Adjusting the guard (fig. J)
The guard can be adjusted to any fixed position above the table to provide
optimum screening.
Always make sure to adjust the guard to the planing width and
the height of the workpiece.
To adjust the width:
• Loosen the lock knob (44).
• Move the guard (13) to the required width.
• Tighten the adjustment knob.
To adjust the height:
• Loosen the clamp handle (12).
• Move the guard bracket (45) to the required height.
• Tighten the clamp handle.
Adjusting the depth of cut (fig. K, L1 & L2)
Planing mode (fig. K)
• Loosen the locking ring (46).
• Take hold of the depth adjustment knob (10) and adjust the depth of
cut using the scale (47).
- Turn clockwise to decrease the cutting depth.
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the cutting depth.
• Tighten the locking ring.
Thicknessing mode (fig. L1 & L2)
• Place the elevating handle (2) onto the elevating shaft end (48).
Rotate the handle until shaft pin (49) engages in the slot (50) (fig. L1).
• Take hold of the elevating handle (3) and adjust the depth of cut.
- Turn clockwise to decrease the cutting depth.
- Turn counterclockwise to increase the cutting depth.
• Read the finished thickness of your workpiece on the depth adjustment
scale (5) (fig. L2).
Instructions for use
• Always observe the safety instructions and applicable regulations.
• Make sure there is sufficient space for the workpiece at the
outfeed side.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before feeding the
workpiece. The workpiece should not be in contact with the
cutterhead when switching on.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the „woodworking machines
regulations 1974" and any subsequent amendments.
Prior to operation:
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose knots.
Do not plane wood that is severely knotted or warped.
Switching on and off (fig. M)
The on/off switch offers multiple advantages:
- no-volt release function: should the power be shut off for some reason,
the switch has to be deliberately reactivated.
- motor overload protection device: in case of motor overload, the power
supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, let the motor to cool
for 2 minutes and then press the green start button.
- extra safety: the hinged safety enclosure plate (51) can be locked by
passing a padlock through the hasp (52). The plate also serves as an
„easy to locate" emergency stop button as pressure on the front of the
plate will depress the stop button.
• To switch the machine on, press the green start button (53).
• To switch the machine off, press the red stop button (54).

Always switch off the machine when work is finished and
before unplugging.
Planing (fig. N1 & N2)
• Mount the shavings collector as described above.
• Adjust the fence as required.
• Adjust the guard to provide optimum screening.
• Set the depth of cut.
• Switch on the machine.
• Slowly feed the workpiece underneath the guard, keeping it firmly
pressed against the fence.
• Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain.
• Remember to use the push stick when close to the cutterhead.
Thicknessing (fig. O1 & O2)
• Mount the shavings collector as described above.
• Set the depth of cut.
• Switch on the machine.
• Best results are achieved when the workpiece has at least one
flat surface.
• For optimal results, plane both sides of the workpiece to reach
the desired thickness.
Follow the depth of cut and width guidelines shown in the table below.

• Slowly feed the workpiece into the machine.
• Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain.
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact the
cutters. To avoid snipe:
• Keep the workpiece level throughout the planing operation.
• Feed the workpiece flat against the table.
Warping (fig. P1 - P4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce the
desired thickness.
Bowed workpieces (fig. P1 & P2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece (fig. P1).
The bowed shape, however, will return after planing (fig. P2).
• To remove the bow, use a jointer.
Cupped workpieces (fig. P3 & P4)
• Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (fig. P3).
• Plane the pieces separately to eliminate waste.
• Alternatively, plane the top flat (55) first, turn the workpiece over and
plane the bottom flat (56) (fig. P4).
