Clean the new knife carefully.
Insert the new knife by screwing five screws (4) so that its extension above the surface of
cutterblock in max 1.1mm.
The manufacturer recommends the height of extension from 0.7 to 0.8mm.
Then tighten the pressing off wedge with five screws.
After all the above-mentioned steps are finished make sure to check whether all the five screws
are in proper place and fix all protective covers and then try to start the machine by pushing the
switch “ON” button.
WARNING! Do not use knives with width under 17mm.
Its fixing area is too small.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the mains before any maintenance or repairs are
carried out. Switch the machine off and lock up the main switch.
Lubrication
The machine is lubricated at the factory.
The electric motor is basically maintenance-free (sealed bearings).
The Planer/Thicknesser shafts are journalized in maintenance-free sealed bearings.
The machine should be cleaned once a week or after intensive use.
The wood feed rollers for thicknessing tend to become fouled when working with resinous
woods or poplar. These and the bearing housings should be kept clean.
Table surface should be sprayed periodically with a slip enhancing or gliding product, such as
Sliber-gleit or Molycote, to enhance sliding of workpieces.
The cylindrical thicknesser bed guide and the elevating rack should be cleaned and coated with
a slip enhancing product.
We advise against using too greasy products which tend to amalgamate with wood dust and
harden movements.
Surface planer tables
A 1 meter steel rule is required to adjust the tables.
Slightly loosen the fixing screws of the table which is out of adjustment. Tap slightly on the top or
bottom of the table to obtain the correct transverse and longitudinal position, in relation to the
shaft.
The possibility of adjustment is determined by the set of screw holes in the chassis (the table
remains stable after each adjustment to check the geometric position in relation to the other
table with the ruler.
Make sure that the gap between the tables and shaft is equal at both ends.
Tighten firmly after adjustment.
