External Vacuuming

The chip ejector 3 fits on both sides for direct connection of the Bosch vacuum hose Ø = 35 mm 21 (accessory). When using other vac- uum hose systems a suitable extraction adapter may be required.

The vacuum cleaner must be suitable for the ma- terial to be worked.

When vacuuming dry dust that is especially detri- mental to health or carcinogenic, use a special vacuum cleaner.

Internal Vacuuming

A sawdust/wood chip bag 22 (accessory) can be used for smaller jobs.

Empty the sawdust/wood chip bag regularly. Re- move the sawdust/wood chip bag, open the zip- per and empty the sawdust/wood chip bag.

Choice of Chip Ejector Side (Right/Left)

The chip ejector 3 can be switched alternatively to the right or left by manually rotating the left ejector pipe. Always rotate the ejector pipe to the respective end position until it latches.

The selected ejector direction is marked with an arrow 6.

Operating Instructions

Blade Protector

The integrated blade protector 31 allows the ma- chine to be set down directly after operation, with- out danger of damaging the working surface or the planer blade.

When planing, the blade protector 31 is tilted up- wards thus enabling full contact of the rear planer shoe 13.

Planing

Set the required planing depth and place the front part of the planer shoe 13 against the workpiece.

Caution! Danger of kickback!

Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on.

Switch the machine on and guide the machine with an even feed over the surface to be planed.

To achieve high-grade surfaces, work only with low feed and apply pressure on the centre of the planer shoe.

When machining hard materials (e. g. hardwood) as well as when utilising the maximum planer width, set only low planing depths and reduce planer feed, as required. Repeat the planing sev- eral times.

Excessive feed reduces the surface quality and can lead to rapid clogging of the chip ejector.

Only sharp blades achieve good cutting capacity and give the machine longer life.
