User manual PARKSIDE KH 3131 POWER PLANER

[. . . ] By doing this you will be able to work in complete safety and produce better results. The electric planer is suitable for planing wood in the form of beams or boards if the workpiece is held securely in a fixed position. Any other use or modification to the belt sander shall be considered as improper use and could give rise to considerable dangers. The manufacturer will not accept liability for loss or damage arising from improper use. [. . . ] PLANING SURFACES Place the planer with the front of the base plate ¾ on the workpiece. Always make sure when you are planing surfaces such as beams and boards that the base plate ¾ is in full contact with the surface to avoid the danger of blade kickback. Always use both hands to guide the plane over the workpiece with even forward pressure. CHAMFERING CORNERS The vee groove ¸ in the centre of the front of the base plate ¾ allows you to chamfer the corners of your workpiece very quickly and easily. Place the planer on to the workpiece with the vee groove ¸ on the corner and then guide the planer along the corner. REBATING Example set up: for right hand rebates the side fence ² goes on the left and the rebating depth stop ¶ goes on the right into the holes on the planer (with the planer viewed from above). WARNING: Before doing any work on the planer always pull out the plug from the mains. IMPORTANT ADVICE: Do not unscrew the two hexagonal socket headed screws. Adjustment is only required if you wish to change to another planer blade type e. When you change blades, always change both blades to avoid any imbalance. When they become blunt, the PARKSIDE reversible blades can be changed without any height adjustment of the cutting block being necessary 1) First unscrew one cutting block ¹ only so that you can use the works-mounted second cutting block as an aid to setting up later. 2) Unscrew the three screws in the cutting block ¹ using the supplied open spanner. 6) Check again for safety: - the position of the planer blade in the cutting block - the balanced and secure seating of the cutting block and the 3 fixing screws - that the height adjustment is correct (2 hexagonal socket headed screws). 7) Planer blades can be obtained from the service address indicated (see guarantee). Unscrew the screws in the cover and take off the toothed belt cover ´. Cut through the toothed belt with side-cutting pliers or a knife and remove the severed toothed belt. Always clean off any dirt or debris from the pulley and the drive wheel before installing the new belt. Place the new toothed belt on to the drive wheel and push the belt over the large pulley wheel whilst turning it. Put the toothed belt cover ´ back in place and fasten with the screws. For the best results do this straight after the work has been completed.
