Residual risks
Even if you use this electric power tool in
accordance with instructions, certain residual
risks cannot be rules out. The following hazards
may arise in connection with the equipment's
construction and layout:
1. Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask
is used.
2. Damage to hearing if no suitable ear protection is
used.
3. Health damage caused by hand-arm vibrations if
the equipment is used over a prolonged period or
is not properly guided and maintained.

5. Before starting the equipment

Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
5.1 Adjusting the chip depth (Fig. 4/Item 1)
You can adjust the chip depth in steps of 0.1 mm
from 0 to 3 mm by turning the setting knob for the
chip depth (1).
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a
clockwise direction to set a greater chip depth.
Greater chip depth
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a
counter-clockwise direction to set a lower chip depth.
Lower chip depth
Parking soleplate (Fig. 16)
With the parking soleplate (14), the electric plane can
be put down directly after use without risk of
damaging the workpiece or planing knife. During use,
the parking soleplate (14) is swiveled up to uncover
the rear part of the planing soleplate.
18
Note: The parking soleplate (14) is not designed to
be removed.
After finishing work, set the chip depth so that the
knives are lowered and thus protected from damage.
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth to position
"0" for this purpose.
5.2 Sawdust extraction (Fig. 5-6)
For an optimal sawdust extraction you can connect
the supplied dust bag (2) to the hand-held electric
plane. To do so, slide the dust bag (2) into the the
chip ejector (7) of the hand-held electric plane. The
dust bag (2) can be connected to the chip ejector (7)
optionally on either the left or right. Use the
changeover switch (9) to select between the chip
ejectors (7).
5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 7/Item 13)
Use the parallel stop (13) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 7)
Fasten the mount (d) of the parallel stop to the
n
left side of the tool using the supplied thumb
screw (a).
Now connect the mount (d) to the slide of the
n
parallel stop (13).
The guide rail must always be aligned in
n
downward direction.
Fix the distance required between the parallel
n
stop and the edge of the workpiece.
Fasten the parts with the carriage bolt (b) and
n
the wing nut (c).
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 8)
The hand-held electric plane comes with a safety
n
switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
To switch on the tool press the side safety lock-
n
off (3) and press the button switch.
Release the button switch (4) to switch off the
n
electric plane. The button switch (4) jumps back
into its starting position.

6.2 Practical tips

Important: Only ever bring the hand-held electric
plane towards the workpiece while switched on.
6.2.1 Planing surfaces
Now adjust the desired chip depth. Equip the front
base plate and place the hand-held electric plane
onto the piece of wood you whish to plane. Then
