Before Putting into Operation

Battery Charging
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approximately 5 charging/discharging
cycles.
For removing the battery 9, press the unlocking
button 10 and pull the battery out downwards. Do
not exert any force.
The Allen key 25 necessary for replacement of
the planer blade is located inside the machine
and should always be stored there.
25
Please refer to the enclosed "Battery Charger" in-
structions for the operation of the battery charger
as well as for a description of the charging proc-
ess.
The battery is equipped with an NTC temperature
monitor which allows charging only within a tem-
perature range of between 0 °C and 45 °C. A
long battery service life is achieved in this man-
ner.
A significantly reduced working period after
charging indicates that the batteries are used and
must be replaced.
Observe the notes on environmental protec-
tion.

Adjusting the Planing Depth
The planing depth can be adjusted variably from
0 – 1.6 mm with the adjustment knob 4, using the
planing depth scale 5:
Rotation in counterclockwise direction
reduces the planing depth
Rotation in clockwise direction
creases the planing depth
Dust/Chip Vacuuming
(see figure
A
The dust that is produced while working can
be detrimental to health, inflammable or ex-
plosive. Suitable safety measures are re-
quired.
Examples: Some dusts are regarded as carci-
nogenic. Use suitable dust /chip extraction
and wear a dust respirator.
Clean the chip ejector 3 regularly. Use a suitable
tool (e. g. piece of wood, compressed air, etc.) to
clean clogged chip ejector. Do not allow fingers to
enter the chip ejector 3.
To ensure optimum extraction of dust /wood
chips, attach the vacuum hose 21 or the dust /
wood chip bag 22 tightly onto the chip ejector 3.
