Operating instructions Page

for planing, bevelling and rebating of wood, plastic and metall Dear Customer, We are delighted that you have decided to purchase our high quality PEH 900 power planer. Please make sure you familiarise yourself fully with the way the equipment works before you use it for the first time and that you understand how to handle electrical power tools correctly. Please read the operating instructions below and the accompanying safety advice carefully. Use the equipment only as described and for the indicated purposes. By doing this you will be able to work in complete safety and produce better results. We hope you enjoy using your planer.

To be read in conjunction with the advice in the accompanying booklet on safety before using for the first time. The PEH 900 power planer is intended to be used for planing wood (e.g. beams, boards). If the mains cable is damaged or cut through during the work - never touch the cable - pull out the mains plug immediately. Never use electri cal equipment with damaged cables. For operating the planer for longer periods and particularly if dust that may be hazardous to heath is created, the planer should be connected to a suitable external vacuum device. Wear a dust mask. Make sure you only use sharp blades. Always keep the power cable fed to the rear of the machine. Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws.

Only place the planer against the workpiece after switching it on. The base plate must always lay flat on the workpiece when working. Do not clear dust etc. from the dust outlet with your fingers. Use a piece of wood to dislodge any trapped planing debris. OPERATION The PEH 900 power planer has INTELLIGENT POWER CONTROL. This electronic management system monitors and controls your power planer in its various operating states; Operating state Feature Switching On/Off: The IPC electronic system start-up mode ensures that the motor starts up slowly and gently. This large ly avoids heavy transient current surges, and means that electrical safety cut-out devices are not generally tripped (building sites, domestic premises). After switching on, the IPC electronic management system run-up mode takes the planer speed up to the pre-set required value. After this is reached, the IPC system speed control mode keeps the grinder operating at a constant speed. No-load running:

WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains socket before working on the planer.

Take note of the mains voltage. The voltage must agree with that shown on the rating plate (equipment shown as 230 V can also be used with 220 V).

On the grounds of safety the ON / OFF switch cannot be locked in the ON position for continuous operation. It must always be pressed during operation.

SETTING THE PLANING DEPTH

The planing depth can be set between 0 - 3.5 mm. Turn the guide handle/ planing depth adjuster and set the pointer to the desired mark or value.

DUST REMOVAL AND VACUUM EXTRACTION

The dust outlet can simply be switched to the right or left by fitting the cap over the appropriate opening.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Always switch on the planer before making contact with the material and then guide the planer on to the workpiece PLANING SURFACES Place the planer with the front of the base plate on the workpiece. Always make sure when you are planing surfaces such as beams and boards that the base plate is in full contact with the surface to avoid the danger of blade kickback. Always use both hands to guide the plane over the workpiece with even forward pressure. CHAMFERING CORNERS The vee groove in the centre of the front of the base plate allows you to chamfer the corners of your workpiece very quickly and easily. Place the planer on to the workpiece with the vee groove on the corner and then guide the planer along the corner. Make sure you keep the angle at 45° and an even forward pressure. REBATING Example set up: for right hand rebates the side fence goes on the left and the rebating depth stop goes on the right into the holes on the planer (with the planer viewed from above). Set the rebating depth up to a max. 24 mm using the rebating depth stop . Set the side fence to give the required width. Adjust the pla ning depth scale to the maximum of 3.5 mm. Go over the workpiece as many times as is required to obtain the desired rebate.

CHANGING OR REVERSING THE PLANER BLADES

WARNING: Before doing any work on the planer always pull out the plug from the mains.

IMPORTANT ADVICE: Do not unscrew the two hexagonal socket headed screws. They adjust the height of the cutting block. Adjustment is only required if you wish to change to another planer blade type e.g. a profiled blade. HSS reversible blades are fitted as standard at the works. When you change blades, always change both blades to avoid any imbalance. When they become blunt, the PARKSIDE reversible blades can be changed without any height adjustment of the cutting block being necessary

First unscrew one cutting block only so that you can use the works-mounted second cutting block as an aid to setting up later. Unscrew the three screws in the cutting block using the supplied open spanner. Take the cutting block out of the planing roller. Slide the planer blade sideways out of the cutting block. NOTE: The cutting block can also be dismantled, e.g. for cleaning.

5) Re-assembly with a reversed or new blade is done in reverse order.

6) Check again for safety:

- the position of the planer blade in the cutting block - the balanced and secure seating of the cutting block and the 3 fixing screws - that the height adjustment is correct (2 hexagonal socket headed screws).

Unscrew the screws in the cover and take off the toothed belt cover . Cut through the toothed belt with side-cutting pliers or a knife and remove the severed toothed belt. Always clean off any dirt or debris from the pulley and the drive wheel before installing the new belt. Place the new toothed belt on to the drive wheel and push the belt over the large pulley wheel whilst turning it. Put the toothed belt cover back in place and fasten with the screws.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE

Clean the planer regularly. For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed. Do not allow liquids to get inside the planer. Use a soft cloth for cleaning the housing. Do not use petrol, solvents or cleaners that might attack the plastic. Air vents must always be clear and clean.

01. Do not use too much forward pressure. - Too much pressure can considerably reduce performance and increase the wear on the blades. 02. Always use sharp blades and replace blunt blades promptly. - You will get better cutting performance and extended tool life. 03. To obtain smooth planed surfaces we recommend that you use shallow planing depths and plane the surface a number of times. Further practical tips for power tools can be found in the accompanying booklet on safety advice. We reserve the right to make technical modifications in the course of further development.
