Abstract
The invention provides a power tool planer which includes a drum with at least one blade thereon located within a chamber in the tool housing. One end of the chamber is provided with an opening which can be selectively closed by a guard. The guard can be moveable between a first closed position and a second position in which the chamber is opened, and the guard is moved into a recess in the housing to improve the ability to use the tool in confined spaces, as the guard lies flush with a side wall of the housing. Also provided is a dust and debris extraction system and a means for adjusting the depth of cut obtained using the tool.
