BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply
make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical
to the mains data. Please ensure that the unit is not
connected to the electrical supply before making
adjustments to the equipment.
ASSEMBLY
Note: Before carrying out any assembly or disassembly
of the unit please ensure that the unit is not connected
to the electrical supply.
ADJUSTING THE DEPTH OF CUT (FIG.4/ ITEM 1)
The depth of cut scale is marked in increments of
0.1mm to a maximum depth of cut of 3.0mm.
To increase the depth of cut rotate the depth
adjustment knob clockwise. To decrease the depth of
cut, turn the depth adjustment knob anti-clockwise.
Always return the knob to the 0 position when the
planing operation is finished.
SAWDUST EXTRACTION (FIGS. 5-6)
For an optimal sawdust extraction you can connect the
supplied dust bag (2) to the hand-held electric plane.
To do so, slide the dust bag (2) into the chip ejector (7).
The dust bag (2) can be connected to the chip ejector
(7) optionally on either the left or right.
Use the changeover switch (9) to select between the
chip ejectors (7). It is recommended that the dust
extraction facility is used at all times.
PARALLEL GUIDE (FIG.7/ ITEM 13)
Use the parallel guide (13) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
FITTING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (FIG.7)
Fasten the mount (d) of the parallel guide to the left
side of the tool using the supplied thumb screw (a).
Now connect the mount (d) to the slide of the parallel
guide (13).
The guide rail must always be aligned in downward
direction.
Fix the distance required between the parallel stop and
the edge of the workpiece.
Fasten the parts with the carriage bolt (b) and the wing
nut (c).
OPERATION
ON/OFF SWITCH (FIG.8)
The hand-held electric plane comes with a safety
switch which is designed to prevent accidental starting.
To start the machine press in the side safety lockoff
button (3) on the side of the handle and squeeze the
ON/OFF switch (4).
When the machine starts the safety button can be
released. To stop the machine release the ON/OFF
switch (4).
PRACTICAL TIPS
IMPORTANT!
Only ever bring the hand-held electric plane towards
the workpiece while switched on.
PLANING SURFACES
Press in the safety button on the side of the handle,
then squeeze the ON/OFF trigger. Wait until the motor
reaches full speed, then bring the planer into contact
with the work piece. Using firm, even pressure push
the planer along the work piece. Keep the planer
parallel with the work piece, do not over reach and use
both hands at all times. Smooth actions result in a
smooth finish.
If excessive force is required inspect the blades for
sharpness and replace.
Used a low chip depth for finishing surfaces and
complete several passes over the surface.
CHANFERING EDGES (FIGS 9-10)
There is a V-shaped groove (a) in the front base plate
that enables you to plane edges at an angle of 45° for
a smooth finish, Fig.9.
Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full speed.
Place the V-shaped groove (a) on the edge of the
workpiece at an angle of 45°, Fig.10. Now move the
electric plane along the edge of the workpiece.
To achieve a good quality result you should keep the
feed speed and angle constant.
PLANING STEPS (FIG. 7 & 11)
The planing of steps is possible with the help of the
parallel stop (13).
Mount the parallel stop (13) on the left side of the tool.
To mount the depth stop fasten the step depth scale
(12) to the front right side of the plane housing with the
locking screw (11) (See Fig. 11).
Release the locking screw (11) and position the step
depth scale (12) so that the required step depth is
displayed.
Tighten the locking screw (11) again.
WIDTH OF STEP:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel stop
(13).
DEPTH OF STEP:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2 mm
and to keep planing the workpiece until the required
depth of step is reached.
REMOVING THE BLADE (FIG.12)
Warning! Before carrying out any maintenance or
adjustments the machine must be disconnected from
the mains power supply.
