5.
The planing speed and the planing depth determine the finish of the workpiece surface. If it is
to be roughly planed, the planing depth can be increased; for fine planing, the planing depth
must be reduced, and the tool must be moved more slowly.
Note:
Planing is easier if you tilt the workpiece forward a little so that you can plane downwards.
Warning!
•
Moving the machine too fast will give a poor result and damage the planer knives or the motor.
Moving the device too slowly can burn or mar the surface.
•
The correct planing speed depends on the material of the piece being planed and the planing
depth. First, practice on scraps so that you can develop a feeling for the right speed and the
right depth.
•
Fasten the workpiece to the workbench with clamps.
Maintenance
Replacing the drive belt
•
Removing the old belt:
◦
Remove the protective cover of the drive belt by loosening the fastening screw.
◦
Slowly turn the drive belt roller forwards with one hand (wear gloves!) and pull the drive belt
out with the other hand until it falls off the roller.
•
Installing the new belt: The new belt is installed in reverse order.
Carbon brushes and cables
•
Worn carbon brushes must be replaced in pairs. Only use original brushes for this.
•
The cable may only be replaced by a qualified electrician so that the device can maintain its
safe operation.
Cleaning
•
The ventilation slots must be cleaned regularly so that the device can always be operated safely.
•
Check at regular intervals for dust or foreign bodies in the protective ventilation grille, on the
motor and around the switches. Use a soft brush to remove any dust accumulated. Wear eye
protection while cleaning.
•
The body of the device is cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used for this.
Warning!
•
Never clean the device with alcohol, petrol, or the like.
•
Never use corrosive cleaning agents to clean the plastic parts of the device.
•
Make sure that the device never comes into contact with water.
Important!
To ensure that the device can always function safely and reliably, repair, maintenance,
and adjustment work (including checking and replacing the carbon brushes) must be carried out by a
qualified specialist and always using original spare parts.
