switch on the plane. Push to electric plane over the
surface with both hands and make sure that the both
the front and the rear base plate lie flat on the
workpiece.
Used a low chip depth for finishing surfaces and
complete several passes over the surface.
6.2.2 Chamfering edges (Fig. 9-10)
There is a V-shaped groove (a) in the front base
n
plate that enables you to plane edges at an angle
of 45° for a smooth finish.
Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full
n
speed. Place the V-shaped groove (a) on the
edge of the workpiece at an angle of 45°.
Now move the electric plane along the edge of
n
the workpiece.
To achieve a good quality result you should keep
n
the feed speed and angle constant.
6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 7/11)
The planing of steps is possible with the help of
n
the parallel stop (13).
Mount the parallel stop (13) on the left side of the
n
tool (see section 5.3).
To mount the depth stop fasten the step depth
n
scale (12) to the front right side of the plane
housing with the locking screw (11) (see Fig. 11).
Release the locking screw (11) and position the
n
step depth scale (12) so that the required step
depth is displayed. Tighten the locking screw
(11) again.
Width of step:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel
stop (13).
Depth of step:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2 mm
and to keep planing the workpiece until the required
depth of step is reached.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.

8. Cleaning and maintenance

Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
n
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device
n
immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
n
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.

8.2 Carbon brushes

In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
8.3. Changing the planing knives (Fig. 12-13)
Important: Always pull the plug out of the power
socket before doing any work on the equipment.
To change the planing knives, use the supplied
wrench (a).
The hand-held electric plane comes with two carbide
metal reversible knives. Reversible knives have two
cutting edges and can be reversed. The guide slot
on the reversible knives ensures the same height
setting after a change. Replace a worn, blunt or
damaged knife.
Carbide metal reversible knives cannot be re-
sharpened.
Undo the three hexagonal screws (c) using the
wrench (a) supplied and push the carbide metal
reversible knife out of the planing shaft using a piece
of wood. (see Fig. 12).
Clean the knife seat before fitting. Install the knives
in reverse order. Check that the planing knife
conforms with both ends of the planing shaft. Always
replace both knives to ensure a uniform chip depth.
Important: Before using the hand-held electric
plane make sure the knives are installed securely
and in the right place.
