- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
This also applies to dust from other materials such
as some timber types (like oak or beech dust),
metals, asbestos. Other known diseases are e.g.
allergic reactions, respiratory diseases. Do not let
dust enter the body.
Observe the relevant guidelines and national
regulations for your material, staff, application and
place of application (e.g. occupational health and
safety regulations, disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits,
- use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers,
- ensure good ventilation of the workplace and keep
clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping or
blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash the protective clothing. Do not
blow, beat or brush.

6. Initial Operation
6.1 Battery pack
Charge the battery pack (8) before use.
Recharge the battery pack if performance
diminishes.
The ideal storage temperature is between 10°C and
30°C.
"Li-Power, LiHD" lithium ion battery packs have a
capacity and signal indicator (9):
- Press the button (10), the LEDs indicate the
charge level.
- The battery pack is almost flat and must be
recharged if one LED is flashing.
Removing and inserting the battery pack
Remove: Press the battery pack release button (7)
and remove battery pack (8) .
To insert: Slide the battery pack (8) in until it
engages.
6.2 Dust/chip extraction
Third-party extraction units
Connect a suitable extraction device to the ejection
nozzle (14).
For optimal dust extraction, use the connecting
sleeve 6.30796.
Own extraction system
Fit dust / chip collection bag (16) to the ejection
nozzle (14) . Empty the dust / chip collection bag
(16) in good time to optimise dust extraction.
Chip ejection
If you work without extraction device or without dust/
chip collection bag: (16) Fit chip ejection adapter
(17) and tun into the desired position.
7. Use
7.1 Setting the planing depth
By turning the knob handle (2) the planing depth
can be set steplessly.
Read the set planing depth on the scale (3).
Set the planing depth only in the range of 0 -
2.0 mm.
7.2 Switching on and off
Switching on: Press and hold in the locking button
(4) , then actuate the trigger (5) .
Switching off: Release the trigger switch (5).
7.3 Working Directions
General notes
For coarse work set a large planing depth and push
the machine forward with a suitable, reduced feed
