Putting the planer down

6.1
–
Before tightening the locking screws (3.1) align
the cutter with a ruler so that its front edge
(4.2) is fl ush with the sides of the front (4.3) and
rear (4.1) planer platens. Then tighten fi rst the
central locking screw, followed by the two outer
screws.
The connector for dust extraction can be fi tted on
either side of the tool. To change sides, press the
toggle lever (5.5) down fi rmly. This releases the lug
on the outer edge of the casing and the adapter
(5.4) can be pushed through the casing.
The adapter can now be inserted into the casing
opening (5.6) lug fi rst up the stop in the casing.
Either the chip collecting bag (5.1) or an angle piece
(5.3) for a suction hose adapter (5.2) can be fi tted
to the adapter (5.4). The chips can be defl ected in
any direction by turning the angle piece.
A suction hose Ø 27 mm (1.05 '') ( adapter is in-
serted into the angle piece (5.3). A suction hose
Ø 36 mm (1.42 '') adapter is fi tted over the angle
piece (5.3).
The EHL 65 E has a support foot (6.1) at the end
of the platen so that it can be placed safely on a
work surface.
If the electric tool is taken up, the support foot au-
tomatically protrudes beyond the planer platen to
ensure that the planer shaft is always raised above
fl at work surfaces when the planer is put down.
Pay attention to the following when
putting the EHL 65 E down:
–
check that the support foot is present and fully
operational,
–
wait until the planer shaft comes to a standstill
before putting the tool down.
If the support foot should be found obstructive
during special planing work it can be swung back
out of the way and locked in position.
