1. Product Overview

2. Package Contents
Please check the package carefully to ensure all items are present and undamaged:
- 1 x Planer Stand Bracket
- 1 x Bolt
- 2 x Screw
- 2 x Hex Wrench
3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to assemble and set up your Fdit Flip Planer Stand Bracket:
- Unpack all components and verify against the package contents list.
- Position the planer stand bracket on a stable, flat workbench or surface.
- Carefully insert your compatible electric planer (e.g., Dongcheng 82mm) into the designated slot on the bracket. Ensure it fits securely.
- Use the provided bolt and screws to firmly attach the planer to the bracket. The hex wrenches are for tightening these fasteners.
- Verify that the planer is stable and does not wobble when mounted.
4. Operating Instructions
This stand allows you to use your electric planer in a fixed, inverted position for more controlled planing. It facilitates easier adjustment of planing angle, depth, and speed.
4.1. Adjusting Planing Depth and Angle
The rational design of the stand ensures that it does not obstruct the adjustment of the planer's thickening handwheel. You can easily adjust the planing depth and angle directly on your mounted electric planer.
4.2. Planing Operation
Once the planer is securely mounted and adjustments are made, you can feed wood through the planer for smooth and precise results. The inverted setup provides additional stability and support.
4.3. Important Safety Note
Do not handle small or thin wood when the blade shaft is facing upwards after inversion. For the first operation, please adjust the thickness of the light cutting plane and practice using large wood until you master the feel.
5. Maintenance
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your planer stand, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Regularly inspect all bolts and screws for tightness. Tighten if necessary.
- Keep the stand clean and free of sawdust and debris. Wipe with a dry cloth after each use.
- Store the stand in a dry environment to prevent rust, especially if not used for extended periods.
- Check for any signs of wear or damage to the alloy steel structure. Replace if compromised.
6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your planer stand, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Planer wobbles when mounted: Ensure all mounting bolts and screws are fully tightened. Check for proper alignment of the planer within the bracket.
- Difficulty adjusting planer settings: Confirm that the planer is correctly seated and not obstructed by the stand. The stand is designed not to affect the handwheel adjustment.
- Unsatisfactory planing results: This may be related to the planer itself (blade sharpness, settings) or improper wood feeding technique. Refer to your electric planer's manual for specific guidance.
For persistent issues, please contact customer support.

- Stability: Always place the planer stand on a firm, level surface to prevent movement during operation.
- Practice: If you are new to using an inverted planer setup, start with larger pieces of scrap wood to get a feel for the operation before working on your main project.
- Safety First: Never attempt to plane very small or thin pieces of wood with the blade exposed upwards, as this can be extremely dangerous.
