injury. Read the following safety instructions and
also the enclosed safety instructions.
Always check if your mains voltage
corresponds with the value on the type
plate.
The machine has been double-insulated
in accordance with EN 60745; therefore,
an earth wire is not necessary.
When replacing old cables or plugs
Throw away old cables or plugs immediately
as soon as new ones have replaced these. It is
dangerous to put the plug of a loose cable into the
socket outlet.
When using extension cables
Only use an approved extension cable that is
suitable for the machine’s power. The cores must
have a diameter of at least 1.5 mm
2
. When the
extension cable is on a reel, unroll the cable in its
entirety.
Immediately switch off the machine when:
• Excessive sparking of the carbon brushes and
verticiliosis in the collector.
• Interruption of the mains plug, mains lead or
mains lead damage.
• Defect switch
• Smoke or stench of scorched isolation
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
3. Assembly and operation
Before setting up, repair or maintenance
of the appliance you must always turn off
the operating switch and pull out the
mains plug!
Before initial operation
• Check if the rated voltage and rated frequency
of the mains supply correspond to the details
of the type plate.
• Place the workbench on a stable and even
base.
Operation
• To adjust the planing depth, turn the control
knob (Fig. 1, A) in a clockwise direction. On the
control knob there is a pointer (Fig. 1, A) which
shows the planing depth in mm. Turn the control
knob until the desired planing depth is shown.
Never alter the planing depth during an
operating cycle, otherwise this will result
in an uneven surface. To prevent
operating errors turn the control knob
back to “0” when planing is completed.
• Secure the work piece with clamps or similar.
• Place the front sole on the edge of the work
piece in such a way that the planing tool does
not yet touch the work piece. The work piece
must be level.
• Now insert the mains plug into the socket. To
switch on, first press the release button (Fig.
1,E), keep it pressed down while you press the
operating switch (Fig. 1,D). The appliance is
now switched on and you can let go of the
release button.
• When the machine has reached full speed it
can be pushed to the front over the work piece.
At the beginning of the planing operation, put
some pressure on the front and at the end of
the operation, on the rear of the appliance.
This results in the appliance remaining flat on
the work piece and prevents the corners from
getting rounded off.
• To obtain a level and smooth surface use a
greater planing depth when rough planing and
a lesser planing depth when planing a layer.
Hold the electric tool straight during the
operation, otherwise you will obtain an uneven
surface. After the operation switch off the
electric tool and remove the mains plug.
WARNING!
1. Take care that your hand never comes
in contact with the work piece during the
operation.
2. Only use the electric plane on the upper side
of the work piece, never from below or from the
side.
3. Store the appliance only after it has come to a
complete standstill.
• Use a suction device to suck off wood
shavings or dust. For this use the connecting
pipe and connect a suction pipe to it.
• Use a holding device to work on small work
pieces.
