Noise information
Measured values determined according to EN 62841. Typically, the A-weighted
noise levels of the tool are:
Sound pressure level (Uncertainty K= 3dB(A)) 89.0 dB (A)
Sound power level (Uncertainty K= 3 dB(A)) 100.0 dB (A)
Wear ear protectors!
Vibration information
Vibration total values (triaxial vector sum) determined according to EN 62841
Vibration emission value ah 2.6 m/s2
Uncertainty K= 1.5 m/s2
WARNING!
The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in accordance with a standardised
test given in EN 62841 and may be used to compare one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary
assessment of exposure.
The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications of the tool. However if the tool is used for
dierent applications, with dierent accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may dier. This may
signicantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.
An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account the times when the tool is switched
o or when it is running but not actually doing the job. This may signicantly reduce the exposure level over the total
working period. Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the eects of vibration such as:
maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm, organisation of work patterns.

WARNING!
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure
to follow the warnings and instructions may result
in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all
warnings and instructions for future reference.
PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and serious
Injury.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter may contact its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts
of the power tool live and could give the operator an
electric shock.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the work by your hand or against the body leaves it
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY AND WORKING
INSTRUCTIONS
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss. Always use the protective shields on the
machine.
Use protective equipment. Always wear safety glasses
when working with the machine. The use of protective
clothing is recommended, such as dust mask,
protective gloves, sturdy non-slip footwear, helmet and
ear defenders.
The dust produced when using this tool may be
harmful to health. Do not inhale the dust. Use a dust
absorption system and wear a suitable dust protection
mask. Remove deposited dust thoroughly, e.g. with a
vacuum cleaner.
Do not use compressed air to blow dust or debris. This
practice is dangerous and can cause dirt and grit to be
blasted o and injure someone’s eyes.
Chips and splinters must not be removed while the
product is running.
Do not drill the housing, as the protective insulation
would be rendered ineective. Use adhesive labels.
Only plane with sharp blades and avoid metal (nails,
screws).
Always disconnect the plug from the socket before
carrying out any work on the product.
SPECIFIED CONDITIONS OF USE
The planer can plane surfaces and rabbets, and bevel
and chamfer edges.
Do not use this product in any other way as stated for
normal use.
RESIDUAL RISKS
Even when the product is used as prescribed, it is still
impossible to completely eliminate certain residual
risk factors. The following hazards may arise and the
operator should pay special attention to avoid the
following:
■Injury caused by dust and debris
●Considerable dust and debris will be produced,
always connect dust bag to the product.
●Wear eye protection at all times.
●Wear respiratory protection masks containing
filters appropriate to the materials being
worked. Ensure adequate workplace ventilation.
●Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
■Injury caused by noise and vibration
●Wear ear protection during operation. Do not
operate the product for long periods of time.
See “Risk reduction”.
■Injury from contact with the cutting blades
●The accessories are sharp and will become hot
during use.
●Wear gloves when changing blades.
●Keep hands away from the cutting area at all
times.
RISK REDUCTION
It has been reported that vibrations from handheld
tools may contribute to a condition called Raynaud’s
Syndrome in certain individuals. Symptoms may
include tingling, numbness and blanching of the
fingers, usually apparent upon exposure to cold.
Hereditary factors, exposure to cold and dampness,
diet, smoking and work practices are all thought to
contribute to the development of these symptoms.
There are measures that can be taken by the operator
to possibly reduce the eects of vibration:
Keep your body warm in cold weather. When operating
the unit wear gloves to keep the hands and wrists
warm. It is reported that cold weather is a major factor
contributing to Raynaud’s Syndrome.
After each period of operation, exercise to increase
blood circulation.
Take frequent work breaks. Limit the amount of
exposure per day.
If you experience any of the symptoms of this
condition, immediately discontinue use and see your
doctor about these symptoms.
WARNING Injuries may be caused or aggravated
by prolonged use of a tool. When using any tool for
prolonged periods, ensure you take regular breaks.

WORKING INSTRUCTIONS
Never reach into the danger area of the plane when it
is running.
Place the front side of the product on to the workpiece
and switch on, before the planer blade touches the
workpiece and then guide evenly over the workpiece.
The v-shape notch in the front of the supporting plate
ensures safe chamfering of edges.
MAINS CONNECTION
Connect only to a single-phase AC current supply and
only to the mains voltage specified on the rating plate.
Must only be used from sockets with earth wire.
Appliances used at many dierent locations including
wet room and open air must be connected via a
residual current device (FI, RCD, PRO) of 30mA or less.
Keep mains lead clear from working range of the
machine. Always lead the cable away behind you.
MAINTENANCE
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear
at all times.
If the power supply cord is damaged, it must be
replaced only by the manufacturer or by an authorised
service centre to avoid a safety hazard. Contact
authorised service centre.
Important note! If the carbon brushes are worn, In
addition to exchanging the brushes the tool should be
sent to after-sales service. This will ensure long service
life and top performance.
Use only AEG accessories and spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been
described, please contact one of our AEG service
agents (see our list of guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered.
Please state the machine type printed as well as the
six-digit No. on the label and order the drawing at your
local service agents or directly at:
