Operating notes:
The planer tables are precisely aligned
ex. works. They may only be loaded
when the table-cabinet locks are
engaged, otherwise they may be
damaged or precision of machine be
lost.
Always use sharp cutter knives!
Check work piece for foreign objects
(nails, screws) and for loose knots.
Feed with thicker work piece end at
the front, hollow side downward.
Plane the stock with the grain, if
possible.
You get a better surface when planing
several passes with less chip removal.
Switch machine off if no further
planing is to be done immediately
afterwards. Cover the cutter block with
the cutter block guard.
Jointing and planing of short
workpieces may only be performed
with the help of tailor made push
woods and templates.
