Abstract

An electric hand plane has a wedge-shaped body having a lower wedge surface adapted to rest on a workpiece and an upper wedge surface, a plane housing supported on the upper wedge surface of the wedge-shaped body and having a counter-surface, a device for producing a clamping force between the upper wedge surface of the wedge-shaped body and the counter-surface of the housing, and a single handle operative for cancelling the clamping force during an adjustment and also for displacement of the wedge-shaped body, and a gear mechanism means arranged so that the handle displaces the wedge-shaped body relative to the plane housing via the gear mechanism means by rotation.
