control over your planing operations. Besides
you do not risk becoming in touch with the
moving parts.
• 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.
Bevelling edges
Fig. 1
The V-groove in the planer shoe allows easy
beveling of workpiece edges. Place the planer
with the V-groove (7) onto the edge of the
workpiece and guide along the edge.
Warning! Use spindle lock only in stand
still mode.
• Take care that your hand never comes in
contact with the work piece during the
operation.
• Only use the electric plane on the upper side
of the work piece, never from below or from
the side.
• 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.

4. CARE & MAINTENANCE
Before undertaking any care or
maintenance always remove the mains
plug from the socket.
The planing tool becomes worn after a period of
operation. If you use a blunt or damaged planing
tool operational efficiency is reduced and the
electric motor might become overloaded. Check
the planing tool regularly with regard to wear or
damage. Depending on its condition, the planing
tool will have to be replaced or sharpened.
Removal of plane blade
Fig. 2
Use the enclosed spanner (11). First unscrew the
three clamping screws (1) and remove the drum
cover (2) and plane blade (3), from the drum (4).
Sharpening the blades
Fig. 3a
To sharpen the blades first remove the two screws
(5) and the adjusting plate (6). Fit the planing
blades (3) into the sharpening holder (6) as
shown in the right figure and tighten the butterfly
nuts.. Use a wet sharpening stone, and keep
the holder so that both blades contact the stone
simultaneously, and sharpen the blades.
Adjusting the blades
Fig. 3b
If needed first loosely replace the adjusting plate
(6) with the two screws (5). Push the sharp edge
against the back of the adjustment tool (7), and
line up the adjusting plate (6) with the edge of the
adjustment tool (7) and tighten the screws (5).
Your plane blades are now correctly adjusted, and
can be replaced on the drum.
Installation of plane blade
Fig. 2
Take a (new) plane blade (3) and position it
between the drum cover (2) and the drum (4). With
the adjustment plate (6) in the groove of the drum
(4). Now fasten the clamping screws (5) into the
drum.
