Care and maintenance
Before undertaking any care or
maintenance always remove the mains
plug from the socket.
The planing tool becomes worn after a period of
operation. If you use a blunt or damaged planing
tool operational efficiency is reduced and the
electric motor might become overloaded. Check
the planing tool regularly with regard to wear or
damage. Depending on its condition, the planing
tool will have to be replaced.
Removal of plane blade
Fig.2
Use the enclosed open-jawed spanner
(Accessories). First unscrew the three clamping
screws (6) with the open-jawed spanner and
remove the plane blade (3), the plane blade
holder (2) and the plane blade support (4) from
the holding shaft (1).
Installation of plane blade
Fig.2
Take the new plane blade (3) and position it
between the plane blade support (4) and the
plane blade holder (2). Now turn the clamping
screws (6) as far as possible into the plane blade
support.
But not so far that the plane blade and the plane
blade holder become detached again from the
plane blade support. Afterwards put the plane
blade, plane blade holder and plane blade support
together into the holding shaft. The plane blade
support, plane blade and plane blade holder
will now be fastened together in the holding
shaft by releasing the clamping screws with the
open-jawed spanner and thus the plane blade,
plane blade support and plane blade holder are
clamped in position.
Attention:
Unscrew clamping screws as fas as possible so
that a sufficient attachment is ensured.
Warning!
1. When installing and removing the plane blade,
care has to be taken that all parts (plane
blade, plane blade holder, plane blade support
and holding shaft) are clean. Dirt or possible
existing layers of dirt have to be removed.
2. The Allen screws (5) are secured with an
Ferm
adhesive. These screws must not be adjusted.
The position of these screws may only be
altered by the manufacturer!
Check regularly if the clamping screws
are tightened firmly. Always tighten
screws firmly.
Replacement of the carbon brushes
The carbon brushes can become worn after
frequent use. A regular check after about every
100 running hours is therefore necessary. If the
carbon brushes are shorter than 4 mm then these
will have to be replaced with new ones.
• Remove the cover on the right.
• Take out the carbon brushes and check these.
• Replace the carbon brushes.
• Replace the two screws and screw them tight.
4. Maintenance
Make sure that the machine is not live
when carrying out maintenance work on
the motor.
These appliances are designed to function without
difficulty for a long time and to require minimum
maintenance. You will prolong the appliance's life
by cleaning it regularly and using it correctly.
Cleaning
Clean the housing regularly with a soft cloth,
preferably every time it is used. Keep the air vents
free of dust and dirt.
Remove stubborn dirt with a soft rag moistened
in soapy water. Do not use any solvents such as
petrol, alcohol, ammonia, etc. as such substances
can damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The appliance does not need any extra
lubrication.
Corrective action in case of failure
1. The operating switch is switched on, but
the motor is not working.
• The electric circuit is broken.
• Have the electric circuit repaired.
• Wires in the mains plug or in the socket are
loose.
• Have socket and plug checked or repaired.
• The switch is faulty.
