ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING/REMOVING THE DUST BAG
See Figure 2.
The dust bag located on the right side of the hand planer 
provides a dust collection system. Wood particles are drawn 
up through the base and collect in the dust bag during op-
eration. For more efficient operation, empty the dust bag 
when half full. 
To install, slide the dust bag adaptor onto the dust port on 
the planer. To remove the dust bag, grasp the adaptor and 
pull the dust bag away from the planer.

The chip collection system of the hand planer has a 
1-1/4 in. port for inserting a vacuum hose.

WARNING:
 
When the tool is not connected to vacuum, always 
reinstall the dust bag back onto the tool. Failure 
to do so could cause dust or foreign objects to be 
thrown into your face or eyes, which could result 
in possible serious injury.
