Instruccions de funcionament
Adjusting Planing Depth
Rotate the front depth adjustment knob to set the desired planing depth. The scale indicates the depth of cut in inches. Start with shallow cuts and gradually increase depth as needed.
Using the Kickstand and Park Mode
The planer features a smooth kickstand that automatically deploys when the tool is lifted, preventing the blade from scratching finished surfaces when not in use. This acts as a 'park mode' for the tool.
Chip Exhaust Direction
The planer is equipped with dual left or right chip exhaust ports. Adjust the direction of the chip exhaust to keep your workspace clear of sawdust, depending on your working position.
Planing Technique
Place the front shoe of the planer flat on the workpiece. Start the motor, then smoothly push the planer forward, maintaining even pressure. Guide the planer along the desired path, ensuring consistent movement for a uniform finish.

Manteniment
Neteja
Regularly empty the dust bag and clean the planer's exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Ensure all ventilation openings are free from dust and debris to prevent overheating.
Blade Replacement/Inspection
Inspect the planer blades periodically for sharpness and damage. Dull or chipped blades can lead to poor performance and increased motor strain. Refer to the official Skil manual for detailed instructions on safe blade replacement using the provided spanner.
