OPERATIONAL SAFETY

Warning! Be aware this planer can produce fine dust, which can be hazardous to your health. Always use a suitable mask, eye protection, and other personal protection equipment. Use dust extraction during working and cleaning.

Concentrate

Routine and repetition can lead to mistakes. Remember that a slight lack of concentration can result in serious injuries in a split second.

Keep work area clean

Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.

Consider the work environment

Do not expose power tools to rain or use them in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use power tools in the presence of flammable liquids, vapours or gases.

Guard against electric shock

This unit contains dangerous voltages. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces (e.g. pipes, radiator, ranges or refrigerators).

Keep children and pets away

Do not let children or pets come into contact with the tool, extension cable or work area.

Do not force the tool

It will work better and safer at the rate for which it was intended.

Use the right tool

Do not force small tools or attachments to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes for which they were not intended; for example do not use a circular saw for cutting trees or logs.

Do not abuse the cable

Never carry the tool by the cable or pull it to disconnect it from the power socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Do not touch the metal plug pins when connecting or removing the plug.

Do not over-reach

Keep a proper footing and balance at all times.

Disconnect tools from power supply

When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters.

Always switch off and unplug the planer from the power supply before making adjustments or changing belts.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches

Ensure that they are removed from the tool before switching on.

Avoid unintentional starting

Do not carry plugged in tools with your finger on the switch. Check that the switch is off before plugging in to socket.

Extension cables

Use only three core earthed extension cables suitable for the power input of the tool (minimum cable size 1.5mm ² ). Plug into an earthed socket only.

When using a cable reel unwind it fully. Do not use long extension cables. Outdoors use

If the tool is suitable to be used outdoors, only use an extension cable intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly. Use a RCD (residual current device) to provide protection against electrical shock. Do not use in rain or damp conditions.

Connect a dust extraction device

Whenever there are facilities for fitting a dust or fume extraction system, make sure it is connected and used.

Use recommended accessories

The use of an accessory or attachment other than recommended in the instructions or catalogue may present a risk of personal injury. Use an extension cable with a minimum conductor size of 1.5mm ² .

When using a cable reel unwind it fully.

BEFORE USING THE PLANER

The planer is designed to plane wood or wood derived products only.

This machine is designed to be used hand held only. Do not fix to a bench with clamps or vice

BEFORE OPERATING

- Check the voltage on the planer corresponds with your power supply voltage and that the plug and lead are in good condition.

• The planer is only for use on dry surfaces. It is not designed to be used in wet or damp conditions.

Planing painted surfaces

- Be especially careful if you plane older painted surfaces, they may contain harmful lead. Wear personal protection equipment during the job and cleaning up the debris.

- Be aware painted surfaces dull the blade quickly.

- Use cutters designed for the planer only. Install facing the right way

- Ensure you have and wear suitable personal protection equipment during planing and cleaning.

- Route the mains lead away from work area. - Run idle for 30 seconds. If there is any abnormal vibration or other fault, switch off, inspect and rectify before continuing

FITTING THE SHAVING COLLECTOR BAG

Ensure the planer is switched off and unplugged.

Refer to illustrationpage 2.

Shaving/dust collector bag (supplied)

The bag attaches to the opening (A) at the side of the machine.

- Push the bag assembly onto the dust exhaust hole firmly with the lug uppermost.

- During use empty bag frequently, there is a zip at the bottom of the bag for this purpose.

Note: The bag can be removed by pinching the spring clip with your fingers; this allows a shaving/dust extractor (not supplied) to be attached.

FITTING THE PLANER GUIDE

Ensure the planer is switched off and unplugged.

Refer to illustrationpage 2.

- Loosen the guide lock knob on front face of planer. - Slide the guide assembly arm into the hole indicated from the left-hand side of the planer (flat edge facing forwards).

• Tighten lock knob firmly by hand.

Note: If the planer guide is not being used, screw the guide lock knob in tightly to prevent it being lost.

USING THE PLANER

OPERATION

Make sure the switch on the planer is OFF.

Refer to illustrationpage 2.

- Plug into a suitable mains supply. Check the cable is routed well away from moving parts and switch on at plug.

To switch the planer ON

- Press button (E) with your thumb and depress switch (D) with your forefinger.

- Once the planer is running you can release the button (E).

To switch OFF

- Release trigger switch (D).

To adjust the planing depth

- Turn the height control knob (A) to indicate the depth required. The pointer indicates the planing depth in mm on scale (B).

Note: This scale is for indication only, if you require an accurate dimension. Measure the work piece and remove material accordingly.

Tomake a cut

- Place the front edge of the planer on the workpiece (without the blades touching) and switch on.

- Let the machine come to full speed before gently moving the planer forward to start the cut.

- Keep the planer flat on the surface of the workpiece. - When the cut is finished, switch off and let the

machine come to a standstill before unplugging. • Use both hands to control the planer.

- Only use the planer in an upright position, do not plane workpieces from the sides or underside.

DURING USE

- Secure the workpiece in a vice or with clamps. - Let the machine come to full speed before using

- Use gentle pressure. Excessive pressure will overheat the motor and slow the planing action.

- Check for screws/nails etc in the workpiece. - Regularly inspect the blades during use (switch off first) for signs of damage or wear and replace as required.

- Keep the machine moving straight, in line with the grain. This allows the debris to be cleared easily and increases the life of the blades.

- Keep your hands away from the blades

- Keep the ventilation slots clear. Clean dust and debris with soft brush (switch off and unplug first)

- Shavings/dust collection. Always use the shavings bag supplied, it does not provide complete protection from very fine dust, therefore it is strongly recommended that a suitable dust mask should be worn in addition to other personal protection items
