7.6 Thicknessing with dust collector:
Bring chip ejection hood into position as in 7.1, then
place the suction connector onto it. Secure with lock
levers and guard.
Caution!
The chip ejection hood is the cutterblock guard when the
machine is set up for thicknessing.
Never operate machine without chip ejection hood in
place and properly secured.
7.7 Prepare machine for thicknessing as described above. Set thicknessing bed to required thickness of stock (but max. 5 mm
more than actual thickness of stock). Start machine and place stock with planed side facing down onto thicknessing bed and
slowly push forward until feed roller engages. With wedge-shaped stock feed thicker side first. Wet stock can be slightly coated
with kerosene to improve sliding capabilities.
8.0 Replacing Blades
Disconnect machine from power before
servicing!
Remove fence. Loosen hex. bolts of lock bar with
tool set’s spanner SW 10 mm by turning the bolts
clockwise (into the lock bar). Remove the lockbar
complete with blade from cutterblock. Clean lock bar,
lock bar seat and blade from chips and dust with oily
rag. Reverse blade or fit fresh one onto lock bar.
Please assembly into cutterblock and secure in
place by turning hex. bolts-counter-clockwise, at this
stage only tighten bolts lightly. Check projection
of blade against outfeed table with dial indicator or
straight edge placed onto outfeed table. Max. blade
projection over outfeed table 1.0 mm/0.04 inch.
Use the tool set’s Allen key SW 3 mm to correct
projection by turning the three setting screws of the
lock bar in or out, as required. When correct setting is
reached fully tighten the hex. bolts. Start with the
centre bolts, then the outer ones.
Caution!
