Changing the knives
• Put the main switch of the machine to OFF position.
• Pull the power supply plug from the socket.
• Block the cutter block guard in the lifted position.
• Release and remove the four knife clamping screws.
• Lift the knives and knife support from the cutter block.
• Remove the chips and any resin from the cutter block and knife support.
• Place new knives into the cutter block and fix them with the rectangle
slots in both screw heads. (With these two screws, height-adjustment of
the knife is done.)
• Place the knife support onto the knife.
• Slightly tighten the four clamping bolts.
• Repeat these actions for the second knife.
• Then adjust the planer/thicknesser knives exactly with the output table.
Use a ruler that you put onto the output table.
• By the two set screws, the knife can be adjusted for height.
• By turning the cutter block and using the ruler, you can see the height
adjustment.
• The knife is exactly set, when the ruler is moved by the knives not hig-
her than 3 mm.
• After a successful knife setting, all clamping screws must be tightened
(8.4 N/m).
PLEASE MIND!!!
• Sharp planer/thicknesser knives guarantee a clean planing
surface and put less stress on the motor.
• After three grinding actions, a maximum material removal of
3 x 0.05 mm may not be exceeded.
• The planer/thicknesser blades used on this machine are not
suitable for rebating and dovetailing.
• Finally lower the cutter block guard again onto the table.
Cover the cutter block and block it with the star grip screw.
