ADJUSTMENT
(fs_7-1_0.0)
DANGER-WARNING:
all adjusting operations are to be carried out with standstill spindle.
DANGER-WARNING:
before carrying out any of the operations make sure to cut the main electric power and disconnect
socket T from plug S.
U.S.A. and CANADA version:before carrying out maintenance operations, adjustments or to
dismount any machine member turn main switch (Y fig. 7.1) to 0, lock it then indicate this with a
sign.
DANGER-WARNING
to handle the knives and the cutterblock you shall wear safety gloves.
Exclusively mount knives of the same series (with the same height) to prevent unbalancing.
Minimum permitted height: 18 mm.
NOTE-INFORMATION:
for safety reasons the blades are completely inserted in the cutter block; before machining adjust
them in accordance with the instructions below.
For adjusting the knife projection proceed as follows:
Remove the nuts that block screws (1, 2 fig.7.1).
1)
Position blade adjusters (R fig.7.1) as indicated in the figure
.
Plug (B fig. 7.1) must be inserted in the appropriate hole in the shaft (E fig. 7.1).
At this point secure the knife adjuster (R fig. 7.1) to the table by tighten the screw (2 fig. 7.1).
Position the knife adjuster (L fig. 7.1) as illustrated in the diagram
and lock it in place by tighten the
screw (1 fig. 7.1).
If necessary, replace the blades by inserting them in their specific slot (D fig.7.1) ensuring that the cutting
edge meets the direction of rotation of the planer (E fig.7.1).
2)
Loosen the blocking screws (follow the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) using the specific key (C fig.7.1); the blade
comes out pushed by the contrast springs.
3)
Make sure springs are in good working order by exerting a light pressure on cutters: these should go deeper
into their seats and then go back to their initial position.
4)
Make sure cutters and wedges are centered in relation to cutterblock (E fig.7.1).
NOTE-INFORMATION:
to ensure adjustments are correct the knife blade should simultaneously rest on the knife adjusters
(R, L fig. 7.1). In this way proper protrusion of the knife from the planer spindle is guaranteed
(maximum 1 mm).
5)
Screw in, but do not tighten completely, the lock screws (following the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - CU 300 - / 1,
6, 2, 5, 3, 4 - CU 410 -) with the relevant wrench (C fig. 7.1) until the knife is resting against the planar
spindle (E fig. 7.1). Then carry out final tightening as per the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - CU 300 - / 1, 6, 2, 5, 3,
4 - CU 410 -, doing so in a uniform manner on all the screws.
In the same way mount all the knives.
When the operation has been completed, set up the machine for buzz planing or thicknessing following the
instructions in Chapters 7A and 9.
