8. Cleaning, maintenance and
ordering of spare parts
Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before star-
ting any cleaning work.
8.1 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 with compressed air at low
pressure.
•
We recommend that you clean the device
immediately each time you have finished
using it.
•
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist
cloth and some soft soap. Do not use
cleaning agents or solvents; these could at-
tack the plastic parts of the equipment. Ensu-
re that no water can seep into the device. The
ingress of water into an electric tool increases
the risk of an electric shock.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualifi ed electrician.
Danger! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualifi ed electrician.
8.3. Changing the planing knives (Fig. 9-12)
Danger! Always pull the plug out of the power so-
cket before doing any work on the equipment.
The hand-held electric plane comes with two
carbide metal reversible 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. Replace a
worn, blunt or damaged knife.
Carbide metal reversible knives cannot be re-
sharpened.
Undo the three hexagonal screws (a) using the
wrench (12) supplied and push the carbide metal
reversible knife out of the planing shaft using a
piece of wood. (see Fig. 9).
Clean the knife seat before fi tting. Install the kni-
ves in reverse order. Check that the planing knife
conforms with both ends of the planing shaft.
Always replace both knives to ensure a uniform
chip depth.

Danger! Before using the hand-held electric
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 adjustment
Result: Smooth planed surfaces
2. Notches in the surface
Problem: The cutting edge on 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 on 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 on the planing knife
(or both planing knives) is above the height of the
rear base plate.
8.4 Replacing the drive belt (Fig. 11-12)
•
The belt should be replaced by a trained
expert.
•
The drive belt (b) must be replaced if it is
worn.
•
Undo the screws (a) and remove belt cover at
the sides (6).
•
Remove the worn belt drive (b) and clean the
two belt pulleys (c/d).
•
Place the new drive belt on the small belt
pulley (c) and pull the belt onto the large belt
pulley (d) whilst turning the planing shaft.
•
Ensure that the longitudinal grooves on the
drive belt are in the guide grooves on the
drive wheels.
•
Fit the belt cover (6) and secure it with the
screws (a).
8.5 Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which
require additional maintenance.
