MOLDING KNIFE IN BOTTOM AND TOP CUTTERS
Before you open the safety doors on the
planer, ensure that the power is switched
off and that the cutters are not rotating. Use
protective gloves, particularly when you need
to loosen screws that are tightly fastened, or
when you are tightening screws (see safety
instructions). Beware of the planer knives. It is
extremely easy to cut yourself on these, even
with the slightest touch.
Molding knives can be assembled in both the top
and bottom cutters. Molding knives must always be
mounted in pairs – opposite each other. A certain
sideways offset of the knife, can however be accep-
ted, as long as the cutter remains balanced.
WARNING! Unbalance in the cutter creates
vibrations that can damage the planer and
cause personal injury.
Molding knives must always be mounted in
pairs, so that the cutter remains balanced.
After assembling the planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the
planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4-5?
ASSEMBLY
The top and bottom cutter heads have four too-
ling slots each. As mentioned above, the planer is
delivered with two planing knives assembled in two
of the tooling slots. In the other two tooling slots,
molding knives of different sizes and proles can be
assembled.
On the front edge of the planer/moulder, there
is a limiting cover that limits the top cutter's
maximum cut when turned. This must be used
when molding knives are mounted in the top
cutter (196).
• To insert knives into the top or bottom cutter
heads, a gib/moulding knife clamp must be
used to hold the knife in the head. Warning:
Do not use any other device to hold moulding
knives in these heads!
• Assemble the Gib (D) and molding knife (E) as
shown. Note: The holes in the bottom of the
knife should t securely on the pins on the gib.
• Lower the gib and molding knife to the side of
the cutter where the tooling slots are extended.
• Insert the knife and gib into the groove. Mea-
sure the position using the groove in the cutter,
and x by tightening the screw (F) tightly on the
back of the gib. (Turning the screw in the Gib as
if to loosen it will tighten the Gib into the head.)
The lock screw must not be placed over the
area where the tooling slots are extended.
• Measure the position of the knife laterally and
assemble an identical knife in exactly the same
position on the cutter's opposite side.
