Charger Cleaning Instructions

WARNING: Shock hazard. Disconnect the charger
from the AC outlet before cleaning. Dirt and grease
may be removed from the exterior of the charger using
a cloth or soft non‑metallic brush. Do not use water or
any cleaning solutions.

Wall Mounting

Some D WALT chargers are designed to be wall mountable
e
or to sit upright on a table or work surface. If wall mounting,
locate the charger within reach of an electrical outlet, and
away from a corner or other obstructions which may impede
air flow. Use the back of the charger as a template for the
location of the mounting screws on the wall. Mount the
charger securely using drywall screws (purchased separately)
at least 1" (25.4 mm) long, with a screw head diameter of
0.28–0.35" (7–9 mm), screwed into wood to an optimal
depth leaving approximately 7/32" (5.5 mm) of the screw
exposed. Align the slots on the back of the charger with the
exposed screws and fully engage them in the slots.

Adjusting the Planing Depth (Fig. A)
To adjust the depth of cut, turn the planing depth
adjustment knob 10 . Each click of the planing depth
graduation 9 scale is equal to 0.1 mm of depth up to the
maximum depth of cut of approximately 5/64" (2.0 mm).
It is recom mended that test cuts be made in scrap wood
after each re-adjustment to make sure that the desired
amount of wood is being removed by the planer. Several
shallow passes (rather than one deep one) will produce a
smoother finish.
Planing (Fig. A, E, F)

CAUTION: Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the
work surface before turning the tool off.
Hold the planer in the correct position with one hand on the
front handle and the other hand on the main handle
10
as shown in Figure E. Place the front shoe
to be planed, making certain that the cutting blades are not
touching the surface. Push down firmly on the front handle
of the planer so that the front shoe is ABSOLUTELY FLAT on
the work surface. Squeeze the trigger switch and allow the
motor to reach full speed before touching the planer blades
to the work surface.
Move the tool slowly into the work and maintain downward
pressure to keep the planer flat. Be particularly careful
to keep the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the
work surface.
Planing Tip: For a smoother appearance, fasten a piece of
scrap wood to the end of the piece you are planing. Don't
stop planing until the cutting blades of the planer are past
your workpiece and into the scrap material.
Rabbet Fence (Fig. G, H)

WARNING: Allow the tool to reach full speed before
touching tool to the work surface. Lift the tool from the
work surface before turning the tool off.
The rabbet fence is used for optimum tool control on
17
narrow workpieces and can be installed on either side of your
planer. The planer makes rabbet cuts up to 23/64" (9 mm).
To Install Rabbet Fence
1. Loosen the rabbet fence tightening knob
2. Slide the crossbar on the rabbet fence
hole located on the side of the planer in front of the
6
drive belt cover , as shown in Figure G.

3. Set the width of cut by adjusting the edge guide across
the width of the shoe.
4. Securely tighten rabbet fence tightening knob
NOTE: The rabbet fence should be below the planer when
installed correctly as shown in Figure H.
To Make a Rabbet Cut
1. Turn the rabbet fence tightening knob
desired width of cut.
2. Make several cuts until the desired depth is reached.
NOTE: It will be necessary to make quite a few cuts for most
rabbet applications.
