1. Before plugging in the machine, ensure that the
power supply voltage corresponds to what is stated on
the machine's characteristics plate.
2. Before starting up the machine, ensure that the
abrasive roller is properly fastened in place and does
not rub against any other part of the machine.
3. Before starting to work, make sure that there are no
nails or sharp angles on the surface to be sanded that
could damage the abrasive roller.
4. Always keep hands clear of the sanding area and grasp
the machine by the handgrip.
5. The dust produced during sanding may prove to be
toxic or harmful to your health, and therefore it is
necessary that the machine always be connected to a
dust collector.
6. It is also recommended that dust collection be used in
order to prolong the life of the abrasive roller.
7. Wait until the machine has come to a complete stop
before putting it down or storing it.
8. Unplug the machine from the electrical outlet before
performing any maintenance operations.
9. Wear earplugs when using the machine (see chapter 13)
10. Always use original VIRUTEX spare parts.

6. GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The CE23N abrasive planer is a tool that will prove useful
to carpenters, fitters, restorers and shipwrights. It is
especially designed for the shaving and/or sanding of:
wood, varnished wood, stratified wood, softwood and
such materials as fibreglass and carbon fibre reinforced
with epoxy, vinyl and polyester resins.
To enhance the machine performance and working life
of the abrasive roller, we recommend the following:
- set the pass depth according to the hardness of the
material to be sanded, so that the machine may be moved
at a reasonable speed, thus preventing overheating due
to excessive loss of roller speed.
- change the abrasive roller once worn; a worn roller
does not sand effectively and causes the motor and the
roller itself to overheat.
The machine is equipped with a dust collector connec-
tion which can be used for connection to our AS182K,
AS282K dust collector or any industrial equivalent via
the STANDARD DUST COLLECTOR ATTACHMENT (ref.
6446073). For assembling the dust collector connection,
remove the chips outlet guide A (Fig. 1) using screws B
and fit the dust collector connection in its place.
7. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
The planer is equipped with an upwardly-engaging
safety button, which avoids the machine from being
started up accidentally.
To start up the machine, press down on the safety button
D while depressing the power button E (Fig. 2).
8. ADJUSTING PASS DEPTH

When trimming and/or smoothing or finishing work is

required, turn knob G (Fig. 2) until the proper pass depth
is achieved (maximum sanding depth: 1 mm).
To chamfer the edges of a workpiece quickly and easily,
place the front groove "V" of the centre of the planer
shoe onto the workpiece edge and guide the planer
forward evenly, maintaining an angle of 45º (Fig. 3).
9. CHANGING THE ABRASIVE ROLLER
In order to change the abrasive roller, proceed as follows:
60-grain Carborundum abrasive roller
60-grain zirconium oxide abrasive roller
Unplug the machine from the electrical
outlet before performing any mainte-
nance operation.
