Festool PM574553 Planer User Manual


 
10
The following basic rule applies for planing
wood: Optimum surface quality will be ob-
tained by pressing on the front planer platen
when starting to plane and on the rear planer
platen (end of workpiece) when continuing or
nishing planing.
If the parking device should be found ob-
structive during special planing work it can
be swung back out of the way and locked in
position (8.2).
Always ensure, that when setting
the machine down on a surface the parking
device is correctly extended (8.1).
Rebating
The planer head is supported by a bearing on
one side only, thus allowing rebates of un-
limited size to be cut with the planer. For this
purpose, the protective cover (9.2) must be
folded away. To do this, press the lever (9.1)
rst forwards and then to the left. This raises
the protective cover over the planer head to
the machine‘s housing, thus exposing the face
of the planer head.
At the end of work the protective cover au-
tomatically returns to its position over the
planer head.
Chamfering
The front planer platen is equipped with a
90° V groove (9.3) to allow the chamfering
of workpiece edges. This V groove is 2 mm
deep, thus producing a 2 mm edge chamfer
with the chip thickness setting 0 mm.
Bench-mounted operation
The planer can be operated bench-mounted in
conjunction with the bench-mounting device
SE-HL and the angle guide WA-HL. Detailed
instructions are supplied with each of these
accessories.
The angle guide can also be tted in place of
the parallel guide, supplied as standard with
the machine, and can be used for hand-guided
operation. The angle guide can be swivelled
to between 0° and 45°.
