UNPACKING AND CHECKING CONTENTS Your Baileigh machine is shipped complete. Separate all parts from the packing material and check each item carefully. Make certain all items are accounted for before discarding any packing material. WARNING: SUFFOCATION HAZARD! Immediately discard any plastic bags and packing materials to eliminate choking and suffocation hazards to children and animals.
TRANSPORTING AND LIFTING IMPORTANT: Lifting and carrying operations should be carried out by skilled workers, such as a truck operator, crane operator, etc. If a crane is used to lift the machine, attach the lifting chain carefully, making sure the machine is well balanced. Follow these guidelines when lifting with truck or trolley: •...

• Have the work area well illuminated with proper lighting. • Keep the floor free of oil and make sure it is not slippery. • Remove scrap and waste materials regularly, and make sure the work area is free from obstructing objects.
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR MACHINE DUST-COLLECTING This machine is equipped with a dust collection hood with one port. The dust collector is optional and sold separately. Before the machine is used, make sure the dust collector work as designed. The minimum required air speed at the end of flexible tube is 20 m/sec. The minimum required air volume of the machine is 750 m³/hr.
ELECTRICAL CAUTION: HAVE ELECTRICAL UTILITIES CONNECTED TO MACHINE BY A CERTIFIED ELECTRICIAN! Check if the available power supply is the same as listed on the machine nameplate. WARNING: Make sure the grounding wire (green) is properly connected to avoid electric shock. DO NOT switch the position of the green grounding wire if any electrical plug wires are switched during hookup.
• Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
OPERATING SETUP WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Cutterhead knives are dangerously sharp. Use extreme caution when working around them.
IMPORTANT: The table is heavy. Use care and if needed an assistant when raising the table. 7. When raised, the table should be in the vertical position as shown in C, Fig. 3. 8. The latch (E, Fig. 3) should be engaged, preventing the table from an accidental forward fall. 9.
Power 1. Once a properly rated plug is connected, plug power cord into outlet. Press the green on button (A, Fig. 4) to start. Press the red off button (B, Fig. 4) to stop. Figure 4 Planer Controls and Adjustments Referring to Figure 5: Power Feed 1.
3. Lock the table lock (E). Each revolution of the handwheel (F) results in a 4mm up or down movement of the table (C). A scale on the handwheel column indicates the amount of handwheel rotation. A pointer (B) indicates the table position relative to the cutterhead on the scale (A) located on the side of the cabinet.
1. Loosen the lock knob (J), slide the cutterhead guard (H) into a position to allow the fence to move, then tighten the lock knob. 2. Loosen two fence assembly locking handles (E). 3. Move the entire fence assembly to the desired position; then re-tighten the handles (E). 4.
IMPORTANT: When removing or rotating inserts, clean saw dust from the screw, the insert, and the cutterhead platform. Dust accumulation between these elements can prevent the insert from seating properly, and may affect the quality of the cut. 2. Before installing each screw, lightly coat the screw threads with machine oil and wipe off any excess.
1. Remove the jointer fence assembly (A Fig.9) by first loosening and removing two lock handle assemblies (B). A 4mm hex wrench is helpful, but not necessary. 2. Remove two button head socket screws (C) and upper back panel (D). 3.
10. Replace the cutterhead drive belt (F) by looping it around the cutterhead pulley (E), then the larger (outside) motor pulley (M). 11. Slide the motor so the mounting screws (L) rest back in the vertical slot openings, then tighten the mounting screws. 12.
Feed Roller Pressure Adjustment The pressure of the feed rollers against the workpiece during planing operations is maintained by spring tension. To adjust this tension, turn the socket head screw (B, Figure 15), clockwise to increase pressure, counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Table and Knife Adjustments For accurate jointing, these items must be true: •...

5. Place a straight edge (D) across the front of the outfeed table (F) and extending over the infeed table (G). Note the position of the infeed table (G). Note: The position of the straight edge as shown in figure 12 with respect to the fence (H). 6.

Rear adjustment Tools required – 13mm wrench, 4mm hex wrench 1. With a 13mm wrench, loosen the hex cap screws (B1). 2. Using a 4mm hex wrench, make very slight adjustments of 1/8 to 1/4 turns to setscrews (B2) as required.
Planer Table Adjustment WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! Checking Planer Table Parallel to Cutterhead The planer table is set parallel to the cutterhead by the manufacturer and no further adjustment is typically necessary.
OPERATION CAUTION: Always wear proper eye protection with side shields, safety footwear, and leather gloves to protect from burrs and sharp edges. When handling large heavy material make sure they are properly supported. Initial Start-up After the assembly and adjustments are complete the planer is ready to be tested. Turn on the power supply at the main panel.
• If the wood to be jointed is cupped or bowed, place the concave side down, and take light cuts until the surface is flat. • Never surface pieces shorter than 16 inches or thinner than 3/8 inch without the use of a special work holding fixture.
4. Set the infeed table for a cut of approximately 1.5mm. 5. Hold the stock firmly against the fence and table, feed the stock slowly and evenly over the cutterhead. Stock Fence Infeed Table Outfeed Table Figure 20 – Beveling Figure 19 –...
Planer Operations Depth of Cut Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness that the planer will produce is indicated by the scale and the depth of-cut gauge.
• Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes knots hard. Knots can come lose and jam the blade. Any article that encounters planer blades may be forcibly ejected from the planer creating a risk of injury. Preparing the Work • A thickness planer works best when the lumber has at least one flat surface. Use a jointer to create a flat surface.
Page 38
7. Do not push or pull on the workpiece. Move to the rear and receive the planed lumber by grasping it in the same manner that it was fed. To avoid the risk of injury due to kickbacks, do not stand directly in line with the front or rear of the planer. 8.
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Maintenance should be performed on a regular basis by qualified personnel. Always follow proper safety precautions when working on or around any machinery. Daily Maintenance •...
Blade Care WARNING: Make sure the electrical disconnect is OFF before working on the machine. Blades are extremely sharp! Use caution when cleaning or changing. Failure to comply may cause serious injury! • The condition of the blades will affect the precision of the cut. Observe the quality of the cut that the planer produces to check the condition of the blades.
