2.3 Thicknesser mode: Setting the depth of
cut. (See Fig 27)
The depth of cut is set by how high / low the
thicknessing bed is in relation to the cutter-block.
1) Measure the workpiece.
2) Set the bed to just over this measurement,
using the scale to the left of the in-feed table.
3) Turn the height adjusting handle (11) anti-
clockwise to lower the thicknessing bed, clockwise
to raise it.
4) Ensure that the cutter block is free from
foreign objects (including the workpiece to be
thickened).
5) Connect the planer thicknesser to the mains
supply.
6) Turn the thicknesser on with the green “1”
button (1).
7) Allow the planer to reach its maximum speed.
8) Place the workpiece onto the in-feed table.
9) Turn the height adjustment handle (11) half a
turn clockwise to raise the bed.
10) Continue this process until the workpiece
comes into contact with the thicknesser drive
rollers.
11) Once the workpiece comes into contact with
the rollers they will automatically “pull” it through
the machine and over the cutterblock.
12) Continue this process until the workpiece is at
the desired thickness.
Note:
A longer workpiece should be supported
after it leaves the machine to ensure a good even
finish.
MAINTENANCE
Caution:
Always ensure that the machine
is turned off and that the plug is removed
from the mains supply before carrying out any
repairs or maintenance.
1. Before each use.
• Check for damaged parts and repair or replace
them as necessary.
• Ensure all nuts and bolts etc are secure.
• Ensure that all moving parts move freely and are
not binding prior to starting the machine.
• Remove adjusting keys and wrenches and check
to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are
