Support of cut material
When working, always remember that the material
being cut must be supported.
Always support the cut material while planing. When
inserting and removing from the planer. The use of
a lumber stand is necessary for exceptionally long
lumber.
Attention! Planing too fast can result in a dangerous
situation.
Planing too slowly can cut or burn lumber.
Turn on / off
To turn on the machine: open the switch cover and
press the green "I" button.
To turn off the machine: open the switch cover and
press the red "O" button.
Overload protection
The machine is equipped with an overcurrent switch
(3) to protect against overload.
If the motor stops suddenly while the machine is
running, it may be the result of a protective device
that has cut off the power supply to protect the motor
from overheating.
If the overload protection device activates, wait for the
motor to cool down and press the protection device
button.
Setting the depth of cut
! Never plan more than 3mm in one pass and never
attempt to plan a board shorter than 250mm. Do not
plan a board that is thinner than 6 mm or thicker than
152 mm (6"). Always wear a face shield.
To adjust the depth of cut, turn the hand crank for
raising the knife head (5) in the direction marked on
the top of the planer. You can read the depth of cut
setting on the depth scale (6). One revolution of the
hand crank represents 2 mm.
Always start by making a thin planing cut. The depth
of cut of the following shots can be up to 3 mm, but
remember that a thin cut creates a smoother surface
than deeper cuts.
The thickness of the board that passes through the
planer is controlled by the set distance of the cutting
edge of the knife from the table.
If additional planing is required to obtain the desired
thickness or surface, adjust the knife head to a maxi-
mum height of 3 mm using the hand crank (this height
must always be maintained) and make another cut.
Setting the depth of cut scale (E)
For reasons of safe operation of the planer, it is very
important to carefully read the depth of cut scale (6).
Follow these instructions to set the depth of cut scale:
Insert the board you want to process into the planer.
Compare the measured board thickness with the
reading on the depth of cut scale.
If the reading you read on the depth of cut scale is
incorrect, loosen the screw that tightens the plastic
indicator and adjust it. (E1)
If you have set the depth of cut scale correctly, check
this reading by planing a piece of leftover lumber.
After planing, measure the planed thickness and
double check it with the scale reading. Both measure-
ments should be the same. If necessary, readjust the
depth of cut scale according to the planed thickness
reading.
Removing the Planer Blades – (F)
- A) locking screws, B) locking lever, C) knife, D) knife
spring, E) adjustment template.
! Always disconnect the planer from the power source
before disassembling the planer blades. energy.
Remove the chip guard by unscrewing the nuts.
Release the locking lever (B) and the blade by tur-
ning the locking screws (A) clockwise. The knives
are mounted on a spring so that they are pushed out
when the unit is released.
Carefully remove the knife holder-locking lever (B)
and the knife (C).
Remove the knife from the holder.
Have the knife sharpened professionally or replace it
with a new one.
Note: always sharpen or replace knives in pairs.
Installing Planer Blades (F)
! Always disconnect the machine from the power
source before installing the planer blades. energy.
Place the knife holder-locking lever with the knife in
place (B) into its hole in the knife head.
Make sure the knife is in the center of the drum.
To set the correct knife height, place the knife adjus-
tment template (E) on the knife adjustment over the
knife and drum.
Push the knife adjustment template (E) down and
fasten the nearest knife screw.
Once the 3 blade screws, center and both end screws
are in place, recheck that the blade is at the correct
height along its entire length. If the blade height is not
correct, loosen the screws again and adjust again.
Blades that are set at the wrong height can shatter
and injure the operator.
