Cleaning, Maintenance And Ordering Of Spare Parts; Carbon Brushes - EINHELL TE-PL 18/82 Li Manual De Instrucciones

•
Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full
speed. Place the V-shaped groove (a) on the
edge of the workpiece at an angle of 45°.
•
Now move the plane along the edge of the
workpiece.
•
To achieve a good quality result you should
keep the feed speed and angle constant.
6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 4/8)
•
The planing of steps is possible with the help
of the parallel stop (11).
•
Mount the parallel stop (11) on the left side of
the tool (see section 5.3).
•
To mount the depth stop, fasten the step
depth scale (10) to the front right side of the
plane housing with the locking lever (9) (see
Fig. 8).
•
Release the locking lever (9) and position
the step depth scale (10) so that the required
step depth is displayed. Pull the locking lever
(9) tight again.
Width of step:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel
stop (11).
Depth of step:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2
mm and to keep planing the workpiece until the
required depth of step is reached.
7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
7.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.

7.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
7.3 Changing the planing knives (Fig. 9)
Danger! Always pull the plug out of the power so-
cket before doing any work on the equipment.
The hand-held electric plane comes with two
carbide metal reversible knives. Reversible knives
have two cutting edges and can be reversed. The
guide slot on the reversible knives ensures the
same height setting after a change. Replace a
worn, blunt or damaged knife.
Carbide metal reversible knives cannot be re-
sharpened.
Undo the three hexagonal screws (a) using the
wrench (12) supplied and push the carbide metal
reversible knife out of the planing shaft using a
piece of wood. (see Fig. 9).
Clean the knife seat before fi tting. Install the kni-
ves in reverse order. Check that the planing knife
conforms with both ends of the planing shaft.
Always replace both knives to ensure a uniform
chip depth.
Danger! Before using the hand-held electric
plane make sure the knives are installed securely
and in the right place.
Check the correct setting (Fig. 10)
(8) Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
(5) Rear base plate (fi xed plane shoe)
1. Correct adjustment
Result: Smooth planed surfaces
2. Notches in the surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife (or
both planing knives) is not parallel to the height of
the rear base plate.
3. Furrows at the start of the planed surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is below the height of the
rear base plate.
4. Furrows at the end of the planed surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is above the height of the
rear base plate.
