Product Description

‘XP’ brushless electric planer for perfect planing results
The SKIL 3980 is a powerful ’20V Max’ cordless electric planer and part of the SKIL ‘brushless XP’ range. ‘XP’ tools deliver exceptional performance and durability, thanks to their high specifications and advanced digital brushless motors. Like all other SKIL ‘20V Max’ cordless tools, this model is powered by the industry-leading, advanced ‘PWRCORE 20™’ battery and charger technology. Brushless SKIL 3980 is ideal for planing surfaces, chamfering corners and making rabbets, thanks to its 2 mm planing depth and 82 mm planing width. The brushless motor is faster, stronger and lasts 10 times longer than a comparable brushed motor. The ergonomic design with softgrip and large depth setting knob that serves as extra front grip ensure optimum comfort and control over the tool. The high-quality TCT blades are reversible for double the lifetime. When one side wears out, you can simply turn the blades around and continue working. You can conveniently adjust the lever of the chip ejection to the left or right to match your working situation. For a cleaner working environment, you can connect the dust bag or a standard-size vacuum cleaner to both sides of the electric planer. The convenient parking foot prevents accidental damage to your workpiece when you want to rest the tool or put it away after the job. The SKIL 3980 FA is supplied in a carrying bag with two reversible TCT blades, a dust bag, a dust adapter, a parallel guide and rabbeting depth adjuster. The battery and charger aren’t included.

‘PWRCORE 20™’ industry-leading battery technology to power all SKIL '20V Max' tools
The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ system consists of industry-leading advanced battery and charger technology, plus innovative features you won’t find anywhere else, such as our patented ‘KEEPCOOL™’ battery cooling technology which increases the runtime by up to 25% and doubles the battery lifetime. Whereas the patented ‘ACTIVCELL™’ technology safeguards a maximum performance and optimal battery protection. The ‘PWRCORE 20™’ batteries and chargers are 100% compatible and interchangeable with all SKIL ‘PWRCORE 20™’ power tools and garden tools for ultimate flexibility.
