12. Troubleshooting Guide
Danger!
Before carrying out any fault service or main-
tenance work, always:
1. switch machine OFF;
2. Wait until the cutterblock has come to a
complete stop.
3. Unplug power cable;
Cutting hazard when touching the
rotating cutterblock!
Unintentional startup of the machine may lead
to serious injuries.
Risk of burning!
Shortly after working the planer knives
may be hot - Let the device cool down before
rectifying any malfunction.
Danger!
Check to see that: all safety devices are
operational after each fault service.
Motor does not run:
• Undervoltage relay tripped by temporary
voltage failure.
- switch on again.
• No mains voltage.
20
- Check cables, plug, outlet and mains fuse.
• Motor has overheated, e.g. due to blunt planer
knives, overloading or chip buildup.
- Remove cause for overheating and allow to
cool down for approx. 10 minutes, then start
again.
• Activate the contact pins, not the contact switch.
- For operation as thickness planer: Check if the
setting screw (2) of the chip chute (3) is turned
to the end position and correct if necessary.
Only then the contact switch is activated and
the machine can be switched on (see chapter
10.1).
- For operation as surface planer: Check if the
outfeed table is correctly mounted. Check if
the chip extraction guard is mounted correctly.
Only then the contact switch is activated and
the machine can be switched on (see chapter
9.1).
- If necessary, adjust contact pins. Please
contact the customer service, see chapter 14.
Performance lessens
• Planer knives blunt
- Install sharp knives.
• Drive belt slips
- Re-tension drive belt (see chapter 11.3).
Planed surface not smooth
• Planer knives blunt
- Install sharp knives.
• Planer knives blocked by chips
- remove chips.
• Moisture contents of work piece too high
- Dry work piece.
Planed surface cracked
• Planer knives blunt
- Install sharp knives.
• Planer knives blocked by chips
- remove chips.
• Work piece was planed against the grain
- Plane work piece in opposite direction
• Too much material removed in one pass
- Make several passes at less depth of cut.
Feed rate too little (thicknessing)
• Resin buildup on thicknesser bed
- Clean thicknesser bed and apply light coat of
anti-seize compound.
• Feed rollers stiff
- Repair feed rollers.
• Drive belt slips
- Re-tension drive belt (see chapter 11.3).
Work piece jammed
(thicknessing)
• Too much material removed in one pass
- Make several passes at less depth of cut.

14. Repairs
Danger!
Repairs to electrical tools must ONLY be
carried out by qualified electricians!
Contact your local Metabo representative if you
have Metabo power tools requiring repairs. For
addresses see www.metabo.com.
You can download a list of spare parts from
www.metabo.com.
15. Environmental Protection
Observe national regulations on environmentally
compatible disposal and on the recycling of
disused machines, packaging and accessories.
Packaging materials must be disposed of
according to their labelling in accordance with
municipal guidelines. Further information can be
found at www.metabo.com in the "Service"
section.
Only for EU countries: never dispose of
power tools in your household waste!
According to European Directive 2012/19/
EU on Waste from Electric and Electronic Equip-
ment and implementation in national law, used
power tools must be collected separately and recy-
cled in an environmentally-friendly manner.

The technical specifications quoted are subject to
tolerances (in compliance with relevant valid
standards).
Emission values
These values make it possible to assess the
emissions from the power tool and to compare
different power tools. The actual load may be
higher or lower depending on operating condi-
tions, the condition of the power tool or the acces-
sories used. Please allow for breaks and periods
when the load is lower for assessment purposes.
Arrange protective measures for the user, such as
organisational measures based on the adjusted
estimates.
