Adjusting The Planing Width (Fig. 4A); Adjusting The Mitre Angle (Fig. 4A); Adjusting The Blade Guard (Fig. 5); Restart Protection - Proxxon AH 80 Manual

Your planer may be a solidly and robustly constructed
machine, but it has been designed for primarily fine and
precision work. Therefore, always choose the planing
depth in dependence on the work piece width and the
wood to be planed!
Do not overstress the planer by processing harder wood
types with too great an infeed and corresponding width
of the work piece for a longer period of time, rather,
please note that you must appropriately reduce the
planing depth for a greater planing width as well as for a
hard wood type!
Otherwise, the result would be an unsatisfactory planing
surface, a higher load to the mechanics of the device as
well as increased wear!
Always remember:
Rather work with a smaller planing depth, but plan for
several more processing operations!
Slots, tenons or cavities cannot be shaped with the
machine! These are not intended and too dangerous
tasks for the work with this device!!
Always work on the work piece about the full length,
never stop the work midway! First complete the planing
before stopping! Always ensure that the work piece is
processed to its full length!
Adjusting the longitudinal stop

Adjusting the planing width (Fig. 4a):

1. Loosen knurled screw 1
2. Push longitudinal stop 2 to the desired position
3. Retighten knurled screw 1!

Adjusting the mitre angle (Fig. 4a):

1. Loosen knurled screw 1
2. Turn longitudinal stop 2 to the desired angle position.
Please use angle scale 3 as an aid. Please note that
the height of the limit stop may also have to be
adjusted by pushing up or down.
3. Retighten knurled screw 1!

Adjusting the blade guard (Fig. 5):

Never work with a damaged or disassembled blade
guard! Defects of safety installations must be eliminated
immediately! Serious injuries could be the result!
1. Loosen knurled screw 1
2. Lightly lift the aluminium profile of the blade guard 2
against the spring pressure and move until the
required planing width is revealed at the knife shaft.
3. Retighten knurled screw 1.

Warning!
Those parts of the knife shaft not in use must always be
covered by the guard! Risk of injury!
Dust extraction (Fig. 6):
It is recommended to always work with dust extraction.
Not only because the dust of some of the wood types to
be processed can be hazardous to your health, but
removing the dust or chips from the inside of the device
will protect the mechanics and ensure its functionality. A
vacuum cleaner can be connected to a suction connec-
tion at the rear of the device for this purpose, see Fig. 6:
1. Push the rubber connecting piece 1 onto the suction
connection 2
2. Insert vacuum cleaner nozzle 3 in rubber connecting
piece
A tip on this matter:
When using the Proxxon CW-matic vacuum cleaner,
manual switching on and off is no longer necessary. The
CW-matic is equippedwith an automatic control device
which switches on and off automatically when the pow-
er tool is switched on and off.

Planing (Fig. 7)

Restart protection

For safety reasons, the planer is equipped with a so-
called restart protection: In case of brief voltage inter-
ruptions during operation, the planer will not restart
automatically for safety reasons. But in this case, the
planer can be started normally with the On button.
Before inserting the mains plug, please check if the
information on the rating plate matches the local condi-
tions of your mains supply. If they do not match, dam-
age or hazards may result during work!
Always wear hearing protection and protective goggles
while working!
Always operate the planer from the front, i.e. from the
position as shown in Fig. 7 so that you are always in
optimal control of the work piece.
Stand in front of the device while working! Never work
with your AH 80 from the side or even from behind.
Ensure sufficient stability while you work! Important: The
feed direction of the work piece is from right to left!
1. Switch on the machine at switch 1
2. Push the planing piece 2 from right to left over the
knife shaft as shown in the figure. While doing so,
exert light pressure with the work piece on the trans-
fer table 4 and longitudinal stop .
3. For smaller work pieces, use the supplied push-rod 5.
