OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and
applicable regulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn tool off and disconnect machine from
power source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in
terms of table height and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so
that the operator has a good overview and enough free surrounding
space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.

Prior to Operation

• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose knots.
Do not plane wood that is severely knotted or warped.
Switching On and Off (fi g. M)
The on/off switch offers multiple advantages:
NO-VOLT RELEASE FUNCTION
Should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be
deliberately reactivated.

1. To switch the machine on, press the green start button (53).
2. To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (54).
WARNING: Always switch off the machine when work is
finished and before unplugging.
Planing (fi g. N1, N2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as described above.
2. Adjust the fence as required.
3. Adjust the guard to provide optimum screening.
4. Set the depth of cut.
5. Switch on the machine.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it firmly
pressed against the fence.
• Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain.
• Remember to use the push stick when close to the cutterhead.
Thicknessing (fi g. A2, O1, O2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as described above.
2. Lower the guard (13).
3. Set the depth of cut.
4. Switch on the machine.
• Best results are achieved when the workpiece has at least one flat
surface.
• For optimal results, plane both sides of the workpiece to reach the
desired thickness.
