Side plates
The side plates help to prevent splintering of workpiece. This
tool is equipped with two side plate 21 - 30 (originally
installed on the tool), a side plate 2.4 - 18 (provided as a
standard equipment) and a side plate 33 - 46 (provided as a
standard equipment). Use the correct combination for the
cutter blade to be used. Refer to the table below.

When installing the side plates, adjust them so that the clear-
ances between the side of the cutter blade and the side
plates are approx. 0.1 mm (0.004
” ). Slowly revolve the cutter
blade by turning the drive belt by hand to make sure that the
clearances are adequate. There must be no contact when
rotated.
Shiplapping attachment
Use the shiplapping attachment when cutting the edge of the
workpiece. Attach the shiplapping attachment to the guide
rule using the screws.
