GB
Switch the appliance off when it is not in use.
Wear protective gloves.
5. Before starting the equipment
Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
Always pull the power plug before making
adjustments to the equipment.
 Important: For safety reasons, the electric plane
must not be operated with the storage compartment
for accessories (9) inserted.
5.1 Adjusting the chip depth (Fig. 4/Item 1)
You can adjust the chip depth in steps of 0.1 mm
from 0 to 3 mm by turning the setting knob for the
chip depth (1).
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a
clockwise direction to set a greater chip depth.
Greater chip depth
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth (1) in a
counter-clockwise direction to set a lower chip depth.
Lower chip depth
After finishing work, set the chip depth so that the
knives are lowered and thus protected from damage.
Turn the setting knob for the chip depth to position
“0” for this purpose.
5.2 Sawdust extraction (Fig. 5-8)
For an optimal sawdust extraction you can connect
the supplied dust bag (2) to the hand-held electric
plane. To do so, slide the dust bag (2) into the
adaptor for the chip ejector (7).
The dust bag (2) can be connected optionally on
either the left or right. This requires the chip ejector
adapter (7) to be fitted accordingly. To remove the
chip ejector adapter from the mount, first press the
locking knob (a) and then pull the adapter (7) out of
the mount (10). Plug the adapter (7) with the required
eject direction into the mount (10). As you do so,
make sure that the guide (b) of the adapter (7)
coincides with the slot of the mount (10). When the
locking knob (a) engages correctly it makes an
audible click. Check that the adapter is secure.
Alternatively you can connect the equipment to a
vacuum cleaner. To do so, insert the vacuum cleaner
tube (c) into the chip ejector adapter (7). Check that
all the parts are properly connected.
Important! The vacuum cleaner you use for the
extraction work must be suitable for the workpiece
material.
5.3 Parallel stop (Fig. 9/Item 13)
Use the parallel stop (13) when you want to plane
parallel to the edge of the workpiece.
Fitting the parallel stop (Fig. 9)
Fasten the mount (d) of the parallel stop to the
left side of the tool using the supplied thumb
screw (a).
Now connect the mount (d) to the slide of the
parallel stop (13).
The guide rail must always be aligned in
downward direction.
Fix the distance required between the parallel
stop and the edge of the workpiece.
Fasten the parts with the carriage bolt (b) and
the wing nut (c).
6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 10)
The hand-held electric plane comes with a safety
switch which is designed to prevent accidents.
To switch on the tool press the side safety lock-
off (3) and press the button switch. The safety
lock-off (3) can be pressed from the left and
right.
Release the button switch (4) to switch off the
electric plane. The button switch (4) jumps back
into its starting position.
6.2 Practical tips
 Important: Only ever bring the hand-held electric
plane towards the workpiece while switched on.
6.2.1 Planing surfaces
Now adjust the desired chip depth. Equip the front
base plate and place the hand-held electric plane
onto the piece of wood you whish to plane. Then
switch on the plane. Push to electric plane over the
surface with both hands and make sure that the both
the front and the rear base plate lie flat on the
workpiece.
Used a low chip depth for finishing surfaces and
complete several passes over the surface.

GB
6.2.2 Chamfering edges (Fig. 11-12)
There are three V-shaped grooves (a) in the front
base plate that enable you to plane edges at an
angle of 45° for a smooth finish. You can choose
from three different sizes of V-shaped grooves
(a).
Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full
speed. Place the required V-shaped groove (a)
on the edge of the workpiece at an angle of 45°.
Now move the electric plane along the edge of
the workpiece.
To achieve a good quality result you should keep
the feed speed and angle constant.
6.2.3 Planing steps (Fig. 9/13)
The planing of steps is possible with the help of
the parallel stop (13).
Mount the parallel stop (13) on the left side of the
tool (see section 5.3).
To mount the depth stop fasten the step depth
scale (12) to the front right side of the plane
housing with the locking screw (11) (see Fig. 13).
Release the locking screw (11) and position the
step depth scale (12) so that the required step
depth is displayed. Tighten the locking screw
(11) again.
Width of step:
You can set the width of the step with the parallel
stop (13).
Depth of step:
We recommend you to set a cutting depth of 2 mm
and to keep planing the workpiece until the required
depth of step is reached.
7. Replacing the power cable
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.
8. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering
of spare parts
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
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 attack the plastic parts
of the equipment. Ensure that no water can seep
into the device.
8.2 Carbon brushes
In case of excessive sparking, have the carbon
brushes checked only by a qualified electrician.
Important! The carbon brushes should not be rep
laced by anyone but a qualified electrician.
8.3. Changing the planing knives (Fig. 14-16)
 Important: Always pull the plug out of the power
socket before doing any work on the equipment.
To change the planing knives, use the supplied
wrench (a). The wrench (a) is kept in the storage
compartment for accessories (9). If required, take the
wrench (a) and the planing knife (b) out of the
storage compartment for accessories (9) (see Fig.
14).
 Important: For safety reasons, the electric plane
must not be operated with the storage compartment
for accessories (9) inserted.
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 (c) using the
wrench (a) supplied and push the carbide metal
reversible knife out of the planing shaft using a piece
of wood. (see Fig. 15).

GB
Clean the knife seat before fitting. Install the knives
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.
Important: Before using the hand-held electric
plane make sure the knives are installed securely
and in the right place.
Check the correct setting (Fig. 16)
(8) Front base plate (moving plane shoe)
(5) Rear base plate (fixed 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. 17-18)
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.
8.6 Ordering replacement parts
