nOTE: If using a dust extractor, lower the upper table all the way and attach the adapter to the
dust chute, then raise the upper table until is in contact with the adapter.
Adjustment

WARNING: Prior to adjustment always unplug the tool.
Adjusting the Fence (Fig. I1–I3)
adjusting the Right angle (Fig. I1)
The fence has an adjustable stop for easy right angle adjustment.
1. Loosen the angle clamp handle .
40
2. Press the fence straight up to ensure it is fully vertical and tighten the angle clamp handle.
3. Place a set square 41 on the table and up against the fence
4. If adjustment is required, proceed as follows:
a. Loosen the nut 42 a few turns and turn the vertical position adjustment stop screw
in or out until the fence is at 90° to the table as measured with the square.
adjusting the chamfering angle (Fig. I2)
1. Loosen the angle clamp handle 40 .
2. Move the fence 8 along its longitudinal axle to achieve the required angle.
3. Make sure that the lower edge of the fence touches the upper table top
4. Tighten the angle clamp handle.
adjusting the Planing Width (Fig. I3)
1. Loosen the fence clamp handle .

3. Tighten the fence clamp handle.
Adjusting the Guard (Fig. J)
The guard can be adjusted to any fixed position above the table to provide
optimum screening.

WARNING: Always make sure to adjust the guard to the planing width and the height of
the workpiece.
To adjust the Width
1. Loosen the lock knob 44 .
2. Move the guard to the required width.
13
3. Tighten the adjustment knob.
To adjust the Height
1. Loosen the clamp handle .

2. Move the guard bracket to the required height.
45
3. Tighten the clamp handle.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut (Fig. K, L1–L3)
Planing Mode (Fig. k)
1. Loosen the locking ring 46 .
2. Take hold of the depth adjustment knob
scale 47 .
- Turn clockwise to decrease the cutting depth.
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the cutting depth.
3. Tighten the locking ring.
Thicknessing Mode (Fig. L1–L3)
1. Place the elevating handle 2 on to the elevating shaft end
2. Rotate the handle (clockwise) until it makes contact with the shaft nut.
3. Turn the elevating handle counterclockwise until it matches the hole and flat side of
the shaft.
4. Using a 2.5 mm hex key, tighten the dowel of the elevating handle (Fig. L2).
- Turn clockwise to decrease the cutting depth.
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the cutting depth.
5. Read the finished thickness of your workpiece on the depth adjustment scale
OPERATION
Instructions for Use

WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without any restrictions.
Prior to Operation
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose knots. Do not plane wood that
is severely knotted or warped.
Switching On and Off (Fig. M)

No-volt Release Function
Should the power be shut off for some reason, the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
Motor Overload Protection Device
In case of motor overload, the power supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the
motor to cool for 2 minutes and then press the green start button.
1. To switch the machine on, press the green start button
2. To switch the machine off, press the red stop button

WARNING: Always switch off the machine when work is finished and before unplugging.
Planing (Fig. N1, N2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as described above.
2. Adjust the fence as required.
3. Adjust the guard to provide optimum screening.
43
4. Set the depth of cut.
5. Switch on the machine.
- Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it firmly pressed against
the fence.
- Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain.
- Remember to use the push stick when close to the cutterhead.
Thicknessing (Fig. A2, O1, O2)
1. Mount the guard/chip collector as described above.
2. Lower the guard 13 .
3. Set the depth of cut.
4. Switch on the machine.
- Best results are achieved when the workpiece has at least one flat surface.
- For optimal results, plane both sides of the workpiece to reach the desired thickness.
Follow the depth of cut and width guidelines shown in the table below.

5. Slowly feed the workpiece into the machine.
6. Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain.
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact the cutters. To
avoid snipe:
1. Keep the workpiece level throughout the planing operation.
2. Feed the workpiece flat against the table.
Warping (Fig. P1–P4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce the desired thickness.
Bowed Workpieces (Fig. P1, P2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece (Fig. P1). The bowed
shape, however, will return after planing (Fig.P2).
• To remove the bow, use a jointer.
Cupped Workpieces (Fig. P3, P4)
1. Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (Fig. P3).
2. Plane the pieces separately to eliminate waste.
3. Alternatively, plane the top flat
flat 56 (Fig. P4).
Dust Extraction (Fig. A1)
The machine is provided with a 100 mm dust extraction port on the guard/chip collector
Provided with a suitable dust extraction device, 90% of the produced shaving can be caught if
the air flow is at least 20 m/s.
Connect a suitable dust extraction device during all operations.
Whenever possible, connect a dust extraction device designed in accordance with the relevant
regulations regarding dust emission.
Transporting (Fig. Q1, Q2)
The castor wheels 30 provide an easy transport of the machine. Securely holding the handle
with both hands, transport the machine as shown in Figure Q2.
