desired planing depth is shown.
Never alter the planing depth during an operating
cycle, otherwise this will result in an uneven
surface. To prevent operating errors turn the control knob
back to “0” when planing is completed.
-Secure the work piece with clamps or similar.
-Place the front sole on the edge of the work piece in
such a way that the planing tool does not yet touch
the work piece. The work piece must be level.
-Now insert the mains plug into the socket. To switch
on, first press the release button (Ill. 1,E), keep it
pressed down while you press the operating switch
(Ill. 1,D). The appliance is now switched on and you
can let go of the release button.
-When the machine has reached full speed it can be
pushed to the front over the work piece. At the
beginning of the planing operation, put some
pressure on the front and at the end of the operation,
on the rear of the appliance. This results in the
appliance remaining flat on the work piece and
prevents the corners from getting rounded off.
-To obtain a level and smooth surface use a greater
planing depth when rough planing and a lesser planing
depth when planing a layer. Hold the electric tool
straight during the operation, otherwise you will
obtain an uneven surface. After the operation switch
off the electric tool and remove the mains plug.
WARNING!
1. Take care that your hand never comes in contact
with the workpiece during the operation.
2. Only use the electric planer on the upper side of the
work piece, never from below or from the side.
3. Store the appliance only after it has come to a
complete standstill.
-Use a suction device to suck off wood shavings or
dust. For this, use the connecting pipe (Ill. 2, A
accessories) and connect a suction pipe to it.
-Use a holding device to work on small work pie-
ces.
-Use only sharp blades.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before undertaking any care or maintenance
always remove the mains plug from the socket.
The blade gets worn after a period of operation. If you
use a blunt or damaged blade, the operational efficiency
will reduce and the electric motor might get overloaded.
Check the blade regularly with regard to wear or
damage. Depending on its condition, the blade will have
to be replaced.
REMOVAL OF PLANE BLADE (ILL. 3)
Use the enclosed open-jawed spanner (Accessories).
First unscrew the three clamping screws (6) with the
open-jawed spanner and remove the blade (3), the blade
holder (2) and the blade support (4) from the holding
shaft (1).
INSTALLATION OF PLANER (ILL. 3)
Take the new blade (3) and position it between the blade
support (4) and the blade holder (2). Screw the clamps
(6) as far as possible into the blade support. However,
not so far so that the blade and the blade holder become
detached again from the blade support. Afterwards put
the blade, blade holder and blade support together into
the holding shaft. The blade support, blade and blade
holder will now be fastened together in the holding shaft
by releasing the clamping screws with the open-jawed
spanner and thus the blade, blade support and blade
holder are clamped in position.
ATTENTION:
Unscrew clamping screws as fas as possible so that a
sufficient attachment is ensured.
WARNING!
1. When installing and removing the plane blade, care
has to be taken that all parts (plane blade, plane blade
holder, plane blade support and holding shaft) are
clean. Dirt or possible existing layers of dirt have to
be removed.
2. The Allen screws (5) are secured with an adhesive.
These screws must not be adjusted. The position of
these screws may only be altered by the
manufacturer!
Check regularly if the clamping screws are
tightened firmly. Always tighten screws firmly.
REPLACEMENT OF THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes can become worn after frequent
use. A regular check after about every 100 running hours
is therefore necessary. If the carbon brushes are shorter
than 4 mm then these will have to be replaced with new
ones.
-Remove the cover on the right.
-Take out the carbon brushes and check these.
-Replace the carbon brushes.
-Replace the two screws and screw them tight.
