OPERATION STEPS

Unpacking

Carefully unpack the machine. The packaging must be recycled in accordance with local regulations.

WARNING! Turn off the machine and unplug the power cord before cleaning, performing maintenance, and adjustment.

Assembly

Before using the machine, it must be fully assembled according to the requirements.

Evacuation of shavings and wood dust:

The tool is equipped with a dust hood with a vacuum cleaner connection (V). This dust hood is located at the back of the machine for connection to a vacuum cleaner. A flexible hose (not supplied) can be connected to the collector. Some species of wood or processed wood produce sawdust harmful to health.

Please note: Always use the tool connected to a vacuum cleaner.

Install rubber feet (O):

If you do not need to use the foot frame for working, please insert 4 rubber feet into the four holes in the bottom of the machine.

Install depth adjustment handle:

Place the depth adjustment handle (F) on the protruding shaft to the right of the machine's top surface. Push on the handle firmly and lock it with the supplied screw.

Adjust depth of the planer: In order to be able to completely correct and safely operate this machine, the user must know how to adjust it correctly. Very important!!!

Rotate the depth adjustment handle (F) one full circle; the machine depth can be raised or lowered by 1.5 mm.

Before using, plane the wood a few times to ensure the surface of the wood is completely horizontal in later use. Please refer to the correct wood width range to adjust the depth of the one-time planer:

width of wood (mm) cutting depth (mm)
0~100	0~3
160~210	0~2
210~330	0~1

First, the user needs a ruler to measure the thickness of the wood to be planed. Then observe the depth label (H) to adjust the depth label to the thickness required by the user.

For example: if the thickness of the wood is 200 mm and the user wants to plane 2 mm, the depth label pointer should be at 198 mm. In this way, the thickness required by the user can be reached during the one-time working process.

Please note: The distance between the bottom of the machine and the knife shaft is the thickness of the wood when it is planed. The difference between the thickness of the wood when it comes out of the machine and the thickness when it comes in is the thickness of the wood that was shaved off.

1. Width of wood 0-100 mm, we suggest cutting depth adjust 0-3 mm, max 3 mm per time.
2. Width of wood 160-210mm, we suggest cutting depth adjust 0-2mm, Max 2mm per time.
3. Width of wood 210-330mm, we suggest cutting depth adjust 0-1mm, Max 1mm per time.

Warning! The length of the wood must not be less than 153mm. The thickness of the wood must not be less than 10mm.

Operate switch (power ON/OFF)

Plug the power cord into the mains supply. If you are using an extension cord, the cross section of the conductors must be sufficient for the tool's power supply. Avoid inappropriate use of cable, as this can lead to voltage drop and cause power loss and overheating.

Press the button marked "I" to start the machine. Press the button marked "O" to stop the machine.

OPERATION

Coarse PLANING

Coarse planing is used to provide a reference surface for machining.

1. Set a small removal setting for the best surface finish.
2. Process where possible along the grain.

Note: the surface finish is affected by various factors.

1. The wood's hardness, moisture content, fibre structure, etc.
2. Blade sharpness, machining direction, material removal per pass, etc.
3. Perform test machining to find the best setting.

PLANING

Planing involves material removal of the workpiece to the desired thickness, the machining of the surface opposite a coarse planed reference surface.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Turn off the machine and unplug the power cord before cleaning and maintenance. Do not use water or other liquids to clean electrical parts.

CHECK AND REPLACE THE CARBON BRUSH

1. Turn off the machine, unplug the power cord and wait until all moving parts have stopped completely.
2. Dismantle the carbon brush cover (W) as illustrated using a screwdriver.
3. Fit the new carbon brushes. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
4. Replace the carbon brush cover (W).

Overcurrent protective device correct use and replacement (I)

When the load power is too large, the current exceeds the load, so the overcurrent protective device will trip!

1. When the overcurrent protective device trips, first disconnect the power supply of the machine, then press the protective button to reset it.
2. When pressing the protective button to reset it, do not reboot immediately. Wait for the machine temperature to cool down before starting use.
3. If the overcurrent protective device trips frequently, please replace it with a new one.

ADJUST TABLE EXTENSION (J)

Attention: This adjustment is already factory set. To avoid affecting the function of the machine, it needs to be checked again.

1. Raise the engine body to a suitable height for easy assembly.
2. Place a straightedge on the main worktable and use a ruler to measure the level of the table extension (J) and the main worktable.
3. If the table extension (J) is not flush with the main worktable, loosen the nut and turn the screw until the table extension's rollers and the main worktable touch the straightedge. Adjust both the left and right-hand table extensions (J).

ENGINE BODY LEVEL ADJUSTMENT

ATTENTION: This adjustment is already factory set. To avoid affecting the function of the machine, it needs to be checked again. Poor parallelism is usually caused by misaligned blades or a fall in transit causing the body to tilt. Always check that the blade holder and the worktable are parallel before attempting to adjust the parallelism setting.

Lower the engine body to a certain height by rotating the handle. Place two wooden blocks of the same height at the lower end of the body and clamp them tightly.

1. Loosen the two screws on the handle of the right panel using a cross screwdriver. See picture 1. Attention: Only the right panel needs adjusting.
2. Remove the right panel.
3. Use a 24mm open wrench and a 30mm open wrench to adjust the engine body up and down. Position 1 uses the 24mm open wrench, position 2 uses the 30mm open wrench. Clamp the 24mm nut with the 24mm open wrench and do not rotate it. Turn the 30mm open wrench one turn to the left (clockwise) to keep the screw nut loose.
4. Use the 24mm open wrench to adjust the 24mm nut. Rotate clockwise to raise the engine body and counterclockwise to lower it, until the engine body is level with the base.
5. Use the 24mm open wrench to clamp the 24mm nut without rotating it, and use the 30mm open wrench to tighten the 30mm nut.

REPLACING AND ADJUSTING THE BLADES

WARNING! Turn off the machine, unplug the power cord, and wait until all moving parts have stopped completely before replacing or adjusting the blades.

Dismantling the knife blade

1. Use the Allen wrench (N) to remove the dust hood (V) by loosening the screws (U), as shown in the picture below.
2. Use the double open wrench (N) to loosen the blade locking plate (B) and knife blade (C) by turning the outer hexagon bolt (A) clockwise. The knife blades are spring-loaded (D) and can be removed once the blade locking plate is removed.
3. Remove the knife blade and blade locking plate.

Install the knife blade.

1. First, ensure that the pressure springs (D) on the knife shaft are in the 2 fixed holes. Align the hole in the knife blade with the pin in the blade locking plate.
2. Insert the 8 outer hexagon bolts (A) into the fixed holes of the blade locking plate.
3. Insert the knife blade (C), knife locking plate (B), and 8 outer hexagon bolts (A) together into the slot and lock them in position by turning the outer hexagon bolts (A) anticlockwise, but do not fully tighten. Ensure that the blades face the right direction (see picture).
4. Set the height of the knife shaft of the knife blades to 1 mm using the bit gauge (E), with the two support blocks on the left and right sides of the bit gauge pressed against the knife blade. (Loosen, if necessary, the clamping screws to move the blade to the correct position.) When the knife blade is positioned correctly, hold it firmly in place and tighten all outer hexagon bolts (A).

Warning! Check that all 18 screws are tightened. Turn the blade holder by hand to check that it rotates easily and smoothly. Handle the blades with caution to avoid personal injury and/or damage to property.

LUBRICATION:

1. Regularly remove shavings from the depth setting chains, reduction drive, and lifting screws for the blade holder.
2. Remove chips with a cloth and brush, and lightly grease with a clean brush dipped in oil.
3. Never pour oil directly on the components—too much oil means dust will stick and impair lubrication, which in turn shortens component life.
4. The blade holder's bearings are sealed and must not be lubricated.

MAINTENANCE

1. Keep the machine clean and free of dust and chips.
2. Clean reapped materials from the blade holder and tongues and carefully lubricate with a clean brush dipped in oil.
3. Remove resin and the like from the rollers and work table with a non-flammable solvent.
4. Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse the tool in water or any other liquid. Never use detergents or alcohol.
5. Always check that all guards and other components are correctly fitted before use. Guards or other parts that are damaged must be repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre, unless otherwise specified in these instructions.
