USING THE TOOL
CAUTION! Always wear ear protection and eye protection when working with a planer.
Safety guidelines
Personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection, protective gloves, protective clothing and safety shoes
must be worn during work. Dust masks should also be used, to protect the upper respiratory tract.
Only well-sharpened blades ensure a good planing eff ect and prolong the service life of the tool.
Do not load the planer to such an extent as to cause it to stop.
Do not plane areas containing metallic objects (nails, screws, staples, etc.).
Only tested blades approved for the speeds indicated on the tool should be used.
The battery pack must only be inserted into the tool socket when the tool is switched off .
Apply the planer to the workpiece only after it has been started.
When planing, the planer must be fi rmly in contact with the work surface with the entire surface of the skid.
Always guide the planer with both hands when working.
Evenly moving the planer during planing prolongs the life of the blades and reduces the risk of accidents.
Never insert fi ngers into the chip ejection opening. If the hole is obstructed, remove the battery from the tool socket and clean the
hole of accumulated chips with a wooden stick.
Always connect an external dust extraction system.
Take regular breaks during work.
Do not overload the tool, the temperature of the external surface must never exceed 60°C.
The planer should not be used as a stationary device.
Always follow the general instructions for safe work with power tools.
When work is fi nished, the planer may only be put away after the power supply has been switched off and the blade shaft has
come to a complete stop.
Maintenance and visual inspection should be carried out after work is completed.
Planing of surfaces (XI)
Place one hand on the handle and the other on the additional handle to grasp the planer with both hands. Adopt a fi rm and stable
posture. Place the planer on the workpiece with the front part of the planer's shoe touching the workpiece surface, making sure
that the blades do not come into contact with the workpiece surface at any point. The planer on/off switch is secured against
accidental pressing by means of a lock. The planer is started after pressing and holding the lock button and then pressing the on/
off switch. Once the motor has started, it is no longer necessary to hold down the locking button. Wait for the blades to reach full
speed, then carefully move the planer forward. The switch cannot be locked in the on position.
At the beginning of the planing, apply pressure on the front part of the planer and at the end of the planing on the rear part of the
planer.
For pre-planing, the planing depth can be increased, while for optimum surface quality, the planing depth must be reduced and
the planer must be moved slowly.
The planer has a support in the rear edge of its base, which will drop down when the rear part of the base is lifted, and when the
planer is repositioned it will prevent the blades from coming into contact with the workpiece (XII).
Lift the support before resuming work. When beginning normal operation, the support is automatically lifted when guiding the
planer along the workpiece. Caution! It is forbidden to leave the planer with rotating blades on the support.
The planer will stop when the pressure on the switch is released. The blades may still rotate for some time after switching the
motor off .
Edge planing (XIII)
The planer foot has grooves of diff erent depths for easy cutting of the workpiece edge. Turn the knob to adjust the planing
thickness. Place the planer foot so that the groove touches the edge of the workpiece. Begin work in the same manner as when
planing a surface.
Caution! Depending on the depth of the groove, the full range of planing depths may not be available. Only the central groove
allows the full range of planing depths to be used.
Rebating
Framing can be carried out using one of the included attachments. Deburring involves the partial lowering of the worked surface.
Rebating can be used to facilitate the overlapping of wooden elements. It is recommended to mark the rebate width before starting
work, for example with a line drawn with a pencil.
If a one-piece attachment is used, it must be fi tted as shown in the illustration (XIV). The graduation on the attachment shows the
rebate depth. Place the planer on the edge of the workpiece surface so that the attachment shoe rests on the whole surface of the
workpiece surface (XV). Begin planing in the same manner as when planing a surface. The attachment shoe should always be
fl ush with the workpiece surface. It is recommended to gradually deepen the rebate to the planned depth.
