General Instructions for 230V Machines Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material. Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in work areas. It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable.
Specific Precautions Using Planer Thicknessers pressure on the ‘front’ of the material i.e., that portion of the stuff that has passed over the block, but use a push stick or a pusher shoe to clear the end of the stuff over the block. foul any stuff being passed through the machine. Check the height of the thicknessing table. Engage the autofeed mechanism. Thicknessing When thicknessing, remove the fence. Lower the thicknessing table slightly.
Initial Assembly and Setting Up Your machine comes enclosed in a packing case with the accessories packed on top of the tables.Having removed the top and the sides of the packing case, remove all the components from the top of the machine; put to one side. Ascertain the orientation of the machine and move it to its desired position in the workshop.

Changing the Planer Blades MAKE SURE THAT THE MACHINE IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY! Overview The planer blades are mounted into 3 slot housings machined in the cutter block.The slot housing comprises of a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse tapered slot alongside it. (See fig. 14) The depth of the first slot governs the seating of the chipbreaker/ wedge, the second slot allows the blade to be set to its correct depth in the block.
Changing the Planing Blades Changing the Blades Locate the 5.5mm x 7mm A/F spanner in the tool kit. Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is uppermost, (between the tables). Using the spanner drive the 5 No. bolts into the chipbreaker/wedge, thus removing the clamping effect. This should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up (not like a jack in a box!) to protrude clear of the edge of the cutter block. Carefully remove the blade, lay aside.
