WARNING
Risk of injury from workpiece parts

(4mm)
−
When processing workpieces that are thinner than 10 mm,
only set a small depth of cut (max. 10% of the workpiece
thickness).
−
The finished planed workpiece must not be thinner than 6 mm.
When using appropriate auxiliary equipment and observing the safety distances
to the surroundings, there are no limits to the workpiece length.
Length less than 250 mm
only work with special equipment (e.g. push stick).

only work with table extensions or with a second person.
Width
max. 260 mm
Thickness
min. 10 mm (without suitable auxiliary material)
