− when the maximum work piece
width is not used.
Otherwise there is a risk of overloading
the machine.
•
It is strongly recommended that you
make several passes at a moderate
depth of cut, to achieve the desired
work piece thickness.

Note:
The ideal depth of cut to be used
depends on a number of factors, such as
type of wood, work piece width or the
state of dryness of the wood.
If you are planing mainly very wide (13
inch (330 mm)) work pieces, the motor is
subjected to heavy loads.
•
Plane narrow work pieces inbe-
tween, or take a break to relieve the
motor.
Work piece dimensions
•
Do not work work pieces which are
shorter than 14 inch (356 mm). With
shorter work pieces there is a risk of
kickback!
•
Do not work work pieces which are
shorter than 3/16 " (5 mm). The cut-
terblock head cannot be set lower.
•
Work only work pieces which are
wider than 3/4 " (19 mm).
•
Use extra work piece supports for
work pieces which are longer than
5 feet (1500 mm).
•
Never thickness several work pieces
at the same time. Risk of personal
injury if individual pieces are uncon-
trolled caught by the cutterblock.
1. Fold down both infeed and outfeed
table.
2. Set the planing thickness with the
crank (52). The planing thickness is
indicated by the scale (53).
A
Risk of kickback!
Adjust the planing thickness only
when the cutterblock is at standstill!
53
3. Start motor (press green switch but-
ton).
A
Risk of injury!
•
Never reach with your hands into
the machine when guiding the
workpiece!
•
Guide a work piece on the out-
feed side if it has been fed so far
into the thicknesser that it can no
longer be safely guided from the
infeed side.
•
Never force the work piece into
the machine by pushing or shov-
ing. The machine will draw the
work piece in automatically with
the infeed roller.
4. Slide work piece slowly over the
infeed table. It will then be automati-
cally fed through the thicknesser.
5. Guide work piece straight through
the thicknesser.
6. Switch machine off if no further plan-
ing is to be done immediately after-
wards.
Planing with the final thickness stop
1. Set lock lever fully to the left, into the
position marked .
2. Raise cutterblock head and set to a
planing thickness of more than
1 3/4" (44 mm).
Set the final thickness stop (54) to
3.
the desired thickness of the work-
piece.
52
4. Lower the cutterblock head, until it is
stopped by the final thickness stop.
Possibly the work piece needs to be
planed down to a thickness which
will permit it to be planed down to
the final thickness in the last pass.
5. Set lock lever fully to the right, to the
position marked .
6. Start motor (press green switch but-
ton) and plane the work piece.

8. Care and Maintenance

Prior to all servicing:
1. switch machine OFF;
2. Wait until the cutterblock has
come to a complete stop.
3. Unplug power cable.
A Cutting hazard when touching
the rotating cutterblock!
Accidental starting of the machine
may cause serious injury.
A Burning hazard!
Right after planing the planer
knives may be hot – let the machine
cool down before servicing.
The checks and procedures described
here are meant to help operate the
machine safely! Should there be faults
evident on any of these components, the
machine must not be used until these
faults have been remedied in a work-
manlike manner.
− Repair and maintenance work other
than described in this section should
only be carried out by qualified spe-
cialists.
− Check power supply cable for dam-
ages.
Never use the machine when the
power supply cable is damaged.
Risk of personal injury by electric
shock. Have a damaged power sup-
ply cable replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
− Replace defective parts, especially
of safety devices, only with genuine
replacement parts. Parts not tested
and approved by the manufacturer
can cause unforeseen damage.
After all servicing:
•
Check to see that all safety
devices are operational.
•
Make sure that no tools or other
parts remain
machine.

Danger!
A
Some types of wood dust (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled.
When cleaning the machine wear dust
respirator and safety goggles, to pro-
tect yourself from wood dust or splin-
ters.
A
Caution!
•
For cleaning, do not use solvents
or cleaning agents containing
solvents. The machine's plastic
parts may be affected and dam-
aged by the use of solvents.
