SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

1. WORK AREA

a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable 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. Unmodified
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. Use a Residual Circuit Breaker on all 230V Power tools. This can help
minimise the risk of an electrical shock if an earth fault or short circuits occurs.

g. If using a power cable extension ensure that the cable is fully unwound
and that its length is less than 30m. Lengths over 30 m will effect the tools

performance as a result of voltage drop.

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

influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating
power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position before
plugging in. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in
power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench before 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

SFX-ERB905D-M-050608.indd 4 2005-6-9 9:30:56

3mm PLANER

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g. If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of these devices can reduce dust-related hazards.

4. POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a. Do not force the power tool. Use the correct 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 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. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly 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 different from intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

5. SERVICE

a. Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

6. HEALTH ADVICE

WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be

produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working
with, this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:

- Work in a well-ventilated area.

- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY POINTS FOR YOUR PLANER

1.If the supply cord is damaged have it replaced by a qualified person.

2.Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as indicated on the rating plate.

3.Your tool is double insulated for additional protection against a possible electrical

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH

Your switch is locked off to prevent accidental
starting. Depress lock off button (2) then on/off
switch (1) and release lock off button (2). Your
switch is now on. To switch off just release the on/off
switch (See Fig 1).

2. HAND GRIP AREAS

Always hold your planer firmly with both hands
when operating (See Fig 2).

3. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Smaller cuts of 0-2mm are best for most surface
planing or rebating. Only use 2-3mm cutting depth
for fast removal and rough planing. Rotate the
front handle to select the required cutting depth
on the scale. The front baseplate will move up and
down accordingly (See Fig 3).

4. DUST AND WOOD SHAVING EXTRACTION
OUTLET

The exhaust outlet direction can be adjusted to
the right or left side of your planer depending on
your working requirements. Rotate one end of
the exhaust outlet (5) until it stops (See Fig 4). The
arrow head on the exhaust outlet indicates the
exhaust outlet direction. Always direct the exhaust
materials away from any potential safety hazard.
Note: Due to the size and material of some wood
shavings e.g. wet or hardwood it is possible for
the exhaust outlet to become blocked. Remove
the plug from the mains power supply, then using
a wooden stick clear the blocked exhaust outlet.

5. BASEPLATE STAND

Whenever you place your planer onto a surface
the rear of the baseplate will sit on this stand (6)
to protect the cutting blades from any damage
and the blades from damaging the surface. When
planing, the stand will be pushed away by the
end of the wood. Always check the stand is free to
move on the baseplate (See Fig 5).

6. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING

Your blades have two cutting sides and are
reversible.To reverse the blades or fit new blades
the operation is the same. Remove the plug from
the mains socket. Using the spanner provided

loosen the 3 bolts approximately 1/2 turn clockwise.
Holding the blade clamp (7) in position, using
a piece of wood slides the blade (8) out of the
blade clamp (7) and depress the guard (9) to
remove the blade from the blade clamp. Note:
there is no need to remove the blade clamp (7)
as this can change the factory settings for cutting
blade height control. Do not adjust the height
adjusting screws (10). Use a new blade or reverse
the existing blade, then depress the guard and
slide the blade back into the blade clamp in the
connecting orientation. Check the blade is equal in
the clamp and the blade edge is level with the
baseplate side. Tighten all bolts equally. Before
connecting the power cord, rotate by hand to
check the drum is free to rotate (See Fig 6).

Warning: Remove power cord from
mains before making adjustments or

changing blades.

7. FITTING A DRIVE BELT

Should the drive belt fail due to a sudden load
applied when cutting, remove the screws and belt
cover (11). Cut the belt and remove it. Clean any
debris from the belt pulleys and surrounding area.
Fit the new belt (Not supplied with your tool) over
the small pulley (12) and push the belt onto the
large pulley (13) and rotate the large pulley at the
same time (See Fig 7).

Warning: The cutting blades will be
turning and may cause injury.
Warning: Remove power cord from
mains before making adjustments or

changing blades.

8. FITTING A DUST BAG

This accessory can be fitted by sliding the dust
bag inlet over the planer exhaust pipe (5) as far as
possible. The dust bag will reduce the efficiency of
the exhaust system and the bag must be emptied
frequently to maintain the efficiency. To empty,
open the zip on the rear of the dust bag.

9.EXTERNAL DUST EXTRACTION

The exhaust outlet is best connected to a suitable
external dust extraction machine e.g. vacuum
cleaner.

WORKING HINTS FOR YOUR
PLANER

1. STANDARD SURFACE PLANING

Set the desired cutting depth. Position the front
part of the baseplate flat onto the work surface.
Push your planer
forward and it will start cutting, always maintain
all of the baseplate flat on the work surface to
prevent the cutting blade jumping. Move the
plane evenly over the work surface. For most
applications 0-3mm max cutting depth will produce
a good surface finish. It is best to use small depths
of cut and repeat the planing process.

2. EDGE CHAMFERING

Using the V-groove in the baseplate (14) you can
make a chamfer on the workpiece edge (See Fig
A). Guide the planer along the edge and maintain
a constant angle and force to produce a good
finish. You can control the angle of the chamfer
with your hands. Make a test chamfer on a scrap
piece of wood. Ensure your workpiece is clamped
and supported near the edge.

3. REBATING

You can use the Rebate Depth Gauge (16) and
the Rebate Parallel Guide (17) accessories
(supplied with your tool). Fit these accessories
to your planer. Set the required rebate depth
using the scale and the mark on the planer housing
next to the scale (See Fig B). Set the required
rebate width using the scale on the guide to
adjust the distance from the blade edge to the
rebate guide plate, 82mm max (See Fig C). Set
the cutting depth and start planing until you reach
your rebate depth 24mm max (See Fig D).It is best
to use small depths of cot and repeat until the
rebate depth is achieved
