USE
Coarse planing
Coarse planing is used to provide a reference surface for machining.
1.
Set a small removal setting for the best surface finish.
2.
Process where possible along the grain.
NOTE
The surface finish is affected by various factors:
the wood's hardness, moisture content, fibre structure, etc.
blade sharpness, machining direction, material removal per pass, etc.
Perform test machining to find the best settings.
Planing
Planing involves material removal of the workpiece to the desired thickness, the machining of the surface
opposite a coarse planed reference surface.
The maximum material removal per pass is 2.5 mm. Multiple machining passes may be needed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Turn off the machine and unplug the power cord before cleaning and maintenance. Do not use
water or other liquids to clean electrical parts.
Checking and replacing the carbon brushes
1.
Turn off the machine, unplug the power cord and wait until all moving parts have stopped completely.
2.
Dismantle the carbon brush cover as illustrated using a screwdriver.
3.
Replace the carbon brushes when they are shorter than 6 mm.
4.
Fit the new carbon brushes. Always replace both carbon brushes at the same time.
5.
Replace the carbon brush cover.
Lubrication
1.
Regularly remove shavings from the depth setting chains, reduction drive and lifting screws for the
blade holder.
2.
Remove chips with a cloth and brush and lightly grease with a clean brush dipped in oil.
3.
Never pour oil directly on the components - too much oil means dust will stick and impair lubrication,
which in turn shortens component life.
The blade holder’s bearings are sealed and must not be lubricated.
Maintenance
1.
Keep the machine clean and free of dust and chips.
2.
Clean trapped materials from the blade holder and tongues and carefully lubricate with a clean brush
dipped in oil.
3.
Remove resin and the like from the rollers and work table with a non-flammable solvent.
4.
Clean plastic parts with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Never immerse the tool in water or any other
liquid. Never use detergents or alcohol.
5.
Always check that all guards and other components are correctly fitted before use.
Guards or other parts that are damaged must be repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre,
unless otherwise specified in these instructions.
