Robland XSD310 - Thicknesser Adjustment (Fig. 27)

Thicknesser adjustment (fig. 27)
1. The rise and fall of the thicknesser table can be adjusted with the handwheel (6). One turn of
this handwheel equals 4 mm.
2. After height setting the thicknesser table has to be locked with the lever (7).
3. When, after intensive use of the locking lever (7), it is no longer ossible to lock it, take off the
nut which holds the lever and remove the lever.
Then turn the lever 1/6 turn to the left and put it back on again. Put the nut back on and tigh-
ten it again.
4. The table height cutting depth setting has to be adjusted in such a way that there is always 1
mm minimum clearance between the top of the wood and the connection bar between the two
bearing houses.
5. Always ensure that the anti-kickback protection fingers are kept clean and hang down freely in
position under their own weight.
6. The feeding mechanism can be engaged by unlocking the lever (8) and pulling it up. The feed-
through speed is 7 m/min.
7. In case of overloading of the feeding mechanism the feed rollers must be disengaged immedia-
tely by pushing down lever (8).
Most likely the cutting depth setting is too big. Lower the table 1/2 a turn with the handwheel
and start all over again.
IMPORTANT
A smooth table surface is essential for good operation of the thicknesser. Therefore the table
should be cleaned and rubbed in with normal cheap white paraffin wax regularly.
A roller support should be used when long workpieces have to be machined .
