Proper use
The hand-held electric plane is designed for planing, rabating and chamfering
pieces of wood. The machine is to be used only for its prescribed purpose. Any
other use is deemed to be a case of misuse. The user / operator and not the
manufacturer will be liable for any damage or injuries of any kind caused as a
result of this Please note that our equipment has not been designed for use in
commercial, trade or industrial applications. Our warranty will be voided if
the machine is used in commercial, trade or industrial businesses or for
equivalent purposes.
Technical data
Sound and vibration
Sound and vibration values were measured in accordance with EN 60745
Wear ear-muffs.
- The impact of noise can cause damage to hearing.
- Total vibration values determined in accordance with EN 60745.
- Vibration emission value ah = 4,189 m/s2
Important!
The vibration value changes according to the area of application of the
electric tool and may exceed the specified value in exceptional circumstances.
Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains supply make sure that the data on the rating plate are identical to the mains data. Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.
Adjusting the chip depth
- You can adjust the chip depth in steps of 0.1 mm from 0 to 2 mm by turning the setting knob for the chip depth (1).
- Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a clockwise direction to set a greater chip depth. Greater chip depth
- Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a counter-clockwise direction to set a lower chip depth. Lower chip depth
- After finishing work, set the chip depth so that the knives are lowered and thus protected from damage. Turn the setting knob for the chip depth to position “0” for this purpose.
Sawdust extraction
For an optimal sawdust extraction you can connect the supplied dust bag (2) to
the hand-held electric plane. To do so, slide the dust bag (2) into the the
chip ejector (7) of the hand-held electric plane. The dust bag (2) can be
connected to the chip ejector (7) optionally on either the left or right. Use
the changeover switch (9) to select between the chip ejectors (7). Parallel
stop
Use the parallel stop (13) when you want to plane parallel to the edge of the
workpiece. Fitting the parallel stop
- Fasten the mount (d) of the parallel stop to the left side of the tool using the supplied thumb screw (a).
- Now connect the mount (d) to the slide of the parallel stop (13).
- The guide rail must always be aligned in downward direction.
- Fix the distance required between the parallel stop and the edge of the workpiece.
- Fasten the parts with the carriage bolt (b) and the wing nut (c).
Operation
ON/OFF switch
- The hand-held electric plane comes with a safety switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
- To switch on the tool press the side safety lockoff (3) and press the button switch.
- Release the button switch (4) to switch off the electric plane. The button switch (4) jumps back into its starting position.
Practical tips
Important : Only ever bring the hand-held electric plane towards the
workpiece while switched on.
Planing surfaces
Now adjust the desired chip depth. Equip the front base plate and place the
hand-held electric plane onto the piece of wood you whish to plane. Then
switch on the plane. Push to electric plane over the surface with both hands
and make sure that the both the front and the rear base plate lie flat on the
workpiece. Used a low chip depth for finishing surfaces and complete several
passes over the surface.
Chamfering edges
- There is a V-shaped groove (a) in the front base plate that enables you to plane edges at an angle of 45° for a smooth finish.
- Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full speed. Place the V-shaped groove (a) on the edge of the workpiece at an angle of 45°.
- Now move the electric plane along the edge of the workpiece.
- To achieve a good quality result you should keep the feed speed and angle constant.
Planing steps
- The planing of steps is possible with the help of the parallel stop (13).
- Mount the parallel stop (13) on the left side of the tool (see section 5.3).
- To mount the depth stop fasten the step depth scale (12) to the front right side of the plane housing with the locking screw (11)
- Release the locking screw (11) and position the step depth scale (12) so that the required step depth is displayed. Tighten the locking screw (11) again.
Width of step:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel stop (13).
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.
Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its aftersales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting any cleaning work.
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.
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.
Changing the planing knives
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 resharpened. 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. 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
- Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
- Rear base plate (fixed plane shoe)
- Correct adjustment Result: Smooth planed surfaces
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Replacing the drive belt
- 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).
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which require additional maintenance.
