7. Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged,
it must be replaced by its authorized after-sales
service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
•
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the
motor housing free of dirt and dust as far as
possible. Wipe the equipment with a clean
cloth or blow it with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualied electrician
and/or an authorized service agent.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualied electrician or the
authorized service technician.
8.3. Changing the planing knives (Fig. 14-16)
Danger! Always pull the plug out of the power so-
cket before doing any work on the equipment.
To change the planing knives, use the supplied
wrench (a). The wrench (a) is kept in the storage
compartment for accessories (9). If required, take
the wrench (a) and the planing knife (b) out of the
storage compartment for accessories (9) (see
Fig. 14).
Danger! For safety reasons, the electric plane
must not be operated with the storage compart-
ment for accessories (9) inserted.
The hand-held electric plane comes with two
carbide metal reversible knives. Reversible knives
have two cutting edges and can be reversed. The
guide slot on the reversible knives ensures the
same height setting after a change. Replace a
worn, blunt or damaged knife.
Carbide metal reversible knives cannot be reshar-
pened.
Undo the three hexagonal screws (c) using the
wrench (a) supplied and push the carbide metal
reversible knife out of the planing shaft using a
piece of wood. (see Fig. 15).
Clean the knife seat before Þ tting. Install the
knives in reverse order. Check that the planing
knife conforms with both ends of the planing
shaft.
Always replace both knives to ensure a uniform
chip depth.
Danger! Before using the hand-held electric
plane make sure the knives are installed securely
and in the right place.
Check the correct setting (Fig. 10)
(8) Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
(5) Rear base plate (xed plane shoe)
1. Correct adjustment
Result: Smooth planed surfaces
2. Notches in the surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife (or
both planing knives) is not parallel to the height of
the rear base plate.
3. Furrows at the start of the planed surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is below the height of the
rear base plate.
4. Furrows at the end of the planed surface
Problem: The cutting edge on the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is above the height of the
rear base plate.
8.4 Replacing the drive belt (Fig. 17-18)
•
The belt should be replaced by a trained
expert.
•
The drive belt (b) must be replaced if it is
worn.
•
Undo the screws (a) and remove belt cover at
the sides (6).
•
Remove the worn belt drive (b) and clean the
two belt pulleys (c/d).
•
Place the new drive belt on the small belt
pulley (c) and pull the belt onto the large belt
pulley (d) whilst turning the planing shaft.
•
Ensure that the longitudinal grooves on the
drive belt are in the guide grooves on the
drive wheels.
•
Fit the belt cover (6) and secure it with the
screws (a).
