b) Changing the planer blade
Use the allen key (4.1) to loosen the three allen bolts
(4.5) in the planer head until the planer blade can
be removed.

Before the new blade is fitted the cutter slot must be
cleaned. This ensures that the cutter is automatically
correctly adjusted after fitting.
Push the new planer blade (4.4) into the groove in the
tool carrier with the labelled side facing towards the
rear planer platen. Before you retighten the clamping
screws use a ruler (4.2) to align the blade in such
a way that its face lies flush with the front and rear
planer platen (4.3). Finally tighten first the centre
clamping screw and then two outer clamping screws.
Fitting the guides
The scope of delivery of the planer includes a rebat-
ing depth guide and a parallel guide.
a) Rebating depth guide
The rebating depth guide (5.1) is mounted in the
threaded hole (5.2) on the front right of the machine.
The stop can be infinitely adjusted to between 0
and 1-3⁄16" (30 mm) in accordance with the scale.
The rebating depth which has been set can be read
against the notch (5.3) in the housing.
b) Parallel guide
The parallel guide (6.2) is fitted in the threaded hole
(6.1) next to the rear planer platen .
This same point can be used to mount the swivelling
angle guide WA-HL, available as an accessory.

Dust extraction and chip ejection
The planer is equipped as standard with a connection
for chip and dust extraction.
The shift lever (7.2) can be used to select chip ejec-
tion (7.3) via the left- hand or right-hand ejector ap-
erture. Both these ejector apertures allow the fitting
of either a chip collection bag SB-HL or a Festool 36
mm dia suction hose.

The chip collection bag SB-HL is connected by
means of an adapter (7.5). The adapter (included
in the scope of delivery of the SB-HL) is fitted by
inserting its lug (7.4) into the lower edge of the chip
ejector and is secured by means of the screw (7.6)
in the threaded hole (7.1). The 36 mm dia. suction
hose can be fitted either by clamping it directly into
the chip ejector aperture or by inserting it into the
adapter in the SB-HL.
If used with materials which
produce hazardous dusts the electric tool should be
connected to a suitable extractor.
