5. Operating Instructions
IMPORTANT: Planing requires a low pressure from your side. Too much pressure will place unnecessary load on the
motor. Check the blades regularly. Replace damaged or blunt blades.
a. Mounting the parallel guide (fig. A)
• Insert the guide (11) through the holes at the front of the planer.
• Set to the desired distance.
• Lock the guide by means of the fixing knob (12).
b. Setting the planing depth (fig. A)
• Turn the adjustment knob (1) until the desired planing depth is reached.
• Read the depth setting from the scale just below the adjustment knob.
c. Fitting the dust bag (fig. A)
Use the dust exhaust together with the dust bag to extract dust from the working surface.
• Slide the dust bag (3) into the dust exhaust.
• Empty the bag regularly for optimum dust extraction.
d. Fitting and replacing the cutters (fig. B)
CAUTION: Unplug the device first. The cutters must have come to a complete stop before replacing it. Always
replace the cutters by pair.
• Place the device on a table with the shoe pointing towards you.
• Rotate the cylinder (2) until the first cutter (1) is visible.
• Loosen the screws (5) slightly.
• Carefully remove the cutter by sliding it outwards through the cut out in the planer body. Take care as the cutters
are double edged and very sharp.
• Slide the new cutter or turn the old cutter so tat the new cutting edge is facing upwards into the cutter support (3)
until it is central in the cylinder.
• Tighten the screws (5) until the cutter support (3) and the cutter (1) are firmly clamped.
• To replace the second cutter, rotate the cylinder 180° and repeat the above described steps.
e. Rescaling the planing depth (fig. A & B)
REMARK: The Allen screws (4) are factory set and shouldn't be readjusted.
If you should encounter wrong zero adjustment, please follow the steps below.
• Set the planing depth to 0 by means of the planing depth adjustment knob (1).
• Turn the Allen screws (4) in or out to determine the correct adjustment.
• The cutters are properly adjusted when the cutting edge touches the surface of the work piece.
f. Switching ON/OFF
• Switching on: Press the ON/OFF switch (6) while pushing the unlock button (5) to the back.
• Switching off: release the ON/OFF switch
