If you notice any working defects, switch off the
power tool and consult the chapter “Problems,
causes and solutions”.
When not using the tool, turn it off and discon-
nect the plug from the socket.
USER INSTRUCTIONS
After reading the previous chapters carefully,
apply these tips scrupulously to obtain maximum
performance.
Proceed calmly so as to become familiar with
all the controls; after having gained sufficient
experience, you will be able to make full use of
its capacities.
BLADES
Buy quality blades, in the sizes indicated in the
tool’s technical details and change them accor-
ding to the wood to be worked; contact your local
dealer who will be able to best advise you. Our
company produces a wide range of accessories
suitable for various uses.
During use, the blades become worn, lose their
sharpness, become damaged and break: always
perform a visual check before using and replace
if necessary. Remember that the finish of the
workpiece also depends on the blades condition.
For the assembly and replacement, see the
chapter “MAINTENANCE- Blade replacement”.
Handle and store the blades with care; do not
expose them to impact, bending, compression,
moisture; protect them from corrosion with oil.
USE
!
!
IMPORTANT! It is forbidden to use the tool
with only one hand.
Wear the personal protective equipment listed
in the “Warnings” chapter.
The piece you are working on must always be
firmly secured to the workbench, using a vice or
other device, especially when working on small,
lightweight pieces.
It is possible to adjust the depth by pressing the
release button (pos.5) and by turning the knob
(pos.4). This must be predetermined by the
surface finish you wish to obtain, the hardness
of the wood, the width of the workpiece and the
moving speed. Look at the table below and carry
out tests on scrap pieces.

For hard woods and/or large workpieces, work
slowly removing only small amounts of material.
Hold the device with both hands. The power
cord must be kept far from the rotating parts
and from your body.
Start the tool, keeping it far away from your
body. When the tool is turned on, handle with
caution, as any carelessness may cause even
serious injury; therefore keep unauthorised
persons, children and pets away from the work
area.
Under no circumstances put your hands
under the tool.
The normal position for the user is with arms
slightly stretched forward, with the functioning
tool in front of you; keep your legs slightly apart
and keep a stable position without losing your
balance.
The tool must be started before coming into
contact with the workpiece, otherwise you may
undergo a kickback because the blade gets stuck
in the workpiece.
Depending on the type of process, perform on
the part carefully and proceed gradually without
making forceful movements. Excessive pressure
on the workpiece could cause the blades to bre-
ak; in addition, the power tool will be put under
even more strain and it will not have a long life
span and will stop functioning. While guiding
the tool forward, do not lift it and do not tilt it
from side to side.
Avoid getting your face too close to the work
area and always keep a certain safety distance.
FLAT PLANING
To carry out flattening and to reduce the
thickness of beams, slats, etc.
Rest the front part of the tool (pos.6) on the first
part of the wooden workpiece and, with the tool
running, move the tool forward over the surface
of the workpiece, pressing down slightly on it.
We recommend that you do not pause with the
tool on the workpiece or interrupt the machining,
which should be carried out from the beginning
