•
Have the switch replaced.
2. The operating switch is switched on, but unu-
sual noises can be heard, the motor is not wor-
king or only very slowly
Switch contact has fused.
•
Have the switch replaced.
Component jammed.
•
Have the electric tool checked or repaired.
Too much thrust, as a result the motor is dragging.
•
Use less thrust during the task.
3. Motor gets hot
Foreign substances have got inside the motor.
•
Have the foreign substances removed.
Lack of or contaminated lubricating grease.
•
Have lubricating grease applied or replaced.
Pressure too high.
•
Use less thrust during the task.
Planing tool blunt.
•
Replace the planing tool.
4. The motor is working, but the planing tool is
not moving
V-belt worn.
•
Have V-belt replaced.
5. Frequent or strong sparks on the commuta-
tor
Short circuit on the armature.
•
Have the armature replaced.
Carbon brushes worn out or jammed.
•
Have the carbon brushes checked.
Rough running of the commutator.
•
Have the surface of the commutator cleaned or
ground.
For your own safety, never remove parts or accessories
of the electric tool during operation. In case of fault or
damage have the electric tool repaired only by a specia-
list workshop or by the manufacturer.
Use only original spare parts and original plane bla-
des!

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. A
, E), keep it
pressed down while you press the operating switch
(
Fig. A
, 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 pres-
sure 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.
Take care that your hand never comes in contact
with the work piece during the operation.
Only use the electric planer 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 stand-
still.
•
Use a suction device to suck off wood shavings or
dust. For this use the connecting pipe (
Fig. B
, A) and
connect a suction pipe to it.
•
Use a holding device to work on small work pieces.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Before undertaking any care or maintenance
always remove the mains plug from the socket.
Fig.C
The planing tool becomes worn after a period of opera-
tion. If you use a blunt or damaged planing tool opera-
tional efficiency is reduced and the electric motor might
become overloaded. Check the planing tool regularly
with regard to wear or damage. Depending on its condi-
tion, the planing tool will have to be replaced.
REMOVAL OF PLANE BLADE
Fig. C
Use the enclosed open-jawed spanner (Accessories).
First unscrew the three clamping screws (6) with the
open-jawed spanner and remove the plane blade (3), the
plane blade holder (2) and the plane blade support (4)
from the holding shaft (1).
INSTALLATION OF PLANE BLADE
Fig. C
Take the new plane blade (3) and position it between the
plane blade support (4) and the plane blade holder (2).
Now turn the clamping screws (6) as far as possible into
the plane blade support.
But not so far that the plane blade and the plane
blade holder become detached again from the
plane blade support. Afterwards put the plane blade, plane
blade holder and plane blade support together into the hol-
ding shaft. The plane blade support, plane blade and plane
blade holder will now be fastened together in the holding shaft
by releasing the clamping screws with the open-jawed span-
ner and thus the plane blade, plane blade support and plane
blade holder are clamped in position.
Unscrew clamping screws as fas as possible so that
a sufficient attachment is ensured.
When installing and removing the plane blade,
care has to be taken that all parts (plane blade,
plane blade holder, plane blade support and holding shaft)
are clean. Dirt or possible existing layers of dirt have to be
removed.
The Allen screws (5) are secured with an adhesive. These
screws must not be adjusted. The position of these screws may
only be altered by the manufacturer!
Check regularly if the clamping screws are tightened
firmly. Always tighten screws firmly.
REPLACEMENT OF THE CARBON BRUSHES
The carbon brushes can become worn after frequent
use. A regular check after about every 100 running hours
is therefore necessary. If the carbon brushes are shorter
than 4 mm then these will have to be replaced with new
ones.
•
Remove the cover on the right.
•
Take out the carbon brushes and check these.
•
Replace the carbon brushes.
•
Replace the two screws and screw them tight.
