We recommend the use of a dust extractor with a large container such as the
Festool CLEANTEC CTM 36 E. This can be fitted with a pre-separator to collect the
chips. In the long run, this is more economical than SELFCLEAN filter bags.
Set the desired rebate depth. To do this, measure the exact distance from the
planer foot to the rebate depth stop. Place the tool on its side so that the rebate
depth stop faces upwards; this will enable you to plane a precise rebate in the wood.
Set the chip thickness to 1 mm. During the first work step, guide the planer so that
the parallel side fence fits precisely along the wood. The first work step is key to
ensuring that the rebate is precisely positioned.
From the second work step onwards, the edge of the planer foot is placed against
the rebate edge. The parallel side fence is therefore only necessary at the start of
planing and can then be removed.
Ensure that the edge of the planer foot is always guided exactly along the rebate
edge.
