Parallel Guide; Rebate Depth Stop - Westfalia 81 80 51 Original Instruction Manual


Take care to work in the direction of the wood fibres; the wood may be ripped
when working across the fibres.

Always make sure the machine moves parallel to the surface of the
workpiece. Do not move the machine too fast to avoid jamming it with wood
chips.

Parallel Guide

1. Mount the parallel guide (21) with the
mounting screw (22) on the housing
(9a).
2. Loosen the wing screw (A) on the
parallel guide and adjust the desired
width. Tighten the wing screw only
hand tight.

Rebate Depth Stop

1. Mount the rebate depth stop (23) with the
mounting screw (22) on the housing 9b.
2. Adjust the desired rebate depth. On the
housing you will find a notch (see red arrow)
for the 0-Position and on the rebate depth
stop you will find a respective scale.
3. At the first go, guide the planer that way so
the parallel guide is exactly sitting flat on the
workpiece. Please note that the first go is
essential for the appropriateness of the
rebate depth! In the second step of the
process, place the edge of the planing sole
on the rebate. The parallel guide is helpful
for first planing and can be removed after
that. Make sure the edge of the planing sole
is sitting exactly on the rebate. If the rebate
depth stop is lying on the rebate according
to the adjusted scale, the rebate depth is
achieved.
