Parking Foot (Fig. L)
Your planer is equipped with a parking foot
16
that
automatically lowers into place when the tool is lifted from
the work surface. When planing, the parking foot raises
as the tool is pushed forward. When the parking foot is
lowered, the planer can set on the work surface without the
blade touching.

CAUTION: Do not lock the trigger switch on and
engage the parking foot. The vibration of the running
motor will cause the planer to move, possibly falling
from the work piece.
