SETTING THE UPPER CHASSIS' PLAN
FOUNDATIONS
Re-setting the chassis plan requires a serious inter-
vention in the planer. Ensure that this is necessary.
The planer is set correctly when leaving the factory,
but may have adjusted
due to careless transport or serious impact.
SETTING CUTTERS
1. Loosen the screws to the bearing bracket (4 x
M8 on each side)
2. Add a completely level block on the table, di-
rectly under the cutter.
3. Turn the crank so the cutter is lifted slightly
(make sure the knife does not bite)
4. Lock the screws to the bearing bracket
Setting only the planing table if, for example,
the chain has come loose, or the cutters do not
have enough trimming allowance.
1. Add a completely level block on the table, di-
rectly under the cutter.
2. Crank the planing table so the block is at a
tangent to the cutter
3. Loosen the chain to the planing table via the
chain lock
4. Lift up each threaded sprocket so the cutter is at
a tangent to the block along its entire length.
5. Check the measurement of the front and back
of the table to the stand, adjust the front or
back pair of sprockets
6. Assemble on the chain to the planing table.
7. Before assembly you must check that each
threded rod can be turned by hand.
ADJUSTING THE TOP CUTTER
The top cutter must sit so that it is parallel with the
planer table. This is correctly set in the factory, but
can be adjusted due to careless transport or seri-
ous impact. This is adjusted in the following way, if
necessary:
• Loosen the screws on the bearing housing seve-
ral turns (4 x M8 on each side).
• Add a completely level block on the table, di-
rectly under the cutter.
• Turn the cutter so the block does not press
against the planing knife or the keyway.
• Crank the table up so the block lifts the cutter
slightly.
• Lock the screws to the bearing bracket
PLANING TIPS
1. When you have nished planing a prole that
you know you will be planing again, feed in a
board of approx. 1 m (3 ft) long, then switch
off the planer/moulder when this has been fed
in. Lower the table and remove the board. Next
time the prole needs setting, the board can be
used as a template for both cutters and fences.
Please also note which shims and knives you
used for the test board, as well as the position
of the molding knives in the horizontal cutters.
2. You can experiment with adjusting the pressure
on the feed rollers yourself. Note the basic set-
tings before you start, so you can always return
to them. The springs must normally be tensio-
ned more on the right-hand side, particularly if
small objects are planed. The feed rollers must
be balanced on the object, and not press more
on either side.
3. An increased directional function can be achie-
ved if the rst feed roller is set with a lighter
pressure.
