have finished work to avoid an incorrect setting when 

beginning your next planing task.

REBATING (

image

C)

Attach the parallel guide

 (15)

 and fasten it using 

the locking knob

 (9)

.

ADJUSTING THE REBATING DEPTH

Set the rebating depth guide 

(3)

 to the desired 

depth and lock it using the locking lever 

(4)

.

ADJUSTING THE REBATING WIDTH

The rebating width is adjusted using the parallel 

guide. Loosen the wing nut 

(15a)

, set the parallel 

guide to the desired position and then tighten the 

wing nut again.

CHAMFERING (image E)

The  V-grooves  on  the  bottom  of  the  soleplate 

makes  it  possible  to  chamfer  the  edges  of  the 

workpiece.

WORK PROCEDURE

In order to achieve a smooth, even surface on the 

workpiece it is best to begin with a coarse/deeper cut 

and then reduce the cutting depth and finish with a 

finer cut. Hold the planer firmly and feed it slowly and 

steadily  over  the  workpiece.  Switch  off  and  unplug 

the planer as soon as you have finished work.

SMALL WORKPIECES

Make sure that small workpieces are firmly clamped 

or held in a vice.

CHANGING BLADES

Warning:

 Always unplug the mains lead from the 

wall socket before any servicing or maintenance.

ƒ

When the planer blades have been used for a while 

they might be too blunt to produce a clean cut and 

smooth  finish.  Continued  use  of  blunt  or  worn 

blades will result in a poor surface finish and could 

overload the motor. The blades should therefore 

be checked regularly and turned over or replaced 

if necessary.

ƒ

The tungsten carbide tipped blades are dou-

ble-edged and can be turned over and the other 

edge used once one of the edges is worn.

ƒ

The tool for changing or adjusting the blades is kept 

in the blade tool holder 

(12)

.

ƒ

The cutting depth of the blade seldom needs to be 

adjusted. Do not undo the set screws 

(20)

 until you 

are certain that the cutting depth needs adjusting.

DISASSEMBLING AND ASSEMBLING THE BLADE 

(image F)

1. 

Undo  the  three  clamping  screws 

(18)

, hold 

down the springloaded guard 

(23)

 and slide 

the blade 

(16)

 out of the set plate 

(19)

. You can 

also choose to slide the entire blade holder out 

of the blade drum 

(21)

 and reverse/change the 

blade when the blade holder is loose.

NOTE:

  Do not move the set screws 

(20)

 and 

pay attention to how the parts are assembled.

2.  If the blade holder is removed the parts can 

easily disassemble. Make sure that all the parts 

are in the right place when the blade holder is 

put back.

TURNING THE BLADES OVER/FITTING THE 

BLADES

1. 

Turn the blade over and fit it into the blade holder.

2. 

Make  sure  that  the  slot  in  the  blade  lines  up 

with the guides on the drum plate. See the fig

-

ure above. There are also two protrusions on 

the drum plate that must line up with two holes 

in the set plate. See the figure above.

3.  Place the assembled blade holder into the blade 

drum. Make sure that the blade holder is in the 

centre of the blade drum.

4.  Tighten the three clamping screws. Turn the 

blade drum by hand to make sure that it can ro

-

tate freely before switching the planer on.

NOTE:

  If you adjust the cutting depth, the edge 

of the blade must not protrude more than 1.1 mm 

from the drum. It is important that both blades have 

the same setting. After changing or adjusting the 

blades, make sure that all the screws are tight.

CHIP OUTLET (14)

Select desired chip outlet side (left or right) with 

chip ejector selector button 

(7)

. An extraction 

hose (Ø 35 mm), can be attached on either side of 

the chip ejector.

If desired, attach the dust bag by sliding the noz-

zle onto the appropriate chip extraction port. For 

efficient  operation,  empty  the  dust  bag  when  it 

is no more than half full, allowing better airflow 

through the bag.

You can also connect your tool to a suitable dust ex-

traction system through the extraction port. Hose 

adaptors (not included) may be needed depending 

on the side of your dust hose.

WARNING:

 Shavings may jam in the dust ex-

traction port when cutting damp wood. Clean 

out  the  shavings  with  a  stick,  but  only  when  the 

cutter has stopped running and the tool has been 

unplugged from the power source.

CHANGING THE DRIVE BELT (image G)

WARNING:

 Always unplug the mains lead from the 

wall socket before any servicing or maintenance.

1. 

Undo the two screws holding the drive belt cov

-

er and remove it. Remove the drive belt. Clean 

both belt pulleys.

2.  Place the new drive belt onto the small pulley.

3. 

Work  the  other  end  of  the  drive  belt  up  over 

the large pulley while rotating the pulley by 

hand.

4. 

Make  sure  that  the  belt  sits  properly  in  the 

grooves on the pulley wheels. 

5. 

Refit the belt cover.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspection and cleaning reduces the neces

-

sity for maintenance operations and will keep your 

tool in good working condition. The motor must be 

correctly ventilated during tool operation. For this 

reason avoid blocking the air inlets.
