To achieve a 150mm cut of a large area it is recommended to cut the entire
area at the recommended depth and then clear the spoil from the area before
making the second cut.
Removing the spoil between cuts will enhance the productivity of the planer
and maintain an even cut.
If trying to achieve a critical cutting depth it is recommended that the spoil
from one cut be cleared away before making another pass. This will eliminate
the possibility of the planer riding on and off the spoil and creating an uneven
surface.
MILLING TAPER CUTS
When adding to or joining new paved surfaces to existing paving, a taper cut
may be required at the interacting joints so the new paving would appear
seamless. See the chart below for the angle of cut per size of Profila.
Example: To achieve a taper cut from 0 to 100mm over a 1200mm distance with
a 600mm wide Profila it is recommended that you set one side of the planer at
100mm and the other at 100mm and the tilt set at 4° for the first pass. Then
make a second pass with both sides of the planer set at 0mm and the tilt still at
4°.
