• To run the tool, press the on/off switch (1).
As soon as the on/off switch is released the
lock-off switch is automatically activated to

Do not switch the tool on or off when the
cutters touch the workpiece or other
materials.
Planing (fig. A)
• Switch the tool on.
• Slowly move the tool over the workpiece.
The feed speed should not be too high,
especially when using the maximum
depth of cut and planing width.
Remember that several shallow cuts are
better than one deep cut.
• Always switch off the tool when work is finished
and before unplugging.
• The tool is equipped with a parking shoe (6).
After switching off the tool can be put down
without waiting for the cutters to come to a
standstill.
Rebating
• Fit and adjust the parallel fence.
• Fit and adjust the rebating depth stop.
• Proceed as for planing.
Chamfering edges
The V-grooves in the nose piece of the shoe enable
you to chamfer edges.

turning it counter-clockwise.

container.

ended slots (26) with the notches (25) and fitting
the deflector onto the bag.
