General instructions for 230V Machines Good Working Practices/ Safety The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order. ! WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN Mains Powered Tools Primary Precautions These tools are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp Plug and 3 core power cable.
General instructions for 230V Machines If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise,consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be a ‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.

Assembly Having unpacked your planer/thicknesser (see below) and its accessories, please dispose of any unwanted packaging properly. The cardboard packaging is biodegradable. Please unpack your new machine and check that all the components against the “What’s in the Box” list.
Assembly Step 5 Tighten the two M4 screws (DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN) Step 6 The NVR switch assembled Fitting the Infeed Table Identify the two capping strips on the infeed side of the machine (see fig 2). These capping strips, and the machined rebates in the castings of the main chassis form the ‘slides’ for the infeed table. Loosen the caphead bolts that secure them, and lift clear. Note.
Assembly Fitting the Infeed Table The table should now be able to move, if it doesn’t, slacken a shade more. (Please note that the adjusting movement is quite stiff, as the table lugs are captured with only a small clearance to allow movement, but maintain rigidity when the machine is used in the overhand mode. Keep the capping strip securing bolts as tight as is practically possible, whilst allowing the table to move).

Illustration and Parts Description Thicknesser feed A moulded cover mounted on the off side of the main chassis, secured drive cover by two domehead nuts. (See Fig 13) Dust extraction hood (See Fig 13) A moulded plastic hood with a 100mm dust extraction port. When fitted in the void over the thicknessing table during the planing operation, it acts as a guard to the underside of the cutter block, the initiator of part of the interlock circuit, as well as collecting the chips and shavings.

Setting Up the Machine NOTE. The top edge of the planer blade should be in line with the top of the outfeed table, and the infeed table when the infeed table is registered at zero cut. The machine is ‘factory’ set, but if you have any doubts, or if, in the course of usage the machine sustains a ‘knock’ et al., and you wish to check the basic parameters, proceed as follows:Checking tables in plane Adjust the infeed table to its highest limit against the register marks, fit the outfeed table.
Operating Instructions (Overhand Planing) Note. There is an electronic braking system on your machine, which works by switching the ‘run’ capacitor. When you stop the machine after it has been running, you will hear a “click, click” sound as the brake activates, and the motor will slow down quite quickly. Please be aware that the effectiveness of the braking action is dependent on the ‘run’ capacitor being fully charged; this takes a finite time after the motor has been started.
Operating Instructions (Overhand Planing) 11. Select an ‘edge’. (The second planing operation). Ensure that, if possible, you are not planing against the grain, and that if the stuff is bent, that the back of the bow is uppermost. 12. If necessary, alter the infeed table setting as required for planing the edge. 13. Set the fence, leaving sufficient exposed width of planer blades for you to machine the edge dimension of the workpiece. Check the fence is ‘right’ (i.e. At right angles to the table). 14.
Operating Instructions (Thicknessing) Additional Note. To carry out the thicknessing operation; the interlocks are set such that you require the dust extraction hood removed from the thicknessing table void and the outfeed table removed, (which allows the chip deflecting hood to be swung up and over the table to act as the cutter block guard as well as the chip deflector). 1.
Changing the Planer Blades ! DISCONNECT THE PLANER FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY Planer blade fixing system The cutter block has two plane iron slots machined into it to take the planer blades and their securing components. The trailing edge of each slot is set at the precise angle required by the blade to plane the material efficiently.
Changing the Planer Blades Changing the Blades Clean the chip breaker of any accumulated resin etc., and clean the plane iron slot thoroughly. If the blade has only been used on the one edge, clean, remove any accumulated resin etc, and refit to the chip breaker with the new edge up. Alternatively fit a new blade. Drop the complete assembly into the plane iron slot and unscrew the bolts until the blade is lightly pinched. Screw each bolt in one flat (of the hexhead bolt).
Running In and Periodic Maintenance After the initial 5-10 hours of operation, remove the Drive belt cover and check the belt tension. A steady push of some 5lb force should produce a deflection of between 1/2”- 3/4”(1220mm) (see fig A). At least once a week, clean either with brush or compressed air, all the debris, dust, etc., etc., on the 4 threaded corner spindles (see fig C) of the thicknessing bed rise and fall mechanism. When they are clean, lubricate with a spray oil (WD40, Duck Oil?).
