Fig 5
Feed workpiece slowly and straight
into the thicknesser. It will then be
automatically fed through the
thicknesser.
Guide workpiece straight through the
thicknesser.
To remove the workpiece from the
machine, position yourselves offset to
one side of the outfeed opening.
Support long workpieces with helping
roller stands.
Operating notes:
Always use sharp cutter knives!
Feed with thicker workpiece end at the
front, hollow side downward.
Max. 2,5mm depth of cut.
If a workpiece gets stuck raise the
cutterhead by app. 1mm (1 crank turn).
Plane the stock with the grain, if
possible (Fig 6).
Fig 6
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.
Workpieces shorter than 250mm may
not be processed.
Machine max. 2 workpieces at one
time. Feed on both outer sides.
7. Changing cutter knives
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.
Knife removal:
Raise the cutterhead to its highest
position.
Remove the thickness crank (E) and
the planer cover screws(K).

Remove the planer cover.
Remove the cutter block cover (L)
Fig 8
Turn the hex-head bolts (M) of the
cutter knife lock bar all the way in
(wear gloves!).
Fig 9
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).
Knife installation:
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 both 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 both cutter
knives, otherwise a balancing error
may cause damage to the bearings.
Cutter knives can only be resharpened
down to a minimum width of 14 mm.
Use genuine Jet replacement parts
only.
