9. Operation
m IMPORTANT!: The surfacing and thicknessing plane has been spe-
cially designed for planing solid wood. High alloy knives (24) are used for
this purpose. The contact surface of the workpiece must be flat for thick-
nessing. If you want to work on large or heavy workpieces, the machine
must be secured in place (e.g. using the thread in the machine base).
• The ON/OFF switch (1) is on the left-hand side of the machine. Press
the green key "I" to switch on the machine. Press the red key "0" to
switch off the machine.
• The machine is fitted with an overload switch (2) to protect the motor.
In the event of an overload, the machine will cut out automatically. Af-
ter a short time, the overload switch (2) can be reset again.
• To work on long workpieces, use roller tables or a similar supporting
arrangement. Such optional units are available from your local DIY
stores. They must be placed at the entry and exit ends of the plane.
Their height must be adjusted such that the workpiece is horizontal
when it is fed into and out of the machine.

m IMPORTANT!: Pull out the power plug before performing any main-
