[. . . ] Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents. [. . . ] If you use this tool unsafely or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before adjusting or checking function on the tool. After a cutting operation, raise the back side of the tool and a foot comes under the level of the rear base. CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool. Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or hands when removing or installing the blades. Remove the existing blade, if the tool has been in use, carefully clean the drum surfaces and the drum cover. To remove the blades on the drum, unscrew the three installation bolts with the socket wrench. Depth of cut may be adjusted by simply turning the knob on the front of the tool so that the pointer points the desired depth of cut. CAUTION: Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger actuates properly and returns to the "OFF" position when released. Switch can be locked in "ON" position for ease of operator comfort during extended use. For continuous operation, pull the switch trigger and then push in the lock button from either side. To stop the tool from the locked position, pull the switch 4 To install the blades, loosely attach the adjusting plate to the set plate with the pan head screws and set the mini planer blade on the gauge base so that the cutting edge of the blade is perfectly flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate. Plate and screw in the three hex flange head bolts so that a gap exists between the drum and the set plate to slide the mini planer blade into position. Set the adjusting plate/set plate on the gauge base so that the planer blade locating lugs on the set plate rest in the mini planer blade groove, then press in the heel of the adjusting plate flush with the back side of the gauge base and tighten the pan head screws. It is important that the blade sits flush with the inside flank of the gauge plate, the planer blade locating lugs sit in the blade groove and the heel of the adjusting plate is flush with the back side of the gauge base. The blade's lengthwise adjustment will need to be manually positioned so that the blade ends are clear and equidistant from the housing on one side and the metal bracket on the other. Tighten the three hex flange head bolts (with the socket wrench provided) and rotate the drum to check clearances between the blade ends and the tool body. Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the rear base. Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blades run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface. [. . . ] You may wish to add to the length of the fence by attaching an extra piece of wood. Convenient holes are provided in the fence for this purpose, and also for attaching an extension guide (optional accessory). To install the chamfering rule, remove two screws on both sides of the front of the tool and set the depth of cut to 4 mm. And then install it on the front base of the tool and secure it the screws as shown in the figure. [. . . ]
