S witch on the device.
A lways place the front part of the sole
first on to the workpiece.
G uide the device with even forward movement
over the surface being planed.
M ove the device forward at a slow rate and
ensure that the contact pressure acts evenly on
the sole
. Moving forward at too great a rate

results in a poorer surface quality and can lead
to blocking of the planing debris removal port.

planer blade
DANGER OF INJURY!
Before you carry out any work on the device always
pull the mains plug out of the mains socket.
C AUTION! The sharp cutting edges of the plan-
er blade
present an injury hazard! Never
20
touch the cutting edges of the planer blade
The planer blade
has two cutting edges and it
20
can be fitted either way around.
R eplace the planer blade
edges are blunt.
D o not resharpen the planer blades
Reversing or replacing a planer blade
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Do not release the two Allen keys. They are used to
adjust the height of the blade shaft.
Adjustment is necessary only if you wish to use a
different planer blade type e.g. a profiled blade.
Always replace both blades at the same time to
avoid out of balance forces.
NOTE: If you only release one blade first then you
can use the factory-fitted second blade for orientation
when you fit the new blade.
1. Release the 3 bolts of the cutting element
using the supplied open spanner
P ress the removable side guard
in the housing.
2. Push the cutting element
