Repeat steps 2 - 10 for the installing/changing the second blade. It is important to reverse or replace the two 
blades at the same time so they are balanced with one another. Both blades should be set to the same cutting 
level and alignment, otherwise the planed surface will be rough and uneven.

CAUTION: Tighten all clamping screws carefully when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose 
clamp- ing screw can be extremely dangerous. Check regularly to make sure that all six clamping 
screws are tight- ened securely.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

DANGER! Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.

CLEANING

Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the 
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with compressed air at low pressure. 
We recommend that you clean the device immediately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or 
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the 
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.

MAINTENANCE

There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.

STORING

Store the machine, operating instructions and where necessary the accessories in the original packaging in 
a dry place. In this way you will always have all the information and parts ready to hand.
