connection in its place.
7. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
The planer is equipped with an upwardly-engaging
safety button, which avoids the machine from being
started up accidentally.
To start up the machine, press down on the safety
button D while depressing the power button E (Fig. 2).
8. ADJUSTING PASS DEPTH
When trimming and/or smoothing or finishing work
is required, turn knob G (Fig. 2) until the proper pass
depth is achieved (maximum sanding depth: 1 mm).
To chamfer the edges of a workpiece quickly and
easily, place the front groove "V" of the centre of
the planer shoe onto the workpiece edge and guide
the planer forward evenly, maintaining an angle of
45º (Fig. 3).
9. CHANGING THE ABRASIVE ROLLER
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before performing any mainte-
nance operation.
In order to change the abrasive roller, proceed as
follows:
- Loosen knob J (Fig. 4)
- Remove the protective cover K (Fig. 4), first lifting
it by the tab and swivelling it until the abrasive roller
L can be accessed freely (Fig. 4)
- Loosen the lock nut M (Fig. 4)
- Remove the abrasive roller L (Fig. 4), sliding it off
laterally.
Ensure that the roller head N (Fig. 5) is
totally free of chips, dust, etc, before
installing the new abrasive roller.
Before inserting the new roller, also check that the
O-ring seals O-P (Fig. 5) are in good condition and
show no signs of cracking or pitting, and are correctly
fitted in place.
Insert the new roller, following the steps provided
for disassembly in inverse order.
- Check that the roller is flush with the base H (Fig.
6); if it requires adjustment, proceed as follows:
- Raise or lower the base H (Fig. 7) by turning the
regulating screw I (Fig. 7) with the 3-mm a/f Allen
6
wrench supplied with the machine until the roller
is aligned with the base (Fig. 6)
10. CHANGING O-RING SEALS
If it is observed that O-ring seals are worn out,
proceed as follows to replace them:
- Remove the nut M, the press cap Q and the O-ring
seals O (Fig. 5), replacing them with new original
VIRUTEX seals.
- Remove the O-ring seals P from their grooves in
the roller head N and press cap Q, replacing them
with new original VIRUTEX seals (Fig. 5)
11. CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION BELT
Unscrew screws S (Fig. 8) and remove protection
R. Replace the worn belt T with a VIRUTEX original
spare, taking care to fit it correctly into the pulley
cogs, never forcing it.
12 MAINTENANCE OF THE
BRUSHES AND COLLECTOR
Disconnect from the mains before
carrying out any maintenance ope-
rations.
The brushes must be replaced when they reach a
minimum length of 5 mm (Fig. 5)
Unscrew the black caps U (Fig. 5) on the housing and
remove the brushes from the guide. Replace them
with new Virutex original spares, ensuring that they
move smoothly inside the guides. Screw on the cap
which covers them and leave the machine running
for 15 minutes.
If the collector is burned or uneven
it should be repaired by a Virutex
service agent.
13. CLEANING THE MACHINE
It is important to always clean the machine carefully
after use with a dry air blower.
Keep the power cable in perfect condition.
Keep the machine's vent and cooling openings clean
and unobstructed.
