General planing (Fig. F)
WARNING!
During operation fine dust will be generated!
These dusts are highly inflammable and explosive! Do not smoke during
operation, keep heat sources and open flames out of the working area!
Always wear a dust mask to protect yourself against hazards resulting
from fine dust!
1. Adjust the desired planing depth.
2. Hold the product with one hand on the main handle (3), and with the other hand on
the cutting depth adjustment knob (9).
3. Switch the product on and wait until it runs at full speed before placing it on the
workpiece.
WARNING!
Danger of kickback! Apply the product to the workpiece
only when switched on!
4. Place the front plate (18) flat on the workpiece and push the product forward at an
even speed. Apply light consistent pressure against the workpiece to achieve an
even result.
5. Turn the cutting depth adjustment knob (9) anticlockwise to retract the blades after
finishing your work.
• Always make a trial cut before working on the actual workpiece,
especially after replacing or adjusting the planing depth.
• To achieve high-grade surfaces: work only with low feed with slight
consistent pressure on the centre of the planer base plate. Use small
depths of cut and repeat the planing process.
• When machining hard materials (e.g. hardwood) as well as when
utilising the maximum planer width, set only low planing depths and
reduce planer feed, as required.
• Excessive feed reduces the surface quality and can lead to rapid
clogging of the chip ejector.
• Only sharp blades achieve good cutting capacity and give the
machine longer life.
