Tilting base for smoother planing
004762
For smooth removal of a given surface roughness or
texture, tilting the base is helpful. Use the hex wrench to
loosen the two hex socket head bolts securing the base
on either side.
Use a screwdriver to lower the three screws on the base
by turning screws on the base clockwise.
004763
Use a square or ruler to obtain the desired base angle
in relation to the diamond wheel. Then secure carefully
the hex socket head bolts on either side of the base.
Adjust center of base near wheel so that it is on the
same level as the wheel.

NOTE:
After base adjustment, turn the three screws on
•
the base counterclockwise until the heads are
flush with the back side of the base. Turn gently or
base adjustment will be thrown off.
Base adjustment to compensate for wheel
wear
With long use, the diamond wheel will wear and thus
create a gap with the planing surface so that
performance becomes poor. Check the tool after every
4 or 5 hours of use.
If the wheel and base surfaces are not aligned, loosen
the hex socket head bolts securing the base. Turn the
screws on the base clockwise and adjust the base so as
to be level with the wheel surface. Retighten the bolts
and then gently turn the screws counterclockwise until
flush with the back side of the base. The screws should
not come loose during operation.
Dust cover adjustment

004765
The dust cover should be either flush with the diamond
wheel surface or very slightly above (when tool is
inverted) 0.5 mm. Suction/pickup will be poor if they are
not approximately on the same level.
To adjust the dust cover, grip it on the outside; turn
clockwise to raise, counterclockwise to lower.
