4 SYMBOLS
In this manual and/or on the machine the following symbols are used:
In accordance with essential
safety standards of
applicable European
directives
Class II - The machine is double
insulated; Earthing wire is
therefore not necessary.
Denotes risk of personal
injury or damage to the tool.
Always wear protective gloves.
5 GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow all warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains operated (corded)
power tool or battery operated (cordless) power tool.
5.1 Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause
you to lose control.
5.2 Electrical safety
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
rating plate.
Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching
outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.
Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges
and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or
grounded.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will
increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the power
tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled
cords increase the risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use.
Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device
(RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
5.3 Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power
tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. Safety equipment such as dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used whenever conditions require
will reduce personal injuries.

Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position before plugging in.
Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key
left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better
control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
moving parts.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of these devices can reduce dust related
hazards.
5.4 Power tool use and care
Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct
power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the plug from the power source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with
the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or sticking of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting
edges are less likely to stick and are easier to control.
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner intended for the particular type of power tool, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from intended could lead to a hazardous situation.
5.5 Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
6 ADDITIONAL SAFETY WARNINGS FOR PLANERS
Before using the tool, make sure that the cutters have been properly mounted.
Do not use the tool before It has been fully adjusted according to the Instructions.
Before planing, let the tool run without load to check if the cutters are properly balanced.
Never load the tool so much that the motor Is coming 1o a standstill,
When planing, shavings may assemble in the grooves. Do not remove the shavings with
your hands - use a piece of wood,
Only use the cutter cylinder and cutters supplied with the tool.
Use original accessories only.
Only use sharp cutters.
If you want to make adjustments to the tool, switch it off, wait for the cylinder to come to a
standstill and unplug the tool,
Switch off the tool and wait for the cutters to come to a standstill before putting the tool
down. Reduce the planing depth to avoid contact between the cutters and other objects.

7 ADJUSTMENTS/SETTINGS
7.1 Remove the blades (Fig. 1)
Place the tool on a table with the base plate pointing towards you.
Press and hold the spring-loaded protective cover, and unscrew the 3 installation bolts
with the spanner provided.
Slide the blade out of its holder.
If one of the blades is damaged, always replace both blades.
7.2 Install the blades (Fig. 2)
First clean out all chips or foreign material adhering to the drum(a) or blades(b)
Always replace blades with same dimension and weight.
Slide the blade into the blade holder. The blade must be level with the planer’s base plate
The blade must be positioned exactly in the middle of the blade holder.
Tighten the 3 installation bolts.
Always unplug the tool before replacing the cutters.
7.3 Setting the planing depth (Fig. 3)
Prior to any assembly and adjustment always unplug the tool.
Plane depth is variable from 0 to 3.0 mm. This is adjustable by rotating the adjustment
knob of cutting depth (2).
As the knob is rotated clockwise from the “0”position the cutting depth will increase from 0
to as much as 3.0 mm.
It is recommended that test cuts are made in scrap wood after each re-adjustment to
make sure the desired amount of wood is being removed by the planer.
Several shallow passes will produce a smoother finish than one deep pass.
7.4 Mounting and setting the parallel guide (Fig. 4)
The parallel guide assembly is for use when you wish to plane parallel to the work piece.
Secure the parallel guide holder to the left-hand side or right-hand side of the planer using
the wing screw .
Now secure the parallel stop guide rail “T” to the holder using the wing screw and the
knob. The guide rail must always point downwards.
Set the required distance between the guide rail and the work piece.
Tighten the knob on the guide rail.

8.3 Planing
Choose the desired cutting depth before operation.
Hold the planer with one hand on the switch and the other hand on the adjustment knob
(2).
Place planer’s shoe on the surface to be planed. Making certain that the cutting blades are
not touching the surface.
Push down firmly on the adjustment knob of the planer. So that the planer’s base is
completely flat on the work piece surface. Depress the lock-off button and push the trigger
switch. Allow the motor to reach full speed before starting to plane.
Move the tool slowly over the work piece and maintain downward pressure to keep the
planer flat. Be particularly careful to keep the tool flat at the beginning and the end of the
work piece surface.
ATTENTION: Never change the cutting depth while operating , to not create any
irregularities on the planed surface.
8.4 Rebating (Fig. 7)
The “L” depth guide (18) is used in conjunction with the parallel guide assembly (12) for
rebating applications.
The depth of rebating is determined by the depth of cut and the number of passes made
along the work-piece. The maximum rebate depth is 18 mm, made in several passes up to
3mm each time. The Maximum width of a rebate cut is 82mm and is determined by the
setting of parallel guide assembly (12).
Fit the “L” depth guide (18) and the parallel guide assembly to the planer on the opposite
sides of the tool.
Adjust the parallel guide assembly according to the required cutting width and tighten the
wing screw (8).
Place the tool on a flat surface with the rear base (16) flat on the surface, adjust the “L”
depth guide so the distance between the bottom surface of the “L” depth guide and the flat
surface equals the desired rebating depth, and tighten the wing screw (8) of “L” depth
guide.
Set the adjustment knob of cutting depth (2) to a suitable depth.
Carry out the planing with the flat surface of parallel guide assembly kept tight against the
edge of your workpiece. Repeat cutting until the bottom surface of “L” depth guide is level
with the work-piece surface.
8.5 Edge chamfering (Fig. 8)
Your planer has 3 precision machine grooves (11) in the front base (10) for planing along
a corner of the wood. It’s a good idea to try a scrap piece of wood before doing final
pieces.
8.6 Dust extraction
When using the planer dust will be generated.
Always use the dust bag supplied with your product.
The dust extraction outlet can be connected to an external vacuum cleaner to extract while
operating.
