low side at the bottom.
• Chip take-o󰀨 max. 0.8 mm. If the workpiece gets
stuck, lift the planer approx. 1 mm (1/2 crank turn).
Plane the workpiece along the grain if possible.
• The surface quality is better if less material is re-
moved in multiple passes.
• Switch the machine o󰀨 if work is not going to contin-
ue immediately.
• Workpieces that are shorter than 152 mm must not
be processed.
• Plane a maximum of 2 workpieces at a time. Feed at
both outer edges.
• Use the push stick for small workpieces.
• To remove the workpiece from the machine, stand
sideways next to the discharge table. Support long
workpieces with roller blocks.
• Switch o󰀨 the machine after work is complete. To
do this, press the red “0” button on the on/o󰀨 switch
(18). Then, disconnect the machine from the mains.

(25) to a chip extraction unit (not in scope of deliv-
ery) using the suction adapter (5), if necessary.

wood chippings and dust. The ow speed at the
suction ports must be at least 20 m/s.

new planing blade (38) can be inserted. If the plan-
ing blade must be turned over, mark the already
used edge with a waterproof marker.
• Fit the planing blade (38) to the planing shaft in re-
verse order. Make sure that the planing blade hold-
ing pins (41) prevent the planing blades (38) from
sliding. Furthermore, ensure that the 2 planing
blade protection springs (39) are in the correct posi-
