Dust Extraction; Initial Operation - IVT PL-560-RC Manual De Instrucciones

and screws. Use only cutter blades that have been
properly checked and are approved for use at the speed
specified on the planer.
∙ While planing, the planer must always lie flat at all
points.
∙
Always use both hands to guide the planer.
∙ Move the planer evenly forward over the workpiece
to increase the useful life of the planer cutters and
reduce hazards.
∙ Never put your fingers in the chip discharge hole.
If the discharge hole is blocked, pull out the plug
and remove the chips from the discharge hole with a
wooden stick.
∙
On completing work do not put the planer down
until the cutter shaft has stopped rotating.
∙
Before using the planer for the first time check the
setting and seating of the cutter blade and cutter shaft.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all
components are included. Refer to the drawings on this
manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call
an IVT assistance center.

DUST EXTRACTION

Dust extraction
accumulations
concentrations of dust in the ambient air,
and facilitates disposal.
For long periods of working with wood or for commercial
use on materials that produce dust that is detrimental
to health, the machine is to be connected to a suitable
external dust extraction device.

INITIAL OPERATION

Always use the correct supply voltage: the power supply
voltage must match the information quoted on the tool
identification plate.
SWITCHING ON / OFF [F1]

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting cut depth [F2]
Turn the additional handle with cut-depth set (6) to the
right as far as it stops.
∙
Put the planer on a flat surface and turn the
additional handle with cut-depth set (6) to the left until
the planer sole plate lies flat on the surface and the «0»
mark on the knob is level with the mark on the housing.
To set the desired cut depth turn the knob to the right for
any cut depth up to a permitted maximum of 1 mm. The
marks on the setting knob serve as a guide.
Planing
First, place the forward sole plate of the planer flat on
the surface of the workpiece, but so that the cutters do
not come into contact with it.
Start the planer up and wait for the cutters to reach full
speed.
Then push the planer carefully forward. When starting
planing, apply pressure to the front end of the planer
and, when finishing planing, to the rear end.
Planing is easier if the workpiece is set at an angle, so
that you work forward and downwards.
The speed and cut depth determine the surface quality.
The planer cuts evenly at a speed which prevents
jamming through chips.
For rough-cutting the cut depth can be increased, while
for optimum surface quality the cut depth should be
reduced and the planer moved more slowly.
Rabbeting [F3]
To make a stepped cut, use the parallel guide (8).
∙
Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the
parallel guide (8) into the hole in the front of the tool.
∙ Align the blade edge (20) with the cutting line.
∙
Adjust the parallel guide (8) until it comes in
contact with the side of the workpiece, then secure it by
tightening the screw (21).
When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush
with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise uneven
planing may result.
Bevelling and chamfering edges [F4]
The V-groove (5) on the bottom of the front sole plate
makes it possible to chamfer the edges of the workpiece.
∙
Place the 90° V-groove (5) on the edge of the
workpiece and move it along it.
