Planing of narrow work pieces:
Add an auxiliary fence to safely guide
narrow workpieces (see Fig 16).
Fig 16
Operating notes:
The planer tables are precisely aligned
ex. works. They may only be loaded
when the table-cabinet locks are
engaged, otherwise they may be
damaged or precision of machine be
lost.
Always use sharp cutter knives!
Check work piece for foreign objects
(nails, screws) and for loose knots.
Feed with thicker work piece end at the
front, hollow side downward.
Plane the stock with the grain, if
possible.
You get a better surface when planing
several passes with less chip removal.
Switch machine off if no further planing
is to be done immediately afterwards.
Cover the cutter block with the cutter
block guard.
Jointing and planing of short
workpieces may only be performed with
the help of tailor made push woods and
templates.
For the authorized use of the
machine observe the appendix A
“safe operation“
(on the last pages of this operating
manual)
A1: Planing, stock thickness below
75mm.
A2: Edge jointing.
A3: Planing of narrow gibs
A4: Planing of short stock with push
wood.
6.2 Thicknessing
Correct operating position:
To feed the work piece into the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the feed opening.
Work piece handling
Adjust the planer table to the work
piece thickness.
Feed work piece slowly and straight into
the thicknesser. It will then be
automatically fed through the
thicknesser.
Guide work piece straight through the
thicknesser.
To remove the work piece from the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the outfeed opening.
Support long work pieces with helping
roller stands.
Operating notes:
Always use sharp cutter knives!
Feed with thicker work piece end at the
front, hollow side downward.
Max. 4,5 mm depth of cut. If a work
piece gets stuck lower the planer table
by app. 1mm (1/4 crank turn).
Plane the stock with the grain, if
possible.
You get a better surface when planing
several passes with less chip removal.
Switch machine off if no further
planning is to be done immediately
afterwards.
Work pieces shorter than 150mm may
not be processed.
Machine max. 2 work pieces at one
time. Feed on both outer sides.
7. Setup and adjustments
General note:
Setup and adjustment work may only
be carried out after the machine is
protected against accidental starting.
Push the E-stop button
Pull the mains plug!
7.1 Changing cutterblock knives
The given instructions about knife
installation, maximum knife circle,
minimum knife clamping width and
correct knife lock blot tightening torque
must strictly be observed.
The cutter knives may only be changed
when the mains plug is pulled!
Risk of personal injury by cuts from the
cutter knives. Wear suitable gloves
when changing cutter knives.
Move cutter block cover to front and
fence to back.
Turn the four square-hear bolts of the
cutter knife lock bar all the way in (wear
gloves!).
At first remove cutter knife, then cutter
knife lock bar from the cutter block.
Clean all surfaces of cutter block and
cutter knife lock bar with a suitable
solvent (do not use cleaning agents that
could corrode the light metal
components).
Use only suitable cutter knives
conforming the technical specification
and EN 847-1
Unsuitable, incorrectly mounted, dull,
cracked of bent cutter knives can work
loose or increase the risk of kickback
considerably.
Always replace all three cutter knives at
once.
The cutter knife lock bars are balanced
to each other and thus can randomly be
placed.
Only cutter knives marked “HSS” or
“HS” can be resharpened!
When resharpening, remove the same
amount of material from all three cutter
knives, otherwise a balancing error may
cause damage to the bearings.
Cutter knives can only be resharpened
down to a minimum width of 15 mm.
Knives may not exceed the cutterblock
body by 1,1mm in radius.
Use genuine Jet replacement parts
only.
Changing the Standard Blades
Fig 17
Turn the cutter block until one of the
slots is in the upright position. Using a
4mm Hex key loosen the four cap head
screws on the cutter block, thus
removing the clamping effect. This
should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up,
protruding clear of the edge of the
cutter block, see Fig 18.
Carefully remove the blade and place
safely aside
