7.4 Changing Direction of Dust Extraction (Fig .3)
The chip extraction can be directed at either side of the tool. To change its direction:
▪ Hold the end of the tube and pull it out.
▪ Insert the tube from another side of the tool and lock the tube firmly into the planning
debris opening.
▪ Turn the dust extraction lever to the front with dust extraction bag mounted on the right
side, turn the dust extraction lever to the rear with the dust extraction bag mounted to the
left.
7.5 Replacing the drive belt: (Fig. 4)
Before undertaking any work on the machine, pull the power plug.
▪ Loosen the three screws and remove the belt cover
▪ First attach the new drive belt of the same size and dimension on the small wheel. Place
the drive belt over the large wheel simultaneously turning the large wheel.
▪ Re-attach the belt cover on the housing and tighten the cover with the screws.
Make sure the belt does not have more than 5mm of slack between the motor shaft and the
drive shaft.
8 OPERATION
8.1 Switching on and off
▪ To switch the tool on, keep the lock-off button (2) depressed and press the on/off switch
(3).
▪ To switch the tool off, release the on/off switch (3).
8.2 Planing
▪ Choose desired cut depth before operation.
▪ It is desirable to select a shallow cutting depth and repeat the cutting process several
times until the desired depth is achieved.
▪ Where possible, clamp the workpiece to the bench.
Note: the tool has an auto-retracting foot (15) on the rear base to prevent the blade from
contacting bench top when the tool is put down. During operation, the foot will automatically
retract as it passes through the edge of workpiece.
8.3 Chamfering
▪ Three "V" grooves are located in the front base which allows you to chamfer the edges of
the workpiece.
▪ Place either "V" groove onto the edge of the workpiece and make a steady stroke.
8.4 Using the “T” Guide
The "T" guide is used for planing along edges and can be mounted to either the left or right
side of the planer.
▪ Slide the "T" guide through its guide slot to desired position and fix it by tightened the
fixing screw.
▪ Make sure the flat surface of “T” guide is kept tight against the edge of the workpiece while
making your cut.
8.5 Rebating
The “L” depth guide is used in conjunction with the “T” guide for rebating applications.
The depth of rebating is determined by the depth of cut and the number of passes made along
the workpiece. The maximum rebate depth is 12.5 mm made in several passes up to 2mm
each time. The Maximum width of rebate cut is 82mm and is determined by the setting of “T”
guide.
▪ Fit the “L” guide and the “T” guide to the planer on opposite sides of the tool.
▪ Adjust the “T” guide according to the required cutting width and tighten the fixing screw.
