Operating notes:
The planer tables are precisely aligned
ex. works. They may only be loaded
when the table-cabinet locks are
engaged, otherwise they may be
damaged or precision of machine be
lost.
Always use sharp cutter knives!
Check work piece for foreign objects
(nails, screws) and for loose knots.
Feed with thicker work piece end at
the front, hollow side downward.
Plane the stock with the grain, if
possible.
You get a better surface when planing
several passes with less chip removal.
Switch machine off if no further
planing is to be done immediately
afterwards. Cover the cutter block with
the cutter block guard.
Jointing and planing of short
workpieces may only be performed
with the help of tailor made push
woods and templates.
For the authorized use of the
machine observe the appendix A
“safe operation“
(on the last pages of this operating
manual)

6.2 Thicknessing
Correct operating position:
To feed the work piece into the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the feed opening.
Work piece handling
Adjust the planer table to the work
piece thickness.
Feed work piece slowly and straight
into the thicknesser. It will then be
automatically fed through the
thicknesser.

To remove the work piece from the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the outfeed opening.
Support long work pieces with helping
roller stands.
Operating notes:
Always use sharp cutter knives!

Work pieces shorter than 150mm may
not be processed.
Machine max. 2 work pieces at one
time. Feed on both outer sides.
