10. Electrical connection
The electrical motor installed is connected and
ready for operation. The connection complies
with the applicable VDE and DIN provisions.
The customer's mains connection as well as
the extension cable used must also comply with
these regulations.

In the event of an overloading the motor will switch
itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the
motor can be switched back on again.
Damaged electrical connection cable.
The insulation on electrical connection cables is of-
ten damaged.
This may have the following causes:
• Passage points, where connection cables are
passed through windows or doors.
• Kinks where the connection cable has been im-
properly fastened or routed.
• Places where the connection cables have been cut
due to being driven over.
• Insulation damage due to being ripped out of the
wall outlet.
• Cracks due to the insulation ageing.
Such damaged electrical connection cables must not
be used and are life-threatening due to the insulation
damage.
Check the electrical connection cables for damage
regularly. Make sure that the connection cable does
not hang on the power network during the inspection.
Electrical connection cables must comply with the
applicable VDE and DIN provisions. Only use con-
nection cables with the marking „H05VV-F".
The printing of the type designation on the connec-
tion cable is mandatory.

11. Cleaning
m Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
General maintenance measures
Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to time
using a cloth. In order to extend the service life of the
tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the
motor.
When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive prod-
ucts.
The threaded spindle for height-adjustment of the
thicknessing table may only be treated with a dry lu-
bricant agent.
The table surfaces as well as the infeed and output
rollers must always be kept free from resin.
Regularly clean infeed and output rollers.
In order to avoid overheating of the motor, regularly
check the air openings for any dust sticking on.
After a longer period of use, it is recommended to
have the machine checked by an authorized dealer
service
Tool care:
Cutter block, clamping devices, knife supports and
knives must be regularly cleaned from resin, as a
clean tool improves the planing quality. To this pur-
pose, clamping devices, knife supports and knives
can be put in a common resin remover for 24 hours.
Resin from aluminium tools may only be removed
with cleaning liquids not being aggressive to this type
of metal.
12. Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C. Store the electrical tool in its original packag-
ing. Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from
dust and moisture. Store the operating manual with
the electrical tool.
