5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 9/Item 13)
Use the parallel stop (13) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 9)
n Fasten the mount (d) of the parallel stop to the
left side of the tool using the supplied thumb
screw (a).
n Now connect the mount (d) to the slide of the
parallel stop (13).
n The guide rail must always be aligned in
downward direction.
n Fix the distance required between the parallel
stop and the edge of the workpiece.
n Fasten the parts with the carriage bolt (b) and
the wing nut (c).
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 10)
n The hand-held electric plane comes with a safety
switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
n To switch on the tool press the side safety lock-
off (3) and press the button switch. The safety
lock-off (3) can be pressed from the left and
right.
n 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. 11-12)
n There are three V-shaped grooves (a) in the front
base plate that enable you to plane edges at an
angle of 45° for a smooth finish. You can choose
from three different sizes of V-shaped grooves
(a).
n Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full
speed. Place the required V-shaped groove (a)
on the edge of the workpiece at an angle of 45°.
n Now move the electric plane along the edge of
the workpiece.
n To achieve a good quality result you should keep
the feed speed and angle constant.
6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 9/13)
n The planing of steps is possible with the help of
the parallel stop (13).
n Mount the parallel stop (13) on the left side of the
tool (see section 5.3).
n 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. 13).
n 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).
Depth of step:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2 mm
and to keep planing the workpiece until the required
depth of step is reached.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its aftersales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
8.1 Cleaning
n Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor
housing free of dirt and dust as far as possible.
Wipe the equipment with a clean cloth or blow it
with compressed air at low pressure.
n We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished using it.
n Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents
or solvents; these could attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
