EDGE PLANING
See Figures 10 and 11.
Your planer comes with an adjustable edge guide for
precision edge planing. It can be attached to either side
of your planer and is useful when planing long and un-
even surface boards.
ATTACHING THE EDGE GUIDE
Assemble the edge guide and edge guide bracket using
the carriage head screw, washer and retaining knob.
Attach the edge guide assembly to the desired side of
the planer, ensuring the locating tab on the edge guide
bracket fits into the locating tab hole. Install thumb screw
and tighten securely.
To adjust the edge guide to the width of cut, loosen the
retaining knob and adjust to the desired position. Re-
tighten the retaining knob securely.

RABBET CUTS
See Figure 13.
Rabbet cuts can be made using your planer. The edge
guide attaches to the operator’s right side of the planer
and can be used to make rabbet cuts. The maximum depth
of the rabbet cut is 8 mm (5/16 in.) and has to be cut in
2 mm (5/64 in.) passes, or less, to get the desired depth.
The width of the rabbet cut is adjustable by moving the
edge guide.
