Changing Functions

To change functions from sanding to planing follow the

instructions below. The procedure is reversed to change from

sanding to planing.

a) Follow steps a) to f) of the previous section to remove

the sanding assembly

WARNING! Do not touch exposed blades on planing

drum!

b) Using the handling tool provided, remove the planing

drum from its holder in the case

c) Replace the sanding assembly with the planing drum

assembly ensuring that it is introduced onto the shaft

drive slot first and that it is properly seated onto the

drive shaft (Diagram C)

d) Replace the drum locking nut and tighten using the

spanner provided

e) Replace the end cap ensuring it is properly seated

and flush with the side casting. Tighten the Torx

screws using the key provided

Setting the Planing Cutting Depth

The planing depth can be set to anywhere up to a maximum of

2.0mm. For a high quality finish using less effort, make several

shallow passes. Use a lower cutting depth when working with

harder materials.

a) Identify the planing depth scale (See Illustrated

Description of Functions)

b) Turn the depth adjuster knob fully anticlockwise until

the start of the scale lines up with indicator pointer

c) Turn the knob clockwise until the required depth is

achieved

WARNING! Ensure that the planing drum blades have

been set up in accordance with the instructions issued

below before using the product.

Clamping

Ensure work piece is properly supported and cannot move.

Use clamps if required.

Dust Extraction

N.B. For health reasons always use with suitable dust

extraction. The dust bag is only recommended for light use,

and should not be allowed to overfill. A suitable dust extractor

or vacuum should be attached for heavy use.

Always take appropriate precautions to avoid breathing in

dust. A dust bag is provided to avoid excess mess, but may

not provide sufficient filtration to prevent breathing in fine dust.

A dust extractor or vacuum cleaner can be used instead of the

dust bag for improved dust extraction. A suitable dust mask

(such as the one provided) should always be worn in addition,

especially if sanding harmful materials such as MDF or Glass

fibre. Never plane or sand toxic materials such as

asbestos. If in doubt consult the manufacturer of the material

before sanding or planing.

Instructions for Use

a) Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment

(PPE) and ensure you are not wearing any loose

items of clothing or jewellery

b) Hold the tool securely with one hand on the main

handle and the other on the depth knob

c) Always hold the tool a minimum of 15 cm from your

body and plane or sand away from your body

d) Use the worktop stand to rest the tool on when not in

use

e) To start using the tool, either as a planer or sander,

first set to the required depth

f) Place the front plate flat on the work piece. The

planing/ sanding drum and the rear plate should

overhang the rear of the work piece

WARNING! Never start up the tool with the drum in

contact with the work piece!

g) Depress the start button, start lever, and allow the

tool to run up to speed

h) Applying light force push the tool forwards, until the

planing/ sanding drum clears the work piece. It is

important not to force the tool forward as this

seriously affects its lifespan.

i) Practice points a, b, c and d. before plugging in for

the first time

N.B. Better and often quicker results are achieved by

performing several shallow passes, rather than one deep

one. Harder materials require a slower feed speed and a

reduced cutting depth.

N.B. It is advisable to test a spare sample of the material

first. If you are not experienced in the use of this type of

tool, start with very shallow cuts.
