Danger!
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 (vector sum of three directions) determined in accordance with EN 60745.
Vibration emission value ah = 3.61 m/s2
K uncertainty = 1.5 m/s2
The speciﬁed vibration value was established in accordance with a standardized testing method. It may change according to how the electric equipment is used and may exceed the speciﬁed value in exceptional circumstances.
The speciﬁed vibration value can be used to compare the equipment with other electric power tools.
The speciﬁed vibration value can be used for initial assessment of a harmful eﬀect.

Keep the noise emissions and vibrations to a minimum.

Only use appliances which are in perfect working order.
Service and clean the appliance regularly.
Adapt your working style to suit the appliance.
Do not overload the appliance.
Have the appliance serviced whenever necessary
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
Wear protective gloves.

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.
Warning!
Always pull the power plug before making adjustments to the equipment.
Caution! For safety reasons, the electric plane must not be operated with the storage compart-ment for accessories (9) inserted.

Adjusting the chip depth (Fig. 4/Item 1)

You can adjust the chip depth in steps of 0.1 mm from 0 to 3 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 da-mage. Turn the setting knob for the chip depth to position “0” for this purpose.

Chip extraction (Figure 5-8)

For optimum dust extraction you can connect the equipment to a vacuum cleaner (not supplied). To do so, insert the vacuum cleaner tube (c) into the chip ejector adapter (7). Check that all parts are properly joined together.
The vacuum cleaner tube can be connected optionally on either the left or right. This requires the chip ejector adapter (7) to be ﬁtted accordingly:

Press the lock button (a).
Pull the chip ejector adapter (7) out of the mount (10).
Insert the adapter into the mount (10) on the other side until the locking knob (a) engages with an audible click.
While inserting, make sure that the guide (b) of the adapter (7) coincides with the slot of the mount (10).

Note!
The vacuum cleaner you use for the vacuum ex-traction must be suitable for the material you are cutting.

Parallel stop (Fig. 9)

Use the parallel stop (2) when you want to plane parallel to the edge of the workpiece.

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 shop
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 (Fig. 10)

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 lock-off (3) and press the button switch(4). The safety lock-off (3) can be pressed from the left and right.
Release the button switch (4) to switch off the electric plane. The button switch (4) jumps back into its starting position.

Practical tips

Warning! Only ever bring the hand-held electric plane towards the workpiece while switched on.

Planning 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 ﬂ at on the workpiece.
Used a low chip depth for ﬁ nishing surfaces and complete several passes over the surface.

Planning steps (Fig. 9/13)

The planing of steps is possible with the help of the parallel stop (2).
Mount the parallel stop (2) 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 lever (11) (see Fig. 13).
Release the locking lever (11) and position the step depth scale (12) so that the required step depth is displayed. Pull the locking lever (11) tight again.

Width of step:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel stop (2).
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
Danger!
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.

Cleaning, maintenance and ordering of spare parts

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-ting 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 at-tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-re that no water can seep into the device. The ingress of water into an electric tool increases the risk of an electric shock.
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. 15).
Clean the knife seat before ﬁ tting. Install the kni-ves 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.
Danger! Before using the hand-held electric plane make sure the knives are installed securely and in the right place.

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 planning 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 planning knife (or both planing knives) is above the height of the rear base plate.
