m WARNING! Before cleaning~, adjustment~,
maintenance~ or repair work, disconnect the pow-
er cord from the main power supply!
• Check at regular intervals that the knife is firmly at-
tached in the knife block.
• The knives must not project more than a maximum
of 1 mm out of the knife block.
• Make sure that the anti-kick claws work correctly.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Never cut concavities, tenons or shapes.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the planing knife to run freely.

9. Installation

9.1 Stable fastening of the planing machine
(Fig. 9+10)
• Fasten the machine to a solid surface using 4
screws.
• Mounting holes Ø 10 mm (11) for this purpose can
be found on the machine base (10) on all 4 sides.
The spacing for the mounting can be found at fig. 9.
9.2 Feed (12) and discharge table (6) (Fig. 3)
• The feed (12) and discharge table (6) is pre-mount-
ed and is folded upwards when packaged.
• Fold down the feed (12) and discharge table (6).
9.3 Installing the height adjustment crank (4)
(Fig. 4)
• First remove the cover cap for the crank (3) from
height adjustment crank (4).
• Place the height adjustment crank (4) in the crank
receptacle (26).
• Then fix the crank in place using the hexagon sock-
et screw (24) and washer (23). Tighten it using the
Allen key (22) in a clockwise direction. Counterhold
at the height adjustment crank while doing this.
• Then re-affix the cover cap for the crank (3) to the
height adjustment crank (4).
9.4 Removing the transport protection and pro-
tective foil (fig 5+6)
• Remove the transport protection (29) from the ma-
chine. If necessary, crank the planer (16) upwards
using the height adjustment crank (4) in a clockwise
direction. Subsequently remove the protective foil
(30) from the planing table (15).
9.5 Fitting the suction hose (27) (Fig. 7+8)
• Affix the suction hose (27) to the planer (16) on the
back of the machine using 2 knurled screws for the
suction hood (20). The suction ports (the suction
adapter (5) in fig. 7+8 is already fitted) points in the
opposite direction to the height adjustment crank (4).
• Mount/remove the suction adapter (5), if necessary.

9.6 Stowing the push stick (fig. 11+12)
• Attach the push stick (28) to the rear of the ma-
chine, as shown in fig 11+12, on both screws of
the push stick holder (31). The push stick must be
stowed close to the machine.

10. Operation

m ATTENTION! Always make sure the device is
fully assembled before start-up!
m ATTENTION! ZDisconnect the mains plug
before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or
adjustment work.
m IMPORTANT!: The surfacing and thicknessing
plane has been specially designed for planing solid
wood.
• High alloy knives (38) are used for this purpose. The
contact surface of the workpiece must be flat for
thicknessing. If you want to work on large or heavy
workpieces, the machine must be secured in place
(e.g. using the thread in the machine base).
• The ON/OFF switch (18) is on the left-hand side of
the machine. Press the green key "I" to switch on
the machine. Press the red key "0" to switch off the
machine.
• The machine is fitted with an overload switch (17)
to protect the motor. In the event of an overload,
the machine will cut out automatically. After a short
time, the overload switch (17) can be reset again.
m ATTENTION! The machine starts when the over-
load protection button is pressed in!
• To work on long workpieces, use roller tables or
a similar supporting arrangement. Such optional
units are available from your local DIY stores. They
must be placed at the entry and exit ends of the
plane. Their height must be adjusted such that the
workpiece is horizontal when it is fed into and out
of the machine.
10.1 Adjusting to the desired height (Fig. 13)
• Adjust to the desired planer (16) height using the
height adjustment crank (4). The scale pointer (8)
indicates the height of the planer (16) above the
planing table (15) on the height scale (9).
• It is important to adjust the height of the planer (16)
from bottom to top, i.e. crank the planer (16) fur-
ther down (approx. 5 mm) than the desired height.
Then crank the planer (16) upwards to the desired
height.
• 1 rotation of the height adjustment crank corre-
sponds to about 2mm of height adjustment.
