unzip 

the dust bag and empty all chips from it. Ensure 

collar is free from debris.

We recommend emptying the dust bag 

every 3-6 minutes.

8. BLADE REPLACEMENT 

(seefig12,fig13, 

fig14,fig15)

After  blades  are  replaced,  check  that  they  are 

parallel  and  in  the  same  line  as  the  rear  base 

plate.  Check  this  with  a  straight  edge  (ruler). To 

adjust the blades firstly loosen the three screws 

on  the  blade  holder. Then  turn  the  socket  head 

screw clockwise and the blade will rise up.Turn the 

socket  head  screw  anti  clockwise  and  the  blade 

will  be  lowered. When  adjustment  is  complete 

tighten the three screws.

WARNING!

  Before  replace  the  blades 

remove  mains  plug  from  mains  supply. 

Always put on a glove.

Secure your planer in an upside down position. 

Using  the  blade  spanner  provided,  loosen  the 

three  installation  screws  on  the  drum  by  turn 

clockwise.

Note:

 Do not over loosen the screws. If screws
