DW733 thickness planer has been designed for professional cutting of wood. It
performs planing operations accurately andsafely.
With the thickness planer you can plane debarked, rectangular sawn timber of all kinds to the
desired width and thickness. The thickness planer was specially designed for planing solid
wood. The device is not suitable for cutting rebates, indentations, tenons or shapes. Metal parts
or splintering material must not be processed with this device. Do not work on wood that
has numerous knots or knotholes. Make sure that the workpiece does not contain any cables,
ropes, cords, nails or thelike.
DO NOT use under wet conditions or in the presence of flammable liquids orgases.
This thickness planer is a professional powertool.

Bench Mounting (Fig.B)
• Holes
6
are provided in all four feet to facilitate bench mounting. Two different sized holes
are provided to accommodate different sizes of bolts. Use either hole; it is not necessary
to use both. Always mount your machine firmly to prevent movement. To enhance
portability, the tool can be mounted to a piece of 12.5 mm or thicker plywood which can
then be clamped to your work support or moved to other job sites andreclamped.
• When mounting your machine to a piece of plywood, make sure that the mounting
screws do not protrude from the bottom of the wood. The plywood must sit flush on the
worksupport.
• To prevent binding and inaccuracy, be sure the mounting surface is not warped or
otherwiseuneven.

WARNING: The machine must be level and stable at alltimes.
Dust Extraction (Fig.A2, I)
Dust from materials such as lead‑containing coatings and some wood types, can be harmful
to one’s health. Breathing‑in the dust can cause allergic reactions and/or lead to respiratory
infections of the user or bystanders. Certain dust, such as oak or beech dust, is considered
carcinogenic, especially in connection with wood treatment additives.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country for the materials to be worked.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the material being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detrimental to health or carcinogenic, use dust
class M vacuum cleaner.
The machine is provided with a dust extraction adapter
14
at the rear of the machine suitable
for use with dust extraction equipment featuring 101mm nozzles. Supplied with the machine
is a reduction bush
40
for use of dust extraction nozzles of 62,5 mm diameter.
During all operations, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the
relevant regulations regarding dustemission.
Attach the dust extraction to the back of the planer as shown in Fig. I and Fig. A2. Tighten all
screws
41
securely. Attach vacuumadaptor.
