DANGER!

When using the equipment, a number of safety
precautions must be observed to avoid injuries
and damage. Please read the complete operating
instructions and safety information with due care.
Keep these operating instructions in a safe place
so that the information is available at all times. If
you give the equipment to any other person, hand
over these operating instructions and the safety
information as well. We cannot accept any liabi­lity for damage or accidents which arise due to
failure to follow these instructions and the safety
information.

1. Safety information

DANGER!
Read all the safety information and instruc­tions. Failure to adhere to the safety information

and instructions set out below may result in elec­tric shock, fi re and/or serious injury. Keep all the

safety information and instructions in a safe
place for future use.

General safety information for power tools

The term „power tool“ used in the safety regulati­ons refers to power tools operated from the mains
power supply (with a power cable) and to battery
operated power tools (without a power cable).

1) Work area safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Clutte-

red and dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

fl ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power
tools create sparks which may ignite the dust
or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can

cause you to lose control.

2) Electrical safety
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet.

Never modify the plug in any way. Do
not use any adapter plugs with earthed
(grounded) power tools. Unmodifi ed plugs

and matching outlets will reduce risk of elec­tric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radia­tors, ranges and refrigerators. There is an

increased risk of electric shock if your body is

earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the

cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging
the power tool. Keep cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.

Damaged or entangled cords increase the
risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors,

use an extension cord suitable for out­door use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor

use reduces the risk of electric shock.

f) If operating a power tools in a damp lo-

cation is unavoidable, use a residual cur­rent device (RCD) protected supply. Use

of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and

use common sense when operating a
power tool. Do not use a power tool while
you are tired or under the infl uence of
drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may
result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment.

Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safe­ty shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used
for appropriate conditions will reduce perso­nal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off -position before con-
necting to power source and/or BATTERY
pack, picking up or carrying the tool.

Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the
switch or energising power tools that have the
switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench be-

fore turning the power tool on. A wrench

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the
power tool may result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing

and balance at all times. This enables

better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair

can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection

of dust extraction and collection facilities,

- 7 -

Anl_TE_PL_18_82_Li_SPK7_USA.indb 7Anl_TE_PL_18_82_Li_SPK7_USA.indb 7 31.03.2021 13:53:0131.03.2021 13:53:01

EN

ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust

related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent

use of tools allow you to become compla­cent and ignore tool safety principles. A

careless action can cause severe injury within
a fraction of a second.

4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the cor-

rect power tool for your application. The

correct power tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch

does not turn it on and off . Any power tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power

source and/or remove the battery pack,
if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing ac­cessories, or storing power tools. Such

preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfa­miliar with the power tool or these inst­ructions to operate the power tool. Power

tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories.

Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may aff ect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many acci-

dents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Pro-

perly maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to bind and are
easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool

bits etc., in accordance with these inst­ructions and in the manner intended for
the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power

tool for operations diff erent from intended
could result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry,

clean and free from oil and grease. Slip-

pery handles and grasping surfaces do not
allow for safe handling and control of the tool

in unexpected situations.

5) Battery tool use and care
a) Recharge only with the charger specifi ed

by the manufacturer. A charger that is sui-

table for one type of battery pack may create
a risk of fi re when used with another battery
pack.

b) Use power tools only with specifi cally

designated battery packs. Use of any other

battery packs may create a risk of injury and
fi re.

c) When battery pack is not in use, keep it

away from other metal objects, like paper
clips, coins, keys, nails, screws or other
small metal objects that can make a
connection from one terminal to another.

Shorting the battery terminals together may
cause burns or a fi re.

d) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be

ejected from the battery; avoid contact.
If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with
water. If liquid contacts eyes, additionally
seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the

battery may cause irritation or burns.

e) Do not use a BATTERY pack or tool that is

damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or modi-

fi ed batteries may exhibit unpredictable beha­viour resulting in fi re, EXPLOSION or risk of
injury.

f) Do not expose a BATTERY pack or tool to

fi re or excessive temperature. Exposure to

fi re or temperature above 266°F (130°C) may
cause explosion.

g) Follow all charging instructions and do

not charge the BATTERY pack or tool out­side the temperature range specifi ed in
the instructions. Charging improperly or at

temperatures outside the specifi ed range may
damage the BATTERY and increase the risk
of fi re.

6) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qua-

lifi ed repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the

safety of the power tool is maintained.

b) Never service damaged BATTERY packs.

Service of BATTERY packs should only be
performed by the manufacturer or authorized
service providers.

with batteries which feature maximum power den­sity, durability and safety. The battery cells have
a wide range of safety devices. Each individual
cell is initially formatted and its electrical charac­teristic curves are recorded. These data are then
used exclusively to be able to assemble the best
possible battery packs.

Despite all the safety precautions, caution
must always be exercised when handling bat­teries. The following points must be obeyed
at all times to ensure safe use.
Safe use can only be guaranteed if undama­ged cells are used. Incorrect handling can
cause cell damage.

ries which have been dropped from a height
of more than one meter or which have been
exposed to violent shocks without delay, even
if the housing of the battery pack appears to
be undamaged. The battery cells inside the
battery may have suff ered serious damage.
In this respect, please also read the waste
disposal information.

10. If the battery pack suff ers overloading and
overheating, the integrated protective cut­off will switch off the equipment for safety
reasons. Caution! Do not press the ON/OFF
switch any more if the protective cut-off has
actuated. This may damage the battery.

11. Use only original battery packs. The use of

moisture, rain and high humidity. Moisture,

Information about the battery

1. The battery pack supplied with your cordless
tool is not charged. The battery pack has to
be charged before you use the tool for the fi rst
time.

2. For optimum battery performance avoid low
discharge cycles. Charge the battery pack
frequently.

rain and high humidity can cause dangerous
cell damage. Never charge or work with bat­teries which have been exposed to moisture,
rain or high humidity – replace them immedia­tely.

13. If your equipment is fi tted with a detachable
battery, remove the battery for safety reasons
after you have fi nished your work

3. Store the battery pack in a cool place, ideally
at 59°F (15°C) and charged to at least 40%.

4. Lithium-ion batteries are subject to a natural
ageing process. The battery pack must be
replaced at the latest when its capacity falls to
just 80% of its capacity when new. Weakened
cells in an aged battery pack are no longer
capable of meeting the high power require­ments and therefore pose a safety risk.

5. Do not throw battery packs into an open fi re.
There is a risk of explosion!

6. Do not ignite the battery pack or expose it to
fi re.

7. Do not exhaustively discharge batteries.
Exhaustive discharge will damage the bat­tery cells. The most common cause of deep
discharge is lengthy storage or non-use of
partly discharged batteries. Stop working as
soon as the performance of the battery falls
noticeably or the electronic protection system
triggers. Place the battery pack in storage
only after it has been fully charged.

8. Protect batteries and the tool from over-
loads. Overloads will quickly result in over­heating and cell damage inside the battery
housing without this overheating actually
being apparent externally.

9. Avoid damage and shocks. Replace batte-

Information on chargers and the charging
process

1. Please check the data marked on the rating
plate of the battery charger. Be sure to con­nect the battery charger to a power supply
with the voltage marked on the rating plate.
Never connect it to a diff erent mains voltage.

2. Protect the battery charger and its cable from
damage and sharp edges. Have damaged
cables repaired without delay by a qualifi ed
electrician.

3. Keep the battery charger, batteries and the
cordless tool out of children‘s reach.

4. Do not use damaged battery chargers.

5. Do not use the supplied battery charger to
charge other cordless tools.

6. In heavy use the battery pack will become
warm. Allow the battery pack to cool to room
temperature before commencing with the
charging.

7. Do not over-charge batteries. Do not ex-
ceed the maximum charging times. These
charging times apply only to discharged
batteries. Frequent insertion of a charged
or partly charged battery pack will result in
over-charging and cell damage. Do not leave
batteries in the charger for days on end.

8. Never use or charge batteries if you sus-

pect that the last time they were charged
was more than 12 months previously. The-

re is a high probability that the battery pack
has already suff ered dangerous damage
(exhaustive discharge).

9. Charging batteries at a temperature below
50°F (10°C) will cause chemical damage to
the cell and may cause a fi re.

10. Do not use batteries which have heated du­ring the charging process, as the battery cells
may have suff ered dangerous damage.

11. Do not use batteries which have suff ered
curvature or deformation during the charging
process or which show other non-typical sym­ptoms (gassing, hissing, cracking,…)

12. Never fully discharge the battery pack (re­commended depth of discharge max. 80%)
A complete discharge of the battery pack will
lead to premature ageing of the battery cells.

13. Never charge the batteries unsupervised.

Protection from environmental infl uences

1. Wear suitable work clothes. Wear safety gog­gles.

2. Protect your cordless tool and the battery
charger from moisture and rain. Moisture
and rain can cause dangerous cell damage.

3. Do not use the cordless tool or the battery
charger near vapors and infl ammable liquids.

4. Use the battery charger and cordless tools
only in dry conditions and an ambient tempe­rature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to 40°C).

5. Do not keep the battery charger in places
where the temperature is liable to reach over
104°F (40°C). In particular, do not leave the
battery charger in a car that is parked in the
sunshine.

6. Protect batteries from overheating. Over-
loads, over-charging and exposure to direct
sunlight will result in overheating and cell
damage. Never charge or work with batteries
which have been overheated – replace them
immediately if possible.

7. Storage of batteries, battery chargers and
cordless tools. Store the charger and your
cordless tool only in dry places with an am­bient temperature of 50°F to 104°F (10°C to
40°C). Store the lithium-ion rechargeable bat­tery in a cool and dry place at 50°F to 68°F
(10°C to 20°C). Protect them from humidity
and direct sunlight! Place only fully charged
batteries in storage (charged at least 40%).

8. Prevent the lithium-ion battery pack from free­zing. Battery packs which were stored below

32°F (0°C) for more than 60 minutes must be
disposed of.

9. When handling batteries beware of electro­static charge: Electrostatic discharges cause
damage of the electronic protection system
and the battery cells. Avoid electrostatic char­ging and never touch the battery poles.

Battery Caution + Disposal

Special safety information

Secure the workpiece whenever possible: Use
clamps or a vise to hold the workpiece securely.
This is far safer than holding it in your hand and
also means that you have both hands free to ope­rate the electric tool.

Safety information for planes

Wait for the cutter to stop before setting

•

the tool down. An exposed rotating cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible
loss of control and serious injury.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping

•

surfaces, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to

•

secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform. Holding the workpiece by

your hand or against the body leaves it unsta­ble and may lead to loss of control.
To avoid damage to the electric plane, make

•

sure there are no foreign objects attached to
the workpiece.
Hold the tool’s handle in both hands; place

•

the front base plate of the plane on the work­piece. The base plates must lie flat on the
workpiece while planing is in progress.
Allow the tool to reach its full speed before

•

you begin planing.
Set the chip depth to 0 mm when you have

•

finished your work.
The planing knives should be replaced by a

•

new pair of planing knives as soon as they
become worn.
Some types of planing knife have two blades.

•

If one of the blades becomes blunt, the pla­ning knife can be reversed.
Blunt planing knives cannot be resharpened.

•

Always replace both knives.

•

Only the original knife shaft from the manu-

•

facturer is allowed to be used for this electric
plane.

To work well and safely you must use only

•

clean and sharp planing knives.

5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 4)

Use the parallel stop (11) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.

Installing the parallel stop

Fasten the mount (13) of the parallel stop

•

to the left side of the tool using the supplied
thumb screw (14).
Now connect the mount (13) to the slide of

•

the parallel stop (11).
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 lock bolt (15) and

•

the wing nut (16).

6. Operation

6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 5)

The plane comes with a safety switch which

•

is designed to prevent accidents.
To switch on the plane, press the side safety

•

lock-off (3) and press the ON/OFF switch (4).
To switch off the plane, release the ON/OFF

•

switch (4). The ON/OFF switch (4) will return
to its starting position.

6.2 Practical tips

Warning! Only ever move the plane against the
workpiece while the plane is switched on.

6.2.1 Planing surfaces

Set the desired chip depth. Place the plane by its
front base plate onto the piece of wood you want
to machine and switch on the plane. Holding the
plane with both hands, push it over the surface
making sure that the front and the rear base plate
both lie fully on the workpiece. For the fi nish-
machining of surfaces use a small chip depth and

make several passes over the surface.

6.2.2 Chamfering edges (Fig. 6-7)

There is a V-shaped groove (17) 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 for it to reach full

•

speed. Place the V-shaped groove (17) of the
plane against the edge of the workpiece at an
angle of 45°.
Now move the plane along the edge of the

•

workpiece.
To achieve high-quality results you should

•

keep the feed speed and angle constant.

6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 4/8)

The planing of steps is possible with the help

•

of the parallel stop (11).
Mount the parallel stop (11) on the left side of

•

the tool (see section 5.3).
To mount the depth stop, use the locking

•

screw (9) to fasten the step depth scale (10)
to the front right side of the plane housing
(see Fig. 8).
Release the locking screw (9) and position

•

the step depth scale (10) so that the required
step depth is displayed. Retighten the locking
screw (9).

Width of step:

You can set the width of the step with the parallel
stop (11).

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.

6.3 Charging the Li battery pack

The corresponding instructions can be found in
the original operating instructions for your char­ger.

7. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering spare parts

HAZARD!

Always take the battery out of the equipment be­fore starting any cleaning work.

7.1 Cleaning

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 down with compressed air at
low pressure.
We recommend cleaning the equipment im-

•

mediately each time after use.
Clean the equipment regularly with a damp

•

cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these may be ag­gressive to the plastic parts in the equipment.
Ensure that no water can get into the interior
of the equipment. The ingress of water into
an electric power tool increases the risk of an
electric shock.

7.2 Maintenance

There are no other parts inside the equipment
which require maintenance.

7.3 Changing the planing knife (Fig. 9)

Danger! Remove the battery before doing any

work on the tool!

The plane is fi tted with two reversible carbide
knives. Reversible knives have two cutting edges
and can be reversed. The guide slot on the rever­sible knives ensures the same height setting after
a change. Worn, blunt or damaged knives must
be replaced.

Reversible carbide knives cannot be re-sharpe­ned.
Undo the three hexagonal screws (18) with the
supplied wrench (12) and use a piece of wood to
push the reversible carbide blade sideways out of
the planing shaft (see Fig. 9).

Clean the knife seat before fi tting. Install the kni-
ves in reverse order. Check that the planing knife
coincides with both ends of the planing shaft.
Always replace both knives to ensure a uniform
chip depth.
Danger! Before you switch on the plane make
sure the knives are installed securely and in the
right place.

Check the correct setting (Fig. 10)

(8) Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
(5) Rear base plate (fi xed plane shoe)

1. Correct setting

Result: Smooth planed surface

2. Notches in the surface

Problem: The cutting edge of the planing knife (or
both planing knives) is not parallel to the height of
the rear base plate.

3. Furrows at the start of the planed surface

Problem: The cutting edge of the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is below the height of the
rear base plate.

4. Furrows at the end of the planed surface

Problem: The cutting edge of the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is above the height of the
rear base plate.

7.4 Replacing the drive belt (Fig. 11-12)

The belt should be replaced by a trained ex-

•

pert.
The drive belt (21) must be replaced if it is

•

worn.
Undo the screws (19) and remove the side

•

belt cover (6).
Remove the worn drive belt (21) and clean

•

the two belt pulleys (20/22).
Place the new drive belt on the small belt

•

pulley (22) and pull the belt onto the large belt
pulley (20) while turning the planing shaft.
Ensure that the longitudinal grooves on the

•

drive belt are in the guide grooves on the
drive wheels.
Mount the belt cover (6) and secure it with the

•

screws (19).
