Thicknesser
Model DGI-63D
MACHINE USE
When using your machine, follow these few simple steps for achie
ving the best results.
1. True Up O
ne Face – Feed one face o
f the board over a jointer, making thin cuts with each pass, until the entire
surface is flat.
2. Plane to
Thickness – Place th
e side you planed in STEP 1 face down and feed the board through the planer.
Plane until this side is flat, then plane both sides of the board until you are satisfied with the thickness. Make thin
cuts, and alternate sides with each pass. If, during the planing operation, you notice the board twisting, warping, or
bowing, repeat STEP 1 and true up one face.
3. When planing long stock, provide table extensions to support the infeed and outfeed end of
the workpiece.
4. Plane with the grain only, and keep planer table clean. Occa
sionally, wa
x the table surface to reduce friction
during the planing operation.
5. Cross-cut to Final Length – Cross-cut lumber to final length.
CAUTION: THE KNIVES ON THE PLANER WILL NOT WEAR EVENLY IF THE WOOD IS FED THROUGH
THE SAME SPOT ON THE TABLE EVERY TIME. FEED THE WOOD THROUGH THE PLANER AT DIFFERENT
SPOTS ON THE TABLE TO HELP ELIMINATE UNEVEN WEAR OF THE KNIVES.

LUBRICATION
Your machine requires lubrication as follows:
1. The four grease fittings, one of which is shown at (A)
Fig. 41, locat
ed at the base of the four table posts are to
be lubri
cated every 100 hours of operation with an
automotive type lithium grease o
r equivalent.
2. As required, lubricate the four table raising and
lowe
ring screws, three of which are shown at (B) Fig.
42, with an automotive type lithium grease or equivalent.
3. The gear box oil should be changed once a year
using extreme pressure g
ear oil, available from INVICTA
The gear box drain plug is shown at (C) Fig. 43. The oil
fill screw is shown at (B) and the oil level indicator is
shown at (A) Fig. 43.
