connected to a different outlet.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect the
phases must be changed on the supply line or
mains connection by an electrician.
9. Operation
Surface planer mode
Note:
Surface planing is used to level an
uneven surface (= jointing), for example the
edges of a plank.
– The work piece rests on top of the infeed table.
– The work piece is cut on the underside.
– The feed direction for the work piece is exactly
opposite than that for thickness planing.

ing aid) if less than

9.1 Preparation,

Danger!
Always unplug before servicing!
1. Adjust the fence (6) outwards so that it does not
interfere.
See fig. I.
2. Turn the setting screw (2) in anti-clockwise
direction to the end position (undo).
3. Swing chip chute (3) downwards.
See fig. J.
4. Turn both left and right lock lever (5) outwards.
5. Put outfeed table (1) on the machine – both pins
on the machine housing must engage in the
lower slots of the outfeed table guide.
Note:
Only when the outfeed table is correctly
mounted can the end switch be triggered.
Only then the machine can be switched on.
6. Secure outfeed table (1) with both lock levers
(5). Close both lock levers until the stop.
Only then can the device be switched on.
7. Set the thicknesser bed (15) all the way down
using the hand crank (21).
See fig. K.
8. On the side of the infeed table (11):
Attach the chip extraction guard (13) between
infeed table (11) and thicknesser bed (15). Pay
attention to the correct position:
- round suction port points outwards. Fence (a)
points downwards.
- Insert the fence (a) into the tab (b) on the thick-
nesser bed (15).
9. Crank the thicknesser bed carefully up to
secure the chip extraction guard (13). The chip
extraction guard covers the cutterblock
from below. Only when the chip extraction
guard (13) is correctly mounted can the
end switch be triggered. Only then can the
device be switched on.
10.If necessary: Connect the hose of a suitable
extraction system to the suction port of the chip
extraction guard (13). Pay attention to chapter
10.3.
11.Cover the cutterblock with the cutterblock
guard extrusion (22).
9.2 Surface Planing and Edge Jointing
Danger!
– Risk of serious personal injury by rotating
cutterblock! Always cover the part of the
cutterblock that it not covered by the work-
piece with the cutterblock guard extrusion
(22). Adjust the cutterblock guard extrusion
exactly to the dimension of the work piece.

– Check the function of the cutterblock guard
extrusion. Push the cutterblock guard
extrusion downwards and release. After
releasing the cutterblock guard extrusion
has to spring back automatically to the set
position. Do not operate the device with a
defective cutterblock guard extrusion.
– Never reach with your hands under the
cutterblock guard extrusion when guiding
the work piece!
– Use a feeding aid (push block) when
planing small work pieces, which can not be
guided with a sufficient safety distance to
the cutterblock.
– Use the jointer fence when edge jointing to
have safe lateral support and guiding. Use
an auxiliary fence when planing thin or
narrow stock, to have your hands at a suffi-
cient safety distance to the cutterblock.
– Use a stop block behind the work piece for
set-in work, to keep the work piece from
being thrown back against the direction of
feed.

– Use a work piece support (e.g. roller stand)

to keep long stock in balance.
– Do not pull the work piece back over the

260mm min.
– Use if necessary:
Chip extraction system, sliding wax (to
enhance the gliding of work pieces across
the infeed and outfeed table).
1. Assume proper operating position:
- on the switch side;
- head-on to the machine;
2. See fig. L: Set fence (6) with clamping lever (8)
and clamping lever (9) as required.
3. See fig. M: Set the desired chip removal with
the height adjustment (12) and read off the
scale (18).
in a single pass. This measure, however, shall
only be used:
– with very sharp planer knives;
– for soft woods;
– if the full planing width is not utilized.
Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the
machine.
It is recommended to machine a workpiece in
several operations.
4. Place workpiece against the fence (6) (if
required, use auxiliary fence).
5. Adapt the cutterblock guard extrusion to the
workpiece:
- A) Planing small edges (jointing):
See fig. N: Set the cutterblock guard extrusion
(22) all the way down by turning the screw
(25). Loosen the clamping screw (23), push
the cutterblock guard extrusion (22) sideways
to the workpiece, tighten the clamping screw
(23).
- B) Planing wide surfaces:
See fig. O: Lower the cutterblock guard extru-
sion (22) from the top onto the workpiece.
Adjust to the thickness of the workpiece by
turning the screw (25). Loosen the clamping
screw (23), push the cutterblock guard extru-
sion (22) sideways to the fence (6), tighten the
clamping screw (23).
6. Switching on the motor.
7. Exert downward pressure on the workpiece
only in the infeed table area (1).
8. Push the workpiece straight across the infeed
table (11). Keep fingers together and guide
work piece with the flat of your hand.
9. Switch machine off if no further thicknessing is
to be done immediately afterwards.
10. Operation
of a work piece with one already planed
surface.
– The work piece is fed through the thicknesser.
– The surface already planed flat rests on the
thicknesser bed (15).
– The work piece is cut on the upper side.
– The feed direction for the work piece is exactly
opposite than for surface planing. See fig. R.
Note:
The machine can remove 3 mm maximum

10.1 Preparation,
converting to thickness planing
Danger!
Always unplug before servicing!
1. Adjust the fence (6) outwards so that it does not
interfere. (Alternatively: Remove the fence (6)
and lay it aside.)
See fig. P.
2. Turn both left and right lock lever (5) outwards.
3. Remove outfeed table (1) and lay it aside.
See fig. Q.
4. Swing chip chute (3) up over the cutterblock.
(The chip chute serves as a guard for the cutter-
block).
5. Turn the safety screw (2) in clockwise direc-
tion to the end position (tighten), only then
will the limit switch be triggered and only
then can the guard unit be switched on.
6. When operating with a chip extraction unit:
Remove the wing nut (a) from the chip chute
(3). Place the chip extraction guard (13) onto
the chip chute (3) and fix with the wing nut (a).
Connect the hose of a suitable extraction
system to the suction port. Pay attention to
chapter 10.3.
10.2 Thickness Planing
Danger!
– Entanglement hazard by the rotating feed
rollers! Do not reach into the machine! Use
a feeding aid (push stick (14)), if you want to
feed short stock into the thicknesser.
– Do not jam any work pieces. Risk of kick-
back.
– Remove stuck stock only after motor has
come to a complete stop and machine is
unplugged.
– Guide a work piece on the outfeed side if it
has been fed so far into the thicknesser that
it can no longer be safely guided from the
infeed side.
– Do not thickness plane more than two work
pieces at the same time. In this case feed
both work pieces near the outer edges of
the thicknesser bed.
– Use if necessary:
Chip extraction system, sliding wax (to
enhance the gliding of work pieces across
the thicknesser bed).
Caution!
There is a limit switch inside the machine.
Take care not to damage the limit switch when
feeding work pieces.
1. Assume proper operating position:
- on the switch side;
- head-on to the machine;
2. Adjust the planing thickness with the hand
crank (21) and read off the scale.
Note:
The machine can remove 3 mm maximum
in a single pass. This measure, however, shall
only be used:
– with very sharp planer knives;
– for soft woods;
– if the full planing width is not utilized.
Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the
machine.
It is best to make several passes to bring the work
piece down to the desired thickness. See fig. R.
3. To thickness plane stock the surfaces of which
are not parallel, use suitable feeding aids
(make suitable templates (see fig. S)).
4. Switching on the motor.
