Declaration of Conformity

We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that these planers, identified by type and serial number 1), meet all relevant requirements of directives 2) and standards 3). Technical documents for 4) – see page 3.

Specified Conditions of Use

The planer is ideal for planing and rabetting of wood and for chamfering of the edges of wood and woodlike materials.

The user bears sole responsibility for any damage caused by inappropriate use.

Generally accepted accident prevention regulations and the enclosed safety information must be observed.

General Safety Information

For your own protection and for the protection of your electrical tool, pay attention to all parts of the text that are marked with this symbol!

WARNING – Reading the operating instructions will reduce the risk of injury.

WARNING – Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifications provided with this power tool.

Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. Pass on your electrical tool only together with these documents.

Special Safety Instructions

Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.

Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. Remove nails or other metal parts from the workpiece to be processed.

Guide the tool against the workpiece only when it is switched on. The planer’s sole must make secure contact with the workpiece. Otherwise there is a risk of rebound from jamming the tool in the workpiece.

Always get a secure grip of the machine when switching on. Always guide the machine with both hands on the handles (2) and (6). Do not operate the machine in a holder.

Danger of injury from sharp edges of the planer knives.

Pay attention to the rotating cutter. Keep in mind that the motor and thus also the cutter continue to run after switching off the tool.

Do not put your body and hands near the cutter drum.

Do not reach into the chip ejection mechanism.

Reverse/replace blunt planer knifes in due time and always in pairs: worn edges of the planer knifes increase the risk of kickback and reduce the quality of the planing work. Sharp planer knifes provide good cutting output and reduce load on the machine.

Put the planer down onto the stand (7). If the stand is defective, have it repaired.

Pull the plug out of the socket before making any adjustments, changing tools, carrying out maintenance or cleaning.

Reducing dust exposure:

Some of the dust created using this power tool may contain chemicals known to cause cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these substances include: lead (in paint containing lead), mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives used for wood treatment (chromate, wood preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or beech dust), metals, asbestos.

The risk from exposure to such substances will depend on how long you or people nearby are exposed to them.

Do not let particles enter the body.

Do the following to reduce exposure to these substances: ensure good ventilation of the workplace and wear appropriate protective equipment, such as respirators able to filter microscopically small particles.

Observe the relevant guidelines for your material, staff, application and place of application (e.g. occupational health and safety regulations, disposal).

Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid deposits in the surrounding area.

Use suitable accessories for special work. In this way, fewer particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled manner.

Use a suitable extraction unit.

Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:

Do not direct the escaping particles and the exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons or on dust deposits.
Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or blowing stirs up dust.
Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not blow, beat or brush.

Switching off: Release the trigger switch (5).

Working Directions

General notes

For coarse work set a large planing depth and push the machine forward with a suitable, reduced feed speed so that the shavings are ejected uniformly from the machine.

To obtain a smooth workpiece surface, set a low cutting depth and slowly and uniformly advance the planer.

Setting the planing depth.
Tightly hold the machine with both hands at the handles (2) and (6).
Place the front part of the planer evenly on the workpiece. At the start of the workpiece, press the front part of the planer on the workpiece. See page 2, fig. A.
Switch on first, then guide the accessory towards the workpiece.
Guide the machine forwards in a slow and uniform manner.
The stand (7) is swivelled upwards by the workpiece edge.
At the end of the workpiece, press the rear part of the planer on the workpiece. See page 2, fig. A.
