GRAPHITE 59G678 [15/104] Operation settings

INSTALLATION OF DEEP PLANING GUIDE

Ɣ Place the deep planing guide (12) in the guide (on the right side) in the planer body and secure with the

locking knob for deep planing guide (13) (included) (g. E).

Ɣ Use the scale on the deep planing guide (12) to set planing depth.

PLANING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT

Planer front footplate (6) is movable and it allows for planing depth adjustment.

Planing depth can be adjusted with the knob for planing depth adjustment (1) and the range is 0 – 3 mm,

shown on the planing depth scale (7) located on its circumference (g. F).

OPERATION / SETTINGS

SWITCHING ON / SWITCHING OFF

The mains voltage must match the voltage on the rating plate of the planer. Hold the planer with

both hands when starting up and during operation.

The planer features switch that protects against unintentional starting up.

Switching on:

Ɣ Press the switch lock button (3) (g. G).

Ɣ Press the switch button (2).

Switching o:

Ɣ Release pressure on the switch button (2).

Hold the planer rmly with both hands before switching it on. Switch on the planer only when the

front footplate rests on the material that you plan to process and the planer blades do not touch

material. This position prevents too early contact of blades with material. Start the work only after

the planer reaches its top rotational speed.

When using the planer, try to position planer footplate and surface of processed material in parallel. Guide the

planer with both hands, move it smoothly and continuously on the material surface. Eﬀects of work depend

on speed of planer movement and depth of planing. Coarse processing uses bigger planing depth. During

ﬁne processing it is recommended to set small planing depth and to proceed with work in few runs.

Do not press the planer too hard. Pressure should be moderate and uniform on the whole surface

of contact of foot and processed material. Applying too big pressure causes undesirable drop of

rotational speed, motor overheating, damage of processed material and parts of the planer. Make

periodic breaks in operation.

DEEP PLANING

You can use the deep planing guide and the parallel guide to make hollows in material.

Ɣ Attach the parallel guide (9) and the deep planing guide (12).

Ɣ Set planing width and depth.

Ɣ Process the material (g. H).

PROCESSING CORNERS (CHAMFERING)

V-grooves (18) located on the front footplate (6) (g. I) allow for quick processing (chamfering) of edges

of processed material. Place one of the V-grooves on the edge of processed material and move the planer

forward, make sure to keep the 45

angle (g. J).

PARK REST

Park rest (22) allows to put away the planer safely during operation without the risk of damaging processed

surface or the planer blades. The park rest (22) lifts up when processing and releases the back footplate of

the planer (g. L).
