SETUP & OPERATION

The plane diameter that is inline with the back fence is where you need to measure to, the
cutter’s plane diameter that is higher than 30 mm above the table height is unimportant here.
Align the back fence along the guard rail, which is still tight against the first fence and tighten it.
The cut is now 0 mm. The first fence, cutter and back fence are fully inline, and the first fence
controls the angle through the machine.
Remove the fence rail and all loose tools from the machine.
Move the first fence back to the required cut and lock it using the tie-back knob. (Around 2 mm
is usually a suitable cut for the first cutter.)
Method 2:
The back fence is pulled in so that it is not used, and is fixed there. (Check that the cutter can
rotate freely.)
Position the front fence so that the required cut depth is obtained and the fence stands
straight. Tighten the screws that fix the fence.
Close the safety doors and take the measures required to start the planer/moulder.
Start the bottom cutter, both side cutters and the feeder and feed in a test piece of approx. 1
meter (3 ft). Stop the planer/moulder just as the board reaches the moveable cutter (cutter 3).
Drive the back fence towards the planed part of the board.
See figure 3-19.
Check that the test piece is lying against both fences and tighten the back fence's lock screws.
IMPORTANT!
Check that all screws that fix the fences are properly
tightened, and that the cutter can rotate freely.
TIP:
If there is a problem in that the board does not follow the fences, it could be that the back fence
is not at the right level in relation to the cutter, that the fences are not completely parallel to one
another, or that the fence does not run straight through the planer/moulder. If it is difficult to get the
fence to lie perfectly straight through the planer/moulder, it is better that the fences are slightly
