Working techniques
Permitted working techniques.
All uses deviating from those described below are considered improper uses
and are therefore not permitted.
• Planing the wide side of a workpiece.
• Planing the narrow side of a workpiece.
• Bevelling the edges of a workpiece.
Prohibited Working Techniques
The following work techniques are prohibited on the machine. This list is not
exhaustive.
• Down-cut jointing (direction of cutter block rotation same as
feed direction).
• Insertion cuts (workpiece is not worked along its entire length).
• Planing of excessively warped timber.
• Thickness planing of multiple workpieces of different thicknesses.
Before first use of the machine check that the fence is at 90º to
the table to ensure accurate results. Use a set square as shown
in Fig. 11.1.
If adjustment is required, loosen the locking nut at the rear of the fence
bracket and adjust the blind set screw, Fig. 11.2. If the fence is less than
90º to the table, turn the screw anti-clockwise until it rests against the roll
pin when the table is at 90º. If the fence is more than 90º to the table, turn
the screw clockwise until it rests against the roll pin when the table is
at 90º.
Before planing, connect a suitable dust or chip extractor to the dust
extraction outlet situated beneath the outfeed table.
Setting the Infeed Table
Open the table lock, Fig 11.3. and turn the adjusting handle until the
desired depth of cut is shown (maximum 3 mm). Re-tighten the table
lock securely.
