8” THICKNESS PLANER
removed from the tool before turning it on.
2. During use.
• Constantly check for abnormalities. Stop the
operation immediately if something does not look
or sound right and have the machine checked by
a suitably qualified person.
• Remove any buildup of chippings and pay
particular attention around the base of the planer
thicknesser, as build up there will prevent the
cooling air from reaching the motor.
3. After each use.
• Remove the extraction port and clean out all
chippings etc. Dry air would be good for this
operation but a soft brush would also work.
Caution: Always wear a dust mask and eye
protection when using dry air.
• Remove all chippings etc from the planer
thicknesser.
• Remove all chippings etc from around the air
inlets of the motor. If these become blocked the
motor will become too hot and its service life will
be greatly reduce.
• Wrap the mains lead carefully around the cable
clips (21). This will reduce the risk of tripping and
/ or damage to the cable.
4. After 10 hours running. (See Fig 28)
• Lubricate the bush bearings.
• Treat the threaded spindles for height adjustment
of the thicknessing table with dry lubricant.
5. Periodically. (See Fig 29)
Over time resin or other contaminates may build
up on the planer in-feed and out-feed tables, as
well as the thicknesser table and the in-feed and
out-feed rollers.
• To ensure easy steady feeding the beds and the
rollers will need to be cleaned periodically.
• Periodically check that the anti-kickback fingers
move freely (they should fall back under their
own weight).
• Check that the points of the anti-kickback fingers
are not rounded.
