Connect the vacuum hose 16 to a vacuum cleaner
(accessory). An overview for connecting to vari-
ous vacuum cleaners can be found at the end of
this manual.
The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma-
terial being worked.
When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri-
mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special
vacuum cleaner.
Integrated Dust Extraction (see figure C)
A chip/dust bag (accessory) 17 can be used for
smaller jobs. Insert the sleeve of the chip/dust
bag firmly into the chip ejector 3. Empty the
chip/dust bag 17 at regulary intervals to maintain
optimum dust collection.
Choice of Chip Ejector Side
With the selector lever 8, the chip ejector 3 can
be switched to right or left. Always press the se-
lector lever 8 until it engages in the end position.
The selected ejection direction is indicated by an
arrow symbol on the selector lever 8.

Operating Modes

Adjusting the Planing Depth
With the adjustment knob 2, the planing depth
can be adjusted variably from 0–3.1 mm using
the planing depth scale 1 (scale graduation =
0.1 mm).
Park Rest (see figure G)
The park rest 26 allows the machine to be set
down directly after operation, without danger of
damaging the working surface or the planer
blade. While planing, the park rest 26 is tilted up-
wards thus enabling full contact of the rear part
of the planer base plate 9.

Starting Operation

Observe correct mains voltage! The voltage
of the power source must agree with the
voltage specified on the nameplate of the
machine. Power tools marked with 230 V can
also be operated with 220 V.
Switching On and Off
To start the machine, first push the lock-off but-
ton for the On/Off switch 4 and then press the
On/Off switch 5 and keep it pressed.
To switch off the machine, release the On/Off
switch 5.
Note: For safety reasons, the On/Off switch 5
cannot be locked; it must remain pressed during
the entire operation.
Operating Instructions
Planing (see figure G)
Set the required planing depth and place the
front part of the planer base plate 9 against the
workpiece.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise there is danger
of kickback when the cutting tool jams in the
workpiece.
Switch the machine on and guide the machine
with even feed over the surface to be planed.
To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with
low feed and apply pressure on the centre of the
planer base plate.
When machining hard materials (e.g. hardwood)
as well as when utilising the maximum planer
width, set only low planing depths and reduce
planer feed, as required.
Excessive feed reduces the surface quality and
can lead to rapid clogging of the chip ejector.
Only sharp blades achieve good cutting capacity
and give the machine longer life.
The integrated park rest 26 also allows for con-
tinued planing at any given location on the work-
piece after an interruption:
– With the park rest folded down, place the ma-
chine on the location of the workpiece where
the planing is to be continued.
