Then follow the steps for installing the blades and pressure bars in the cutter head. The depth stop (11) is to be used for setting the depth of the rabbet from 0" to 7/8" deep. By loosening the thumbscrew, move the stop to the desired depth then tighten it. To make the rabbet, rest the depth stop on top of the work surface to be rabbeted with the planer flush against the work surface. Turn the planer on and push it across the work surface at a smooth and steady speed. Cleaning Planer Shoe Resin buildup on the work surface of the planer shoe can be removed with mineral spirits or other similar clean- ing agent. Do not use acids or metal scrapers which could damage the shoe by causing scratches which might scratch the surface of material to be planed. Maintenance Your planer must be given proper maintenance in order to ensure effi- cient performance and long life. In general, all maintenance should be performed by an Authorized Metabo Service Center.

Warning: Before performing any

maintenance work, disconnect tool from power source. To prevent dust from settling inside tool, the motor should be cleaned occasionally by using compressed air blown into the tool through the air vent slots in the motor housing. Carbon Brushes The Planer has auto-stop carbon brushes. When the brushes are worn down, the automatic tripping device of the brushes breaks the circuit and the motor stops running. At this time, we recommend bringing the tool to one of our Service Stations for clean- ing, brush replacement, inspection and preventive maintenance if necessary. Servicing After approximately 300 working hours, your Planer should be thoroughly cleaned and inspected. This work should be done only by skilled personnel, i.e. an Authorized Metabo Corporation Service Center. Metabo Corporation reserves the right to reject under the warranty program, any tool repaired or remod- eled by the user or unauthorized service stations. When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. WARNINGMetabo reserves the right to reject under thewarranty program any tool repaired or alteredby the user or an unauthorized service station.

The pressure bars are factory adjust- ed for the cutter blade height. No fur- ther adjustment of height should be necessary. However, two adjusting screws are provided in the pressure bars for blade height adjusting if the need should arise. Chip ejection By rocking the flap in the chip outlet (6) it is possible to change the direc- tion in which shavings and chips are ejected. Looking in the direction in which the planer moves, press down the lefthand side of the flap for the chips to be ejected to the right (and vice versa). Planing operation Arrange the power cord to the planer so that it will not get in the way while you are planing and so that it cannot, under any circumstances, touch the cutter head while it is spinning. Switch on the motor before you bring the planer up to the workpiece. Make sure that the cutter blades are free to rotate (otherwise there is a danger of the planer kicking back). The cutter head guard (12) moves automatically upwards on contact with the work. Fig. 5 When the planer is slid forward on the surface to be planed, the spacer rest (9) is automatically pushed back it strikes the edge of the work. The best finish is obtained by moving the planer forwards slowly and evenly. This is also the best way of treating the cutter blades and prevents accidents from occurring. To take off the final shaving, the planer should be set to a small depth of cut. When planing plastics, the planing depth must not be more than 1/16 inch. The vee-groove (1) in the front part of the planer shoe is designed for chamfering. Use the planing guide (7) for trim- ming the edges of boards and for similar jobs. The guide can be set to the desired distance from the edge of the work after loosening the thumb- screw (8). Be sure to move the edge guide across the shoe to expose only that portion of the blade needed for the planing operation. The carbide cutter blades permet use of the planer for dressing the edges of chipboard and blockboard and for planing end grain. Once you have finished the planing work, switch off the motor. The spacer rest (9) makes it possible for the planer to be put down without one of the cutter blades touching the surface on which the tool is resting. Do not slide the planer forward on the surface when it is put down on the rest. Rabbeting For rabbeting, the width of cut can be adjusted by following the steps for removing the blades: pushing the blades out of the pressure bars to the desired width of cut (1/8" maxi- mum). Make sure both blades extend from the pressure bar the exact same -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:37 Uhr Seite 87 Planer blades The planer is equipped with carbide blades. This permits use of the tool for planing cross-cut wood and both plain and laminated chipboard. The Ho 0882 is equipped with rever- sible carbide blades which are not designed to be resharpened. When the cutting edges become dull, the blades can be reversed so that the second cutting edges can be used. The blades must be replaced when both cutting edges become dull. Dull blades not only make the planer work harder and do a less present- able job, but also can cause the planer to kick back at the operator. Therefore, it is essential that dull blades be replaced as quickly as possible. To remove the planer blades, loosen the clamping screws in the cutter head using the Allen key supplied. It is not necessary to remove the clamping screws. Loosen the outer clamping screws approximately one revolution and the center clamping screw three revolutions (fig. 2). Fig. 2 Press down the retractable guard on the side of the machine and slide out the pressure bar and blade (fig. 3). Fig. 3 Afterwards, the planer blade can be pushed out of the pressure bar with a piece of wood (fig. 4). Fig. 4 Clean the blades and the grooves in the pressure bars before putting the blades back in the pressure bars to insure proper fit. Important: When installing the pres- sure bars with blades into the cutter head, make sure the blades are resting in the groove on the side furthest from the clamping screws. Also, the pressure bar faces must be flush with the face of the cutter head. Incorrect installation could be damag- ing to the planer and dangerous to the operator. -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:37 Uhr Seite 76 Metabo Planer Model: Ho 0882 Specifications Max. width of cut 3

Fig. 1 For continuous operation, the trigger can be locked in the »on« position by pressing the locking button (5) after depressing the trigger. Depress the trigger again to release the trigger.

Warning: Make sure that the tool is

disconnected from the power supply before servicing, setting-up, or con- verting. Setting the planing depth Planing depths from 0" to 5/64" can be set easily by turning the knob (2). To set the depth of cut, begin with the pointer on the knob resting on the zero mark on the scale. Rotate knob clockwise to a point just beyond the desired setting, then turn knob back to the desired setting. By continuing to turn the knob beyond the markings on the scale, it is possible to set for an even greater depth of cut up to 1/8". However, at this depth, there is a risk of the planer being overloaded (e.g., when planing hard wood), and because of this, these settings should only be used for narrow workpieces (up to approxi- mately 1

/8" wide). Preparation of material Inspect all work material to be planed before beginning work. Especially in the case of used wood, nails or other foreign material may be imbedded in the wood which could damage the planer blades. Be sure to remove any such foreign material before attempting to plane workpiece.

Ampere Rating Range -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:36 Uhr Seite 54 Voltage warning Before connecting the tool to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage hig- her than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user as well as damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source with a voltage lower than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Double insulation Your Metabo Planer has the double insulation system. Wherever there is electric current in the tool, the user is protected against electrical shock by two separate sets of insulation. The double insulation system offers pro- tection equal to properly grounded tools without the need of a grounding connector. The tool is equipped with a two-wire cord and a two-prong plug which can be used on standard 120 Volt outlets. No grounding of the tool is necessary. Important: Servicing a double insu- lated tool requires much care and knowledge, and should only be per- formed by a qualified service tech- nician. For service return the tool to the authorized Metabo service station nearest you or directly to Metabo Corporation. Use only original factory replacement parts when servicing. Extension cords Use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current your tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible motor damage from overheating. The follow- ing table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gage. NOTE: The smaller the gage number, the heavier the cord. Repair or replace damaged cords. For purchase of extension cords, see your distributor. Save these Instructions -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:36 Uhr Seite 43 Maintain Tools With Care Keep tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords periodically and if damaged, have repaired by authorized service facility. Inspect extension cords period- ically and replace if damaged. Keep handles dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Disconnect Tools When not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories, such as blades, bits, cutters. Remove Adjusting Keys and Wrenches Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on. Avoid Unintentional Starting Dont’t carry plugged-in tool with finger on switch. Be sure switch is off when plugging in. Outdoor Use Extension Cords When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended for use outdoors and so marked. Stay Alert Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired. Check Damaged Parts Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any other condition that may affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by an author- ized service center unless other- wise indicated elsewhere in this instruction manual. Have defective switches replaced by authorized service center. Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on and off. Replacement Parts When servicing use only identical replacement parts. Safe These Instructions -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:36 Uhr Seite 32 Before connecting your tool to a power source be sure you have read all safety rules and understand all instructions in this manual for safe operation of the tool. General Power Tool Safety Rules

WARNING: When using electric tools,

basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following: Read All Instructions Keep Work Area Clean Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries. Consider Work Area Environment Don’t expose power tools to rain. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations. Keep work area well lit. Do not use tool in presence of flammable liquids or gases. Guard Against Electric Shock Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces. For example: pipes, radiators, ranges, refrigera- tor enclosures. Never attach metal tags to the tool. It compromises the double insulation and can create a shock hazard. Use stick on labels. Keep Children Away Do not let visitors contact tool or extension cord. All visitors should be kept away from work area. Store Idle Tools When not in use, tools should be stored in dry, and high or locked- up place – out of reach of children. Don’t Force Tool It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was intended. Use Right Tool Don’t force small tool or attach- ment to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Don’t use tool for purpose not intended – for example – don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs. Dress Properly Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. They can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-skid footwear are recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair. Use Safety Glasses Also use face or dust mask if cut- ting operation is dusty. Don’t Abuse Cord Never carry tool by cord or yank it to disconnect from receptacle. Keep cord from heat, oil, and sharp edges. Secure Work Use clamps or a vise to hold work. It’s safer than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool. Never clamp the tool in a vise. You can damage the motor. Don’t Overreach Keep proper footing and balance at all times. -Ho 0882, ENG_0201 27.08.1956 15:36 Uhr Seite 2170 24 6780 - 0201 Made in Germany Instructions for Use Ho 0882
