INSTALLATION OF DEEP PLANING GUIDE
●
Place the deep planing guide ( 12 ) in the guide (on the right side) in the planer body and secure with the
locking knob for deep planing guide ( 1 3 ) (included) ( fig. E ).
Use the scale on the deep planing guide (
●
12 ) to set planing depth.
PLANING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT
Planer front footplate ( 6 ) is movable and it allows for planing depth adjustment.
Planing depth can be adjusted with the knob for planing depth adjustment ( 1 ) and the range is 0 – 3 mm,
shown on the planing depth scale ( 7 ) located on its circumference ( fig. F ).
OPERATION / SETTINGS
SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF
The ma ins volt a ge m ust ma tch the volt a ge on the r a ting pl a te of the pl a ner. Hold the pl a ner with
both h a nds when st a rting up a nd during oper a tion.
The planer features switch that protects against unintentional starting up.
Switching on:
Press the switch lock button (
●
3 ) ( fig. G ).
Press the switch button (
●
2 ).
Switching off:
Release pressure on the switch button (
●
2 ).
Hold the pl a ner fir m ly with both h a nds before switching it on. Switch on the pl a ner only when the
front footpl a te rests on the ma teri a l th a t you pl a n to process a nd the pl a ner bl a des do not touch
ma teri a l. This position prevents too e a rly cont a ct of bl a des with ma teri a l. St a rt the work only a fter
the pl a ner re a ches its top rot a tion a l speed.
When using the planer, try to position planer footplate and surface of processed material in parallel. Guide the
planer with both hands, move it smoothly and continuously on the material surface. Effects of work depend
on speed of planer movement and depth of planing. Coarse processing uses bigger planing depth. During
fine processing it is recommended to set small planing depth and to proceed with work in few runs.
Do not press the pl a ner too h a rd. Pressure should be m oder a te a nd unifor m on the whole surf a ce
of cont a ct of foot a nd processed ma teri a l. Applying too big pressure c a uses undesir a ble drop of
rot a tion a l speed, m otor overhe a ting, d ama ge of processed ma teri a l a nd p a rts of the pl a ner. M a ke

DEEP PLANING
You can use the deep planing guide and the parallel guide to make hollows in material.
Attach the parallel guide (
●
9 ) and the deep planing guide ( 12 ).
Set planing width and depth.
●
Process the material (
●
fig. H ).
PROCESSING CORNERS (CHAMFERING)
V-grooves ( 18 ) located on the front footplate ( 6 ) ( fig. I ) allow for quick processing (chamfering) of edges
of processed material. Place one of the V-grooves on the edge of processed material and move the planer
forward, make sure to keep the 45
0 angle ( fig. J ).
PARK REST
Park rest ( 22 ) allows to put away the planer safely during operation without the risk of damaging processed
surface or the planer blades. The park rest ( 22 ) lifts up when processing and releases the back footplate of
the planer ( fig. L ).
