ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Connect the mains lead to a domestic, 230 volt (50Hz) electrical supply through a fused good quality 13 amp BS 1363 plug, or a suitable fused isolator switch.
THIS PRODUCT IS DOUBLE INSULATED
IMPORTANT: The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Blue - Neutral
Brown - Live
As the colours of the conductor insulation of this appliance may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying terminals in your plug, you should proceed to connect as follows:
The BROWN conductor to the terminal marked “L” or coloured RED.
The BLUE conductor to the terminal marked “N” or coloured BLACK.
If this appliance is fitted with a plug which is moulded on to the electric cable (i.e. non­rewireable) please note:
1. The plug must be thrown away if it is cut
from the electric cable. There is a danger of electric shock if it is subsequently inserted into a socket outlet.
2. Never use the plug without the fuse
cover fitted.
3. Should you wish to replace a
detachable fuse carrier, ensure that the correct replacement is used (as indicated by marking or colour code).
FUSE RATING
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.
CABLE EXTENSION
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The machine does not require any special maintenance except for ensuring it is kept perfectly clean, including the motors ventilation slots.
It may be necessary however to replace the cutter blades, drive belt and motor carbon brushes from time to time. These actions are described below.
Replacing the cutters (fig. 5)
1. Place the machine on a table with the planing base towards you.
2. Rotate the cylinder until the first cutter is visible.
3. Turn the three securing screws (C, Fig.7) fully, in the direction shown in Fig.5.
This will loosen the cutter block assembly from the cylinder.
4. Hold down the safety device with your thumb as shown in Fig. 6, and slide the cutter assembly in the direction shown to remove it from the cylinder.
5. Tap the cutter block assembly gently in order to free the cutter blade, which will either slide out, or the clamping plate - ‘B’, Fig.7 will become detached from the clamping block ‘A’ Fig.7, allowing the blade to be removed.
Note: The cutter has two cutting edges. When both cutting edges are worn, the cutter must be replaced.
6. Turn the cutter so that the new cutting edge is facing upwards or take a new cutter and place it between the block - A and the clamping plate - B, ensuring the locating lugs of the clamping plate engage with the clamping block correctly.
7. Slide the cutter block assembly back into the cylinder
8. Secure the cutter block by screwing the screws C, Fig.7 OUT until each one just touches the side of the recess in the cylinder, then tighten the two outer screws first followed by the centre screw.
Fig.5
Fig.6
Fig.7
Adjusting a cutter
With the planing depth set to zero, place a straight edge along the bottom face of the machine. The cutter blade should just touch the straight edge.
If adjustment is necessary, screw the hex. socket head screws - D, Fig 7, (and also shown in Fig. 5), in or out as required, until the cutter blade just touches the straight edge, along its entire length. i.e. the blade must be parallel across the base of the machine.
10
Replacing the Drive Belt
Should the cutter bind in the workpiece, it is probable that the drive belt needs changing. Should this be the case, please proceed as follows:
Remove the three securing screws, arrowed in Fig. 8 and pull off the cover.
Pull off the old belt by turning the larger pulley whilst pulling the belt towards you in the
middle of its run, so that it gradually eases of the pulleys - take care not to trap your fingers between the belt and pulley.
Replace the new belt in a similar manner, turning the large pulley whilst pushing the
belt over the ridges in the pulleys.
Fig.8
Ensure the belt is fully engaged on both pulleys - see Fig. 9
Finally, replace the cover.
Replacing the Carbon Brushes
Unscrew and remove the side cover - three securing screws.
VERY carefully prise out the carbon brush
holders as indicated in Fig. 10. DO NOT USE FORCE. This can be a little tricky, but once the holder is part way out, use a small screwdriver to prise the holder away from the brush end.
Disassemble the holder, taking care to
retain the plastic end cap.
Replace the carbon brush and slide the
spade connection on to the end of the brush and hold in place with the plastic end cap,
Replace the holder carefully back into place, again DO NOT USE FORCE to
avoid damaging the brush.

HAND-ARM VIBRATION
Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. Vibration from about 2 to 1500 herz is potentially damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These are painful conditions and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to it……in effect, a daily vibration dose.
Tools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration level generated under normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a grinder used at 45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on soft wood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value ‘a’, expressed in metres per second per second, which represents the average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary, and a second figure ‘K’, which represents the uncertainty factor, i.e. a value in excess of ‘a’, to which the tool could vibrate under normal conditions. These values appear in the declaration on page 7.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured reading in a single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing in one of the axes, and this should also be taken into account when making a risk assessment.
a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged periods. A tool with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours (cumulative) per day, whereas a tool with a value of 11.2 m/s2 may be used for ½ hour per day only.
The graph below shows the vibration value against the maximum time the respective tool may be used, per day.
The uncertainty factor should also be taken into account when assessing a risk. The two figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may be added together and the resultant value used to assess the risk.
It should be noted that if a tool is used under abnormal, or unusual conditions, then the vibration level could possibly increase significantly. Users must always take this into account and make their own risk assessment, using the graph as a reference.
Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for a few seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few minutes per day. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of other hand held power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when the total daily dose rate is determined.
