Sharpening High‑Speed Steel Blades
(Fig. L)

CAUTION: Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle
with great care.
NOTE: Carbide blades cannot be sharpened.
1. Fasten the blades to the sharpening holder
sure both blade edges
2. Place the blade edges so they rest flat on the grinding
stone (not included).
3. Firmly grip the sharpening holder and move it back and
forward to sharpen the blade edges
Kickstand (Fig. M)
Your planer is equipped with a kickstand
the rear shoe that automatically lowers when the tool is
4
lifted from the work surface allowing the planer to set on the
work surface without the blade touching it. When planing,
the kickstand raises as the tool is pushed forward through
the material. If the kickstand obstructs special planing work,
it can be stored and locked out of the way.

CAUTION: Be sure that the kickstand is correctly
extended when setting the planer on a work surface.
Edge Chamfering (Fig. N)
Your planer has a precision machined chamfering groove
in the front shoe for planing along a corner of the wood. The
width of the groove is 4.5 to 8 mm. It's a good idea to try a
piece of scrap wood before doing finish work.
Dust Extraction (Fig. A, O)
Your planer has a built-in dust extraction port
allows either a dust bag or a shop vacuum to be connected.
The built-in outlet utilizes the D
system making it compatible with the D
To Attach the Dust Bag
While holding the planer, slide the dust bag collar onto the
dust extraction port 12
To Empty The Dust Bag
1. While holding the planer, remove the dust bag by sliding
it off the dust extraction port
2. Gently shake or tap the dust bag to empty.
3. Reattach the dust bag back onto the outlet.
You may notice that all the dust will not come free from
the bag. This will not affect planing performance but will
reduce the planer's dust collection efficiency. To restore your
planer's dust collection efficiency, depress the spring inside
the dust bag when you are emptying it and tap it on the side
of the trash can or dust receptacle.
NOTE: A D WALT AirLock Adapter (DWV9000) can be
e
purchased separately to connect a shop vacuum or D
dust extractor to your planer.

CAUTION: Never operate these tools unless the
dust collector is in place. Planing dust exhaust may
create a breathing hazard.
