Dust Extraction
The debris opening of the planer can
be set to exhaust to either side. Turn
the flange tube in such a way that the
arrow is on the top at the side you
intend to use. The opening on the
other side will be blocked.
1. If possible, connect the electric
planer to a vacuum cleaner or a
dust extractor.
2. For short planing work you can use the dust collection bag.
3. Push the dust collection bag firmly into the planing debris
opening (3).
4. Empty the dust collection bag regularly.
Operation
1. Switch on the electric planer and wait until the machine has
reached full working speed. Only guide the planer against the
workpiece after switching on!
2. Place the front planing sole (13) on the work piece. The
planing blades must be clear of the workpiece at this point.
Make sure the front planing sole is flat on the surface of the
workpiece.
3. Guide the electric planer over the surface of the workpiece
slowly with even speed.
4. When you have moved far enough, press the rear planing
sole (18) on the workpiece.
5. Do not set the machine down before the blade shaft (17) has
stopped. The electric planer is equipped with a parking shoe
(19) so the machine can be rest down on the workpiece with-
out damaging the blade shaft and the workpiece.
