Before Starting The Equipment; Practical Tips - EINHELL RT-PL 82 Mode D'emploi D'origine

Anleitung_RT_PL_82_SPK1:_
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.
