Chamfering
The V-grooves on the bottom of the soleplate
makes it possible to chamfer the edges of
the workpiece.
Work procedure
In order to achieve a smooth, even surface on the workpiece it is best to begin with
a coarse/deeper cut and then reduce the cutting depth and finish with a finer cut.
Hold the planer firmly and feed it slowly and steadily over the workpiece. Switch off
and unplug the planer as soon as you have finished work.
Small workpieces
Make sure that small workpieces are firmly clamped or held in a vice.
Care and maintenance
• Always unplug the mains lead from the wall socket before any servicing or cleaning.
• Wipe the planer clean with a dry cloth and vacuum clean if necessary.
• Check that the holes in the motor housing ventilation (2) are free from dust and debris.
• Unplug the planer and store it in a dry environment out of children’s reach
whenever it is not in use.
Changing blades
Warning:
Always unplug the mains lead from the wall socket before any servicing or
maintenance.
• When the planer blades have been used for a while they might be too blunt to
produce a clean cut and smooth finish. Continued use of blunt or worn blades will
result in a poor surface finish and could overload the motor. The blades should
therefore be checked regularly and turned over or replaced if necessary.
• The tungsten carbide tipped blades are double-edged and can be turned over and
the other edge used once one of the edges is worn.
• The tool for changing or adjusting the blades is kept in the blade tool holder (12).
• The cutting depth of the blade seldom needs to be adjusted. Do not undo the set
screws (20) until you are certain that the cutting depth needs adjusting.
