smaller pulley, while simultaneously turning the belt with the bigger pulley (III), until the belt has come off the smaller pulley.
Install a new belt on the bigger pulley and make sure the wedges at the internal side of the belt are aligned with the grooves of the
pulley. Placing the belt on the smaller pulley, simultaneously turn the belt with the bigger pulley, until the belt has been placed on
the smaller pulley. Make sure all the wedges at the internal side of the belt are aligned with the grooves of the pulleys (IV).
Installation and replacement of knives
Before changing blades, it is recommended to remove the drive belt guard (II), which will make it easier to manoeuvre the drum
during blade assembly. The blades should be disassembled one by one in order to maintain the correct assembly pattern.
To dismantle the blade, the screws fi xing the blade holder must be screwed in (V). Remove the handle and the clamping rail with
blade (VI) and then unscrew the screws fi xing the blade to the clamping rail (VII). Thoroughly clean the place of installation of the
blade, the blade and all fi xing elements from dust generated during operation, e.g. with a soft bristle brush.
Secure the new blade to the fi xing rail with screws. The holes in the rail allow the blade to be moved. Then slide the rail with the
attached blade into the slot of the drum. Pay attention to the correct assembly direction, turn the drum and install the blade holder
in the same manner as for the other blades. Mount the blade holder and tighten all fi xing screws. The edge of the blade holder
should be parallel to the edge of the drum gap (VIII). Repeat the operation for the remaining blades. Always replace the blades
as a set. Rotate the drum with the mounted blades a few full turns in one direction and the other and make sure that the blades or
fi xing elements do not catch on the tool structure. Install the drive belt guard.
Caution! It is forbidden to use the planer without the drive belt guard installed.
PREPARATION FOR WORK
Before work make sure the body and the cord with plug are not damaged.
In case any damage is detected it is prohibited to operate the tool.
Attention! All the activities related to replacement of the knives, the transmission belt, installation of the guards and
guides, adjustments, etc. must be carried out with the power off , so fi rst: Remove the plug of the cord of the grinder
from the socket!
Before fi rst operation of the plane, check the adjustments and installation of the knives and the knife shaft.
Adjustments of the depth of planing (IX)
Adjust the required planing depth, turning the planing depth adjustment knob. The setting may be read out from the scale around
the knob.
Chip extraction
The planer is equipped with a bag to collect chips and dust generated during operation, but it is recommended to use an external
chip and dust extraction system, e.g. an industrial vacuum cleaner. The use of an external dust extraction system improves effi -
ciency and safety at work.
The planer can be connected to a bag or an external dust extraction system on both sides of the housing. To transfer the connector
to the dust extraction system, push and hold the locking latch (X) and then slide the sleeve out of the planer housing. Slide the
sleeve into the housing from the other side. The sleeve has a guide rail which must fi t into the housing notch (XI). Otherwise it will
not be possible to install the sleeve in the housing. Slide the sleeve to the end so that the latch locks the sleeve in the housing.
Correctly fi xed sleeves shall not be disassembled otherwise than by sliding and holding the locking latch.
Connect the end of the external dust extraction system to the spigot in such a manner that it does not interfere with work and does
not obstruct the view of the working area.
The bag is mounted on the spigot by pressing the handles of the bag inlet ring so that the ring enlarges its diameter, which will
allow it to be mounted on the planer spigot. The ring should be placed in such a manner that it rests against the spigot fl ange to
prevent accidental sliding of the bag off the spigot during operation.
OPERATION OF THE TOOL
ATTENTION! During work with the plane it is required to always wear hearing protectors and eye protectors.
Safety instructions
During operation of the tool it is required to use personal protection means, such as sight protection, hearing protection, gloves,
protective clothes and shoes. It is also required to use dust masks to protect the respiratory system.
Only well sharpened knives ensure correct planing and prolong the durability of the tool.
Do not overload the plane to the point when it stops.
Do not ever proceed to plane surfaces with metal elements (nails, screws, stitches etc.).
Use only verifi ed knives which are approved for the rotational speed indicated on the tool.
The plug of the tool may be inserted into the mains socket only if the device is off .
The power supply cord must be always placed behind the device.
The plane must be applied to the processed object only after it has been started.
