GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY

WARNINGS

WARNING! Read all safety warnings,

instructions, illustrations and specications

provided with this power tool. Failure to follow all

instructions listed below may result in electric shock,

re and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future

reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to

your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-

operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or

dark areas invite accidents.

b) Do not operate power tools in explosive

atmospheres, such as in the presence of

ammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools

create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.

c) Keep children and bystanders away while

operating a power tool. Distractions can cause

you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never

modify the plug in any way. Do not use any

adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power

tools. Unmodied plugs and matching outlets will

reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded

surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges and

refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet

conditions. Water entering a power tool will

increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for

carrying, pulling or unplugging the power tool.

Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges

or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an

extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of

a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is

unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk

of electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use

common sense when operating a power tool. Do

not use a power tool while you are tired or under

the inuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating power tools

may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always

wear eye protection. Protective equipment such

as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or

hearing protection used for appropriate conditions

will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the

switch is in the off-position before connecting to

power source and/or battery pack, picking up or

carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your

nger on the switch or energising power tools that

have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before

turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left

attached to a rotating part of the power tool may

result in personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and

balance at all times. This enables better control

of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewellery. Keep your hair and clothing away from

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long

hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of

dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure

these are connected and properly used. Use of

dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use

of tools allow you to become complacent and

ignore tool safety principles. A careless action

can cause severe injury within a fraction of a

second.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct

power tool for your application. The correct

power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not

turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be

controlled with the switch is dangerous and must

be repaired.

650W PLANER EN

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/

or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from

the power tool before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing power tools.

Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk

of starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of

children and do not allow persons unfamiliar

with the power tool or these instructions

to operate the power tool. Power tools are

dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check

for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition

that may affect the power tool’s operation. If

damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.

Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly

maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges

are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits

etc. in accordance with these instructions,

taking into account the working conditions and

the work to be performed. Use of the power tool

for operations different from those intended could

result in a hazardous situation.

h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean

and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles

and grasping surfaces do not allow for safe

handling and control of the tool in unexpected

situations.

5) SERVICE

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualied

repair person using only identical replacement

parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained.

PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS

1. Wear ear protectors when using the planer.

Exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.

2. Use auxiliary handle(s), if supplied with the tool.

Loss of control can cause personal injury.

3. Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,

when performing an operation where the cutting

accessory may contact hidden wiring. Cutting

accessory contacting a “live” wire may make

exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and

could give the operator an electric shock.

4. Always use both hands on the tool for any

operation. It assures to maintain control and

avoid the risk of serious personal injury. The

workpiece must always be properly supported

and clamped so that both hands will be free to

control the planer.

5. Always check the workpiece before operation and

remove any obstructions such as nails, staples,

screws, string, rags, cloths and other debris.

6. Do not lay the planer down until the blade has

come to a complete stop.

7. Do not use worn or blunt planer blades. This may

result in motor overload and substandard work.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

NOTE: Before using the tool, read the instruction

book carefully.

INTENDED USE

The machine is intended for planing of rmly supported

wooden materials, such as beams and boards. It is also

suitable for beveling edges and rebating.

1. SAFETY ON/OFF SWITCH (SEE FIG. A)

The switch is locked off to prevent accidental starting.

Depress the lock off button then the on/off switch and

release the lock off button. The machine is working now.

To switch off, just release the on/off switch.

WARNING: Danger of kickback! Apply the machine

to the work piece only when switched on.

2. CUTTING DEPTH ADJUSTMENT (SEE FIG. B)

The planing depth can be adjusted from 0 to 2mm. Rotate

the cutting depth adjustment knob (13) to set the required

cutting depth with the scale (12). The clockwise rotation

increases the planing depth; the anticlockwise rotation

reduces the planing depth. Always work from a rough cut

to a nish cut.

It is recommended that test cuts be made in scrap wood

after each adjustment to make sure that desired amount

of wood is being removed by your planer.

NOTE:

To protect blades during storage, transporting, etc,

set blade depth adjustment knob to 0.

3. STANDARD SURFACE PLANING (SEE FIG. C)

Set the desired cutting depth. Position the front part of

the base plate at onto the work surface. Make sure that

the blades are not touching the workpiece. Switch the

machine on and push your planer forward and it will start

cutting. Always maintain all of the base plate at on the

work surface to prevent the cutting blade jumping. Move

the planer evenly over the work surface.

Be careful to avoid hitting nails during operation. It

could nick, crack, or damage blades. We suggest that

you always keep an extra set of blades on hand for

replacement.

4. EDGE CHAMFERING (SEE FIG. D, E)

Using the V-groove (8) in the base plate you can make a

chamfer on the work piece edge. Guide the planer along

the edge and maintain a constant angle and force to

produce a good nish. Make a test chamfer on a scrap

piece of wood. Maintain downward pressure to keep

your planer at at the beginning and the end of the work

surface.

5. USING THE PARALLEL GUIDE (SEE FIG. F)

Insert the screw provided through the hole on the support

of parallel guide (7). Turn the screw into the nut on the

housing. Fix the parallel guide on the support of parallel

guide with the screw and nut. Ensure the screws are

tightened securely.

NOTE:

The parallel guide should be tted on the left of

housing.

To adjust the required width of cut, loosen the nut and

slide the parallel guide to the required position. Retighten

the nut fully.

Use the parallel guide while cutting. The guide should be

held rmly against the edge of the workpiece.

6. USING THE REBATE (SEE FIG. G)

Insert the screw (11) provided through the slot on the

rebate guide. Turn the screw into the nut on the housing.

The cut depth adjustment can be set from 0 to 10mm.

To adjust the depth of cut, place the planer on a at board,

then loosen the screw and slide the cut depth adjustment

guide up and down for required depth. Tighten the thumb

screw fully.

7. REBATING (SEE FIG. H)

The width of rebating cut (a) is adjustable by moving

the parallel guide (7). The depth of rebating cut (b) is

determined by moving the rebate guide, and the number

of passes made along the workpiece. Make sure that the

plane is guided with a lateral supporting pressure.

650W PLANER EN

8. USING THE DUST BAG (SEE FIG. I)

Your planer is equipped with a dust bag for collection of

wood chips in the work area.

Make sure the zipper on the bag is fully closed. To t

the dust bag, simply insert the tube end of the bag into

the dust extraction outlet. There are two dust extraction

outlets on opposite sides, and the dust bag can be

inserted into either one, with the other coverd by the dust

extraction cover. Then switch on and start planing.

CLEANING DUST EXHAUST OUTLET AND EMPTYING THE

DUST BAG

After using your planer for an extended period of time or

when planing wet green timber, chips may build-up in the

dust exhaust outlet and require clearing. Chip build-up

restricts air ow and causes the motor to overheat. Turn

off the planer and remove the dust bag from the dust

exhaust outlet. Clean the chip and dust exhaust outlet of

your planer with a small piece of wood. Do not use your

hands or ngers. Unzip the dust bag and empty all chips

from it. Ensure collar is free from debris.

We recommend emptying the dust bag every 3-6

minutes.

9. BLADE FITTING AND CHANGING (SEE FIG. J, K, L, M)

NOTE:

Dull and worn blade cannot be reground and must be

replaced. Always replace blades in pairs.

WARNING:

Remove power cord from the socket

before carrying out any adjustments or changing

blades. Always put on gloves when replacing blades.

Using the blade spanner provided to loosen the three

installation screws approximately 1 or 2 rotation

anticlockwise.

NOTE:

Do not over-loosen the screws. If the screws are too

loose, the alignment of the new blade will not be accurate.

Before removing the old blades, take notice of the

direction of cut as well as how the tapered edge of the old

blades are oriented. The tapered edge of the new blades

must be in the same orientation as the original blades.

Press the safety cover down with your nger. Push the

blade out with the tip of a spanner (or a screwdriver) and

then remove.

NOTE:

There is no need to remove the blade clamp as this will

change the factory settings for cutting blade height control.

NOTE:

If a blade cannot be pushed out easily after loosening

the screws, use a piece of wood to break the blade loose from

the blade clamp, with a short sharp blow. Then push with a

screwdriver to remove the blades. If necessary, tap the piece

of wood sharply with a small hammer to break the blades

loose.

Before reinserting a new or reverse blade, always clean

both the blade and the blade seat if dirty. Slide the blade

into the clamp with a spanner (or a screwdriver) in the

correct orientation. Check the blade is equal with the

clamp. Retighten the three blade screws with the spanner.

Repeat the above procedure to change the other blade.

After the blades are replaced, check if the blades are

parallel and in the same surface as the rear base plate

with a ruler. If not, you can adjust the blades with the

hexagonal wrench provided. Firstly loosen the three

screws on the blade clamp. Turn the socket head screw

clockwise, the blade will be risen. Turn it anticlockwise,

the blade will be lowered down. Finally retighten the three

screws fully.

10. REPLACING A DRIVE BELT (SEE FIG. N, O)

WARNING:

1. Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out

any adjustment, servicing or maintenance.

2. The cutting blades will be turning and may cause injury.

3. Always put on gloves when operation.

Loosen the screws and remove the belt cover. Remove

the worn drive belt from the large pulley and the pinion

and clean them. Lace the new belt on the top of the pinion

and turn it manually, press it on the large pulley. Make

sure that the drive belt runs exactly along the length

grooves of the pinion and the pulley. Replace the belt

cover. Install the cover screw and tighten fully.

11. CORRECT PLANER BLADE SETTING (SEE FIG. P)

Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven,

unless the blade is set properly and securely.

The blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge

is absolutely level, that is, parallel to the surface of the

rear base. Fig. P shows some examples of proper and

improper settings.

(A) Front base (Moveable shoe)

(B) Rear base (Stationary shoe)

1) Correct setting

Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the

blade run perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.

2) Nicks in surface

Cause: one or both blades fails to have edge parallel to

rear base line.

3) Gouging at start

Cause: one or both blade edges fails to protrude enough

in relation to rear base line.

4) Gouging at end

650W PLANER EN

Cause: one or both blade edges protrude too far in

relation to rear base line.

MAINTENANCE

Remove the plug from the power source before

carrying out any adjustments, servicing or

maintenance.

Your tool requires no additional lubrication or

maintenance.

There are no user serviceable parts in your power

tool. Never use water or chemical cleaners to clean

your power tool. Wipe clean with a dry cloth. Always

store your power tool in a dry place. Keep the motor

ventilation slots clean. Keep all working controls free

of dust. Occasionally you may see sparks through the

ventilation slots. This is normal and will not damage

your power tool.
