5. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND APPLICATIONS
The AP98 edge lipping planer comes equipped
with:
• Hard-metal reversible blades.
• Knob for adjusting cutting depth, enabling a
fl
ushing height from 11 mm to 0.
• Side guides, for
fl
ushing work that takes the edge
of the piece as a reference.
• Dust collector connection.
• Upwardly-engaging safety button, which prevents
the machine from being started up accidentally.
The AP98 edge lipping planer is a tool that will
prove useful to carpenters,
fi
tters and restorers.
It has been especially designed for the recessing
and
fl
ushing of: woods, varnished woods, strati
fi
ed
woods, softwoods and synthetic materials.
For maximum performance, the selfsame weight
of the machine is the only pressure that should
be applied; do not force it, which will reduce its
speed and output.
6. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
This edge lipping planer is equipped with an
upwardly-engaging safety button that prevents the
machine from being started up accidentally.
To start up the machine, press down on the safety
button Z while simultaneously depressing the power
button A1 (Fig. 1).
Before plugging in the machine, ensure that the
power supply voltage is compatible with that stated
on its speci
fi
cations plate, and that the blade-holder
guard is properly attached.
7. CUTTING ADJUSTMENTS
FLUSHING HEIGHT
Unscrew knob A (Fig. 1) in the counter-clockwise
direction until reaching the end of the thread. Spin
the wheel B to raise or lower the cutter-block, ad-
justing it to the necessary
fl
ushing height.
After setting the
fl
ushing height, screw on the knob
A in the clockwise direction until it becomes
fi
rmly
tightened in place.
8. SIDE GUIDE
The side guide C (Fig. 1) enables
fl
ushing by fo-
llowing the edge of the board. It can be set using
knob D and then tightened using the 6-mm Allen
wrench E.
9. DUST COLLECTOR CONNECTION
The machine is equipped with a dust collector
connection F (Fig. 1) which can be used for
connection to our AS182K, AS282K and AS382L
dust collector or any industrial equivalent via the
STANDARD DUST COLLECTOR ATTACHMENT
(ref. 6446073).
WARNING! The dust collector connection F (Fig.
1) must never be set up on the machine if no
collector is used. This would prevent the free
ejection of chips.
10. REPLACING AND
CONTROLLING THE BLADES
ATTENTION: Disconnect the equipment from the
mains before carrying out this operation.
1. REPLACING BLADES AND
BLADE HOLDERS
To replace blades or reverse them in order to use
the second cutting edge, follow the steps below:
Loosen the two fastening screws G (Fig. 2) in the
clockwise direction using the service key.
Turn the cutter-block casing to a suitable position
so that the blade H can be lined up with the gro-
ove I of the guard, so as to have enough space
to move and laterally remove the blade from its
housing in holder J.
Remove any dust and resin from the seats of the
cutter-block and supports before inserting new
blades.
Replace the old blade with a new one, or with the
same blade reversed, using its second cutting
edge.
Reinsert the blade in the recess of the blade
holder J (Fig. 3), ensuring that the blade H and its
holder J do not protrude out from the side of the
cutter-block P.
Securely tighten the two screws G (Fig. 2) in the
counter-clockwise direction using the service
key.
If it is necessary to replace the blade holders J of
the cutter-block, loosen the 2 screws K (Fig. 4),
unscrew the screw L and remove the cutter-block
guard M, which will leave the blade bearings J
in view.
2. ADJUSTING BLADES AND
BLADE HOLDERS
Blade holders are regulated before leaving the
factory and do not require readjustment when
changing the blade. Nonetheless, if for any reason
they have to be adjusted, do so as follows:
Using the knob A and the wheel B (Fig. 1 and 6),
align and block the surface of the base N (Fig.
5) with the cutting edge of the blade in the best
condition, which will used as a reference.
In the event that blade holders or blades become
