- Fix the distance required between the parallel guide and the edge of the workpiece.
- Fasten the parts with the knob screw.
5. Rebating depth stop (Fig 10)
The planing of steps is possible with the help of rebating depth stop (21).
- Fasten the depth stop (21) to the front right side of the plane housing with the knob screw.
- Release the knob screw and position the rebating depth stop (21) so that the required step depth is displayed.
- Tighten the knob screw.
1. Power source check
Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
2. Electrical safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
This machine is double insulated in accordance with EN 60745
3. Switch status check
Before plugging in the tool, always check to see that the switch trigger (6) actuates properly and returns to the
"OFF" position when released.
4. Extension cord
When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
1. Switching On and Off (Fig 11)
To prevent the switch trigger from being accidentally pulled, a lock-off button (5) is provided.
- To start the tool, press the lock-off button (5) from either side and pull the switch trigger (6).
- Release the switch trigger (6) to stop.
2. Park rest
The park rest (10) allows the machine to be set down directly after operation, without danger of damaging the
working surface. While planing, the park rest is tilted upwards thus enabling full contact of the rear part of the
planer base plate (9).
CAUTION: The park rest (10) may not be removed.
3. Planing mode (Fig 12)
- Set the required planing depth and place the front part of the planer base plate (1) against the workpiece (Fig 12-
A).
- Apply the machine on the workpiece only when switched on.
- Switch the machine on and guide the machine with even feed over the surface to be planned.
- To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with low feed and apply pressure on the centre of the planer base
plate.
- When machining hard materials as well as when utilising the maximum planer width, set only low planing depths
and reduce planer feed, as required.
Excessive feed reduces the surface quality and can lead to rapid clogging of the chip ejector.
- Only sharp blades achieve good cutting capacity and give the machine longer life.
- The park rest (10) also allows for continuated planing at any given location on the workpiece after an interruption
(Fig 12-B):
- Fold down the park rest and place the machine on the location of the workpiece where the planing is to
be continued.
- Switch on the machine.
- Apply the supporting pressure onto the front part of the planer and slowly push the machine forward. This
tilts the park rest upward and the rear part of the planer base plate faces on the workpiece again.
- Guide the machine over the surface to be planed with even feed.
