Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Ensure that the connection cables are dis-
connected from electrical power when checking for
damage.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the ap-
plicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use connection
cables of the same designation.
The printing of the type designation on the connection
cable is mandatory.
For single-phase AC motors, we recommend a fuse
rating of C 16A or K 16A for machines with a high start-
ing current (from 3000 watts)!
13. Cleaning
Danger!
Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any
cleaning work.
• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor
housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub
the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with
compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device directly
after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp
cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning
products or solvents; they could attack the plastic
parts of the device. Make sure that no water can
penetrate the device interior. Water penetrating
an electric device increases the risk of an electric
shock.
14. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry and
frost-free place that is inaccessible to children. The op-
timum storage temperature lies between 5 and 30 ˚C.
Store the tool in its original packaging. Cover the tool
to protect it from dust or moisture. Store the operating
manual with the tool.
•
Make sure that the workpiece is pressed firmly
against the stop.
• Push the workpiece gently from right to left against
the direction of rotation of the tool.
• Keep the feed speed constant. Do not push too fast,
this would slow down the motor too much.
• If you push too fast, you could get a poor quality
cut. This could also damage the cutter or the motor.
• If you push too slowly, burn marks could appear on
the workpiece.
• With very hard wood and large cuts, it may be nec-
essary to do more than one working step to achieve
the desired depth.
• The correct feed rate depends on the cutter size,
the material type of the workpiece and the cutting
depth.
Practise with a piece of waste material first to
find the right feed speed and dimensions.
• The machine is equipped with an overload switch
to protect the motor. In the event of an overload,
the machine stops automatically. After a while, the
overload switch can be reset.
12. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and ready
for operation. The connection complies with the appli-
cable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer‘s mains connection as well as the ex-
tension cable used must also comply with these reg-
ulations.
Damaged electrical connection cable
The insulation on electrical connection cables is often
damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Pressure points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been improp-
erly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the wall
outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
