b) Changing the planer blade
Use the allen key (4.1) to loosen the three allen bolts (4.5) in
the planer head until the planer blade can be removed.
Before the new blade is fitted the cutter slot must be cleaned.
This ensures that the cutter is automatically correctly adjusted
after fitting.
Push the new planer blade (4.4) into the groove in the tool
carrier with the labelled side facing towards the rear planer
platen. Before you retighten the clamping screws use a ruler
(4.2) to align the blade in such a way that its face lies flush
with the front and rear planer platen (4.3). Finally tighten
first the centre clamping screw and then two outer clamping
screws.
Fitting the guides
The scope of delivery of the planer includes a rebating depth
guide and a parallel guide.
a) Rebating depth guide
The rebating depth guide (5.1) is mounted in the threaded
hole (5.2) on the front right of the machine. The stop can be
infinitely adjusted to between 0 mm and 30 mm in accordance
with the scale. The rebating depth which has been set can be
read against the notch (5.3) in the housing.
b) Parallel guide
The parallel guide (6.1) is fitted in the threaded hole (6.2)
next to the rear planer platen .
This same point can be used to mount the swivelling angle
guide WA-HL, available as an accessory.
Dust extraction and chip ejection
The planer is equipped as standard with a connection for chip
and dust extraction. The shift lever (7.2) can be used to select
chip ejection (7.1) via the left- hand or right-hand ejector
aperture. Both these ejector apertures allow the fitting of
either a chip collection bag SB-HL or a Festool 36 mm dia.
suction hose.
The chip collection bag SB-HL is connected by means of an
adapter (7.5). The adapter (included in the scope of delivery
of the SB-HL) is fitted by inserting its lug (7.6) into the lower
edge of the chip ejector and is secured by means of the screw
(7.4) in the threaded hole (7.3). The 36 mm dia. suction
hose can be fitted either by clamping it directly into the chip
ejector aperture or by inserting it into the adapter in the SB-
HL.
If used with materials which produce hazardous
dusts the electric tool should be connected to a suitable
extractor.
Working with the machine
The surface to be planed must be free of metallic
objects. Never plane over screws, nails, etc.
When using the rustic planer heads work with
setting 0 mm since the rustic cutters automatically project
1.5 mm beyond the planer platen.
The planer is equipped with two handles to enable it to be
guided precisely. Place the front platen onto the workpiece
but do not allow the planer head to come into contact with
the wood. Switch on the planer and bring it into contact with
the workpiece by pressing lightly on the supplementary handle
(1.7).
