■ Set the blade heights according to the instructions in
"SETTING THE BLADE HEIGHT". The blade height
must be reset every time the blades are taken out for
any reason.
■ Be sure to replace the dust chute after blades are
installed.

See figure 13-14.
■ To obtain a blade projection of 1.1 mm, place the
blade setting gauge on the cutterhead with both
guides resting firmly against the blade.
■ Loosen the assembly by turning the seven forcing
screws clockwise with an open end wrench.
■ When the blade is pressed to the required height
by guides on the gauge, retighten the assembly by
turning the forcing screws counter clockwise. Make
sure all seven forcing screws are tightened securely.

The blade edge is very susceptible to chipping. Use
caution when handling the gauge near the blades to
avoid damaging them.

The assembly must be tightened securely to prevent
accidents during planing.

The dust produced when using this tool may be harmful
to health. Use a dust absorption system and remove
deposited dust thoroughly, e.g., with a vacuum cleaner.
To connect a dust collection system:
■ Unplug the tool.
■ Connect the nozzle of the dust collection system to
the dust chute.
Clean the hose of the dust collection system frequently to
avoid the accumulation of dust.

Plane a workpiece and measure the thickness after the
cut. If the thicknesses are different on both sides of the

workpiece, perform the following:
Adjust the cutter shaft and the worktable so they are
parallel. The tools used for checking are shown in figure
15. Use hardwood to make a tool gauge block according
to the size shown in the figure. Make the adjustments as
per the following procedures.
■ Remove the height adjustment crank handle and
both top and side covers by removing allen screws to
expose the height adjustment lock nuts.
■ Loosen the adjustment lock nuts.
■ Adjust the height adjustment lock nuts up or down as
required to suit the gauge block.
■ When the desired height setting is reached, tighten the
lock nuts in position.
■ Reassemble side and top covers and replace the
height adjustment crank handle.
notE: Remove gauge block before starting machine.
Thickness planing is the sizing of the material to a desired
thickness, while creating a smooth surface parallel to the
opposite side of the board.
The art of thickness planing consists mainly of using good
judgement about the depth of cut in various situations.
You must take into account:
1. The width of the timber
2. The hardness of the timber
3. The dampness of the timber
4. The straightness of the board
5. The grain direction
6. The grain structure
How these factors can affect the quality of the work can
only be learned through experience. Whenever working
with a new type of wood, or one with unusual problems,
always make test cuts on scrap material prior to working
on the actual piece.
foR ADDitionAl plAninG
If additional planing is needed to obtain the desired
thickness of finish, hand crank the cutterhead no more
than 3 mm (at any given time) and complete another pass.
Never plane more than 3 mm in one pass and never
attempt to plane a board under 127 mm (5") in length.
Always wear a protective face shield.
