Fit the Handle Clamp (15) to the handle bracket
using the short M6 Screws (12), Washers (7), and
M6 Flange Nuts (14). Pull the handle clamp up and
across until it firmly surrounds the planer handle,
then tighten into position (Fig. 8).
Tighten the rear clamp half to one turn to push
the planer handle snugly into the clamp assembly.
Check that there is no free movement of the handle,
and repeat the above steps if necessary.
Place a straight edge across the base of the rear
shoe, to check it is level with the chassis (Fig. 9).
There should be a 2-3mm gap between the straight
edge and either side of the chassis. Ensure the gap
is identical on either side by adjusting the position
of the rear and front clamps.
With your planer shoes still set exactly in line use
a straight edge down the length of the chassis and
measure from the square tubes at each end of the
chassis to check that the planer is parallel (Fig. 10).
The reading at the rear should be equal or 1-2mm
less than the front, but should never be greater.
Make adjustments to the handle bracket assembly
(repeat Fig’s 7 and 8) until you are satisfied with the
alignment.
Note:
if your workpiece binds between
the planer shoe and fence / jig during operation a
1-2mm offset of the rear shoe (as stated above) will
eliminate this.
Re-check that the planer is level across the chassis
(Fig. 9) and make any necessary adjustments.
FITTING TO THE WORKCENTRE
Remove the Workcentre table and turn it upside
down.
Insert the M6 Flange nuts (14) into the underside of
the Nut Carriers (16) so that it locates fully inside
the cavity (Fig. 11)
With the flange of the nut facing up (toward you),
insert the nut carriers into the slots in the front and
rear table reinforcing ribs. They can be inserted
from either side of the slot (Fig. 11).
Loosely fit a short Coach Bolt (17) and Round Knob
(18) to the Front and Rear table brackets (19 and
20) (Fig. 12).
Fit the brackets to the nut carriers using a short M6
screw (12) and Washer (7). Push brackets in the
direction shown to take up any movement before
tightening (Fig. 13). Make sure the round knobs
face toward each other and the notched ends of the
brackets point outward.
