5. 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.
5.1 Adjusting the chip depth (Fig. 4/Item 1)
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.
5.2 Sawdust extraction (Fig. 5-6)
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).
5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 7/Item 13)
Use the parallel stop (13) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 7)
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).

6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 8)
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.
Release the button switch (4) to switch off the
electric plane. The button switch (4) jumps back
into its starting position.
6.2 Practical tips
Important: Only ever bring the hand-held electric
plane towards the workpiece while switched on.
6.2.1 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.
6.2.2 Chamfering edges (Fig. 9-10)
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.
6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 7/11)
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) (see Fig. 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).
