Provide a support:
Screw the support (13) as shown with screw
(12) and shim (11) on planer.
Hold the switch trigger of the planer in the ON
position by means of the plastic strap (8)
supplied with the stand. The chain of the
plastic strap can be fitted to the spring on the
finger guard (6).
Surface planing operation
For reasons of safety and to ensure faultless
guiding of the workpiece on the soleplate of
the planer, for sur face planing the planing
guide of the tool should always be used
(as a fence).
The fence (5) should be positioned so that
during surface planing the workpiece will
almost completely cover the cutter block
of the planer (exposed part of cutter block
merely 1–2 mm).
The workpiece should be guided over the
soleplate of the planer under moderate
pressure and at even speed. In doing so,
pressure should not be exerted on the wood
through the finger-tips, but using the ball
of the thumb.
The finger guard (6) recedes automati cally
sideways when sliding the workpiece forward.
The spacer rest (7) (on planers Ho 0882,
Ho 0883 and Ho E 0983) moves downwards
on contact with the workpiece edge.
A push stick should be used for sliding the
workpieces forward within the area of the
cutter block of the tool.
For edging, the planed surface of the
workpiece is drawn along the fence (5).
To edge thin boards, push through a thick
piece of waste wood together with the thin
board, otherwise it may tilt.
