OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cont. PLANING 1. The cutting depth is set by the knob (13) & gauge (15) at the infeed table. We recommend a depth of cut of no more than 1mm and no less than 0.5mm. The maximum depth of cut is 2mm. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Cont. Fig.C General Information: For best results try to plane / thickness following the grain. This will reduce the amount of further finishing required. For rough sawn timber requiring finishing on all 4 sides:- Set the machine for planing. Identify the flattest of the two wider faces on the timber.
Blades must always be fitted as a pair, and must be of the same type, only fit blades recommended by SIP Industrial Products Ltd. First, ensure the machine is switched OFF and isolated from the mains supply.

MAINTENANCE Cont. NOTE: It is recommended that sharpening is done professionally, using a jig, as blades must be sharpened as a pair to ensure they are correctly balanced. This avoids the possibility of vibration due to unbalanced cutters rotating at speed. Fig.
