48
(Fig. L1).
2. Rotate the handle (clockwise) until it makes contact with the shaftnut.
3. Turn the elevating handle counterclockwise until it matches the hole and flat side of
theshaft.
4. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, tighten the dowel of the elevating handle (Fig. L2).
- Turn clockwise to decrease the cuttingdepth.
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the cuttingdepth.
5. Read the finished thickness of your workpiece on the depth adjustment scale
5
(Fig. L3).
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicableregulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without anyrestrictions.
Prior to Operation
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose knots. Do not plane wood that
is severely knotted orwarped.
Switching On and Off (Fig. M)
The on/off switch offers multiple advantages:
No-volt Release Function
Should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberatelyreactivated.
Motor Overload Protection Device
In case of motor overload, the power supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the
motor to cool for 2 minutes and then press the green startbutton.
1. To switch the machine on, press the green start button
53
.
2. To switch the machine off, press the red stop button
54
.

WARNING: Always switch off the machine when work is finished and beforeunplugging.
Planing (Fig. N1, N2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as describedabove.
2. Adjust the fence asrequired.
3. Adjust the guard to provide optimumscreening.
4. Set the depth ofcut.
5. Switch on themachine.
- Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it firmly pressed against
thefence.
- Feed the workpiece in the direction of thegrain.
- Remember to use the push stick when close to thecutterhead.
Thicknessing (Fig. A2, O1, O2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as describedabove.
2. Lower the guard
13
.
3. Set the depth ofcut.
4. Switch on themachine.
- Best results are achieved when the workpiece has at least one flatsurface.
- For optimal results, plane both sides of the workpiece to reach the desiredthickness.

5. Slowly feed the workpiece into themachine.
6. Feed the workpiece in the direction of thegrain.
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact the cutters. To
avoidsnipe:
1. Keep the workpiece level throughout the planingoperation.
2. Feed the workpiece flat against thetable.
Warping (Fig. P1–P4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce the desiredthickness.
Bowed Workpieces (Fig. P1, P2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece (Fig. P1). The bowed
shape, however, will return after planing (Fig.P2).
• To remove the bow, use ajointer.
Cupped Workpieces (Fig. P3, P4)
1. Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (Fig. P3).
2. Plane the pieces separately to eliminatewaste.
3. Alternatively, plane the top flat
55
first, turn the workpiece over and plane the bottom
flat
56
(Fig. P4).
Dust Extraction (Fig. A1)
The machine is provided with a 100 mm dust extraction port on the guard/chip collector
4
.
Provided with a suitable dust extraction device, 90% of the produced shaving can be caught if
the air flow is at least 20 m/s.
Connect a suitable dust extraction device during alloperations.
Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant
regulations regarding dustemission.
Transporting (Fig. Q1, Q2)
The castor wheels
30
provide an easy transport of the machine. Securely holding the handle
with both hands, transport the machine as shown in FigureQ2.
