Table Adjustment and the operation of the Limit Switches
In order to avoid damage while raising or lowering the table the moulder is equipped with upper
and lower safety limit switches. The lower disconnects the drive at a distance of 170mm and the
upper one at 18mm from the planer knife in the thicknesser cutter shaft.
The permissible travel of the table is also blocked mechanically when using the handweel (21) to
raise the table. The operation of the mechanical limits is shown in Figure 9.
Item a)
- shows the upper limit at a distance of 15mm from the knife - a guide should be used.
Item b)
- shows the upper limit at a distance of 3mm from the knife - in this instance the giude bar
41 must be removed.
The factory settings are for a minimum setting of 15mm (Item a)). In order to reset the limit to
3mm (Figure 9, Item b)) one has to loosen screw 4 and then tighten screw 6 with the 17mm
spanner. After adjusting the physical limit to desired dimension tighten screw 4 until secure.

manufacturer. Violation of this instruction will invalidate the warranty.
2. You must remember to reset the mechanical limit to 15 mm form the knife (item a)) and in
when the guide bar is replaced.
Not adhering to these instructions may cause an accident.
