Depth of step:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2 mm
and to keep planing the workpiece until the required
depth of step is reached.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
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 attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
8.3. Changing the planing knives (Fig. 12-13)
Important:
Always pull the plug out of the power
socket before doing any work on the equipment.
To change the planing knives, use the supplied
wrench (a).
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 re-
sharpened.
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. 12).
Clean the knife seat before fitting. 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.
Important:
Before using the hand-held electric
plane make sure the knives are installed securely
and in the right place.
Check the correct setting (Fig. 13)
(8) Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
(5) Rear base plate (fixed 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. 14-15)
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).
8.5 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
