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.

the electrical tool.

13. Maintenance

m Warning! Prior to any adjustment, maintenance or
service work disconnect the mains power plug!
Changing the knives (Fig 17-19)
• m Important!: Always pull the mains plug before
changing the knives.
• Pull the planing knife cover (9) forwards as far as
possible so that the entire knife block is exposed.
• Loosen and remove the four clamping screws (23).
• Lift the knives (25) and knife block (24) from the
cutter block.
• Remove the chips and any resin from the cutter
block and knife support.
• Place new knives (25) into the cutter block and fix
them with the rectangle slots in both screw heads.
(With these two screws, height-adjustment of the
knife is done.)
• Place the knife block (24) onto the knife.
• Slightly tighten the four clamping bolts (23).
• Repeat these actions for the second knife.
• Place the blade adjustment block (18), as shown
in Figure 18, on the knife block. Make sure that the
knife (25) touches both sides of the blade adjust-
ment block (18).
• By the two set screws (26), the knife can be adjust-
ed for height.
• After a successful knife setting, all clamping screws
must be tightened
Please mind:
• Sharp planer/thicknesser knives guarantee a clean
planing surface and put less stress on the motor.
• After three grinding actions, a maximum material
removal of 3 x 0.05 mm may not be exceeded.
• The planer/thicknesser blades used on this ma-
chine are not suitable for rebating and dovetailing.
• Finally lower the cutter block guard again onto the
table. Cover the cutter block and block it with the
star grip screw.
