SETTING THE KNIFE HEIGHT

 

 
To obtain a knife projection of 1.5mm, place the knife setting gauge (E) on the 
cutterhead with both guides resting firmly against the knife. 
 

Loosen the assembly by turning the seven screws (A) clockwise with an open 
end wrench. 
 
When  the  knife  is  set  to  the  correct  height  using  the  guides  on  the  gauge, 

retighten the assembly by turning the screws anticlockwise. Make sure all seven 
lock screws are tightened properly. 
 

WARNING 

The knife edge is very susceptible to chipping. Use caution when handling 
the gauge near the knives to avoid damaging them. 
 
WARNING 

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

 
 

ADJUSTING THE TABLE EXTENSION ROLLER

 

 
The  table  extensions  are  mounted  at  the  front  and  rear 
ends of the main table. 
 

Raise the cutterhead assembly so that you can get a clear 
view and work comfortably adjusting the extensions.  
 
Place  a  straight  edge  across  the  main  table  and  table 

extension to be adjusted. 
 
If the main table and table extension roller are not aligned, 
adjust the table extension by loosening the nut holding it in 

place and turning the screw until the table extension just 
touches the straight edge. Adjust the right and left sides of 
the table extension this way. 
 

The roller has been factory set to align with the table extension and requires no further adjustment. 
 
 

MAKING THE CUTTERHEAD AND WORKTABLE PARALLEL

 

 
Underneath the main table, loosen the "C" circlip. 
 
Disengage the bevel gear next to the circlip 

 
Turn the bevel gear to adjust the height of that side of the cutterhead. One tooth of turn anticlockwise gives 0.12mm 
raising thickness. 
 

After adjustment, re-engage the bevel gear and replace the "C" circlip.
