 slide dust collector connector in
until the point of intersection of
shaft and axis below the infeed
table (arrow) is exactly above the
matching seat of the dust collec-
tor connector.
9. Crank the thicknesser bed carefully
up to secure the dust collector con-
nector in position.
10. Connect a suitable dust collector to
the suction port of the dust collector
connector.
11. Cover the cutterblock with the cutter-
block guard extrusion.

Note:
The dust extractor hood must be
mounted. The dust extractor hood
covers the knife shaft from below and
must activate the limit switch to ena-
ble the machine to be switched on.
A
Danger!
Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak,
ash) may cause cancer when inhaled:
Use a suitable dust extraction unit
when working in enclosed spaces:
 Fitting the outer diameter of the
suction port (100 mm);
 air flow volume  550 m
 vacuum at suction port of thick-
nesser  740 Pa;
 air speed at suction port of thick-
nesser  20 m/s.
A
Caution!
Operation without a dust collector is
only possible:
 Outdoors;
 if only a minimum of chips is gen-
erated (with narrow stock and lit-
tle chip removal);
 with dustrespirator.
6.2 Surface Planing and
Edge Jointing
A
Danger!
 Risk of serious personal injury by
rotating cutterblock! Always
cover the part of the cutterblock
22
that is not covered by the work
piece with the cutterblock guard
extrusion. Adjust the cutterblock
guard extrusion exactly to the
dimension of the work piece.
 Check the function of the cutter-
block guard extrusion. Push the
cutterblock guard extrusion
downwards and release. After
releasing the cutterblock guard
extrusion has to spring back
automatically to the set position.
Do not operate the device with a
defective cutterblock guard
extrusion.
 Never reach with your hands
under the cutterblock guard
extrusion when guiding the work
piece!
 Use a feeding aid (push block)
when planing small work pieces,
which can not be guided with a
sufficient safety distance to the
cutterblock.
 Use the jointer fence when edge
jointing to have safe lateral sup-
port and guiding. Use an auxiliary
fence when planing thin or nar-
row stock, to have your hands at
a sufficient safety distance to the
cutterblock.
 Use a stop block behind the work
piece for set-in work, to keep the
work piece from being thrown
back against the direction of
feed.
 Use a work piece support (e.g.
roller stand) to keep long stock in
balance.
 Do not pull the work piece back
over the unguarded cutterblock!
 Use if necessary:
Dust collection device (optional
3
/h;
accessory); sliding wax to
enhance the gliding of work
pieces across the infeed and out-
feed table.
1. Assume proper operating position:
 on the switch side;
 head-on to the machine;
2. Set jointer fence as required.
3. Set depth of cut with starknob screw
(68) on the infeed table.

Note:
The machine can remove 3 mm maxi-
mum in a single pass. This measure,
however, shall only be used:
 with very sharp planer knives;
 for soft woods;
 if the full planing width is not utilized.
Otherwise there is a risk of overloading
the machine.
It is best to make several passes to bring
the work piece down to the desired thick-
ness.
4. Place work piece against jointer
fence (if required, use auxiliary
fence).
5. Adjust cutterblock guard extrusion:
 Planing small edges (jointing):
Push the cutterblock guard extru-
sion (69) laterally to the work
piece.
69
 Planing wide surfaces:
Lower the cutterblock guard
extrusion (70) from above onto
the work piece.

6. Switching on the motor.
7. Push the work piece straigh across
the infeed table. Keep fingers
together and guide work piece with
the flat of your hand. Exert down-
