6. Operation
6.1 ON/OFF switch (Fig. 6)
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.
Release the button switch (2) to switch off the
electric plane. The button switch (2) 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.
6.2.2 Chamfering edges (Fig. 7-8)
There is a V-shaped groove (a) in the front base
plate that enables you to plane edges at an angle
of 45° for a smooth finish.
Switch on the tool and wait until it reaches full
speed. Place the 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.

7. Replacing the power cable

If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it

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. 9-11)
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 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. 10).
