The following will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENTOUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

Mains Powered Tools

• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.• Inspect the cable and plug to ensuree that neither are

damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified person.• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.

Workplace

• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere within a site area that is flooded.

• Keep machine clean.• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to commence.• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the

cable.

• Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool is securely tightened in the machine and the correct speed and function set.

• Ensure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc.

• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.

• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.

• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches.

• Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear etc.• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are

suitably qualified to use it.• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted • Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas

of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases.

• Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.

• OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.

Specific Precautions Using Planer Thicknessers

5

Most machines currently are well interlocked to ensure that the machine must be in the correct configuration to perform one task or the other. Make yourself familiar with these configurations and do not try to use the machine in a half and half state, or rig the interlocks to enable you to do so.

These machines are designed for cutting timber only. They will, but are not designed to, cut timber derivatives or composites. Glue lines in plywood, block board etc will ‘notch’ blades.The bonding agent in chipboard is likewise detrimental to the health of your planer irons. It is best to leave them alone. If you have to machine composites, work out the costs of tungstenagainst HSS (plus the sharpening costs), and proceed accordingly. On larger machines it is common practice to leave a portion of the blade (usually the offside 30mm) to be used on ‘aggressive’ materials.

Make sure during overhand planing operations that the fence is set to the required angle, is securely fastened and locked in position. Ensure the planer block guarding is in position and secured.

• Disengage the autofeed for the thicknesser.

• Ensure both tables are correctly seated and locked down.

• Ensure the dust extraction hood is in place and is not blocked.

• Fit dust extraction.

Overhand planing

Check the sharpness of planer irons, check for ‘nicks’ and ‘notches’, if there are damaged sections on the blades, try to plane in the ‘clear’ areas. Especially when planing material down to ‘thin’ dimensions, maintain pressure on the ‘front’ of the material i.e that portion of the stuff that has passed over the block, but use a push stick or a pusher shoe to clear the end of the stuff over the block.

Thicknessing

When thicknessing, remove the fence and and place safely aside. Lower the thicknessing table. Unlock and swing both tables ‘up and out of the way’,taking care not to foul the overhand guard/arm assembly, which will probably swing free. Turn the dust extraction hood up and over the block.

• Connect the dust extraction. Ensure the hose will not foul any stuff being passed through the machine.

• Check the height of the thicknessing table.

• Engage the autofeed mechanism.

• Periodically, clean any excess build up of resin from thethicknessing table and apply any proprietary brand oflubricating agent. NOTE, Consideration should be given to the type of finish you will be applying to the surface when you select your cleaning/lubrication agent.

Assembly

6

The planer thicknesser comes 95% assembled. It is enclosed in a packing case with all the accessories. Having removed the top and the sides of the packing case, remove all the components from the machine and place safely aside.

1. Ascertain the orientation of the machine and move it to itsdesired position in the workshop. Make sure it is positioned on a flat level surface and ensure that the machine is positioned to allow sufficient clearance both in front and behind the machine to cater for the maximum length of timber you will wish to machine.

Remember sufficient space must be left around themachine to facilitate your stance when overhead planing and moving from end to end of the machine if you are thicknessing single handed. Remember that when the surface tables are up and out of the way for thicknessing, the machine is appreciably wider than when it is in overhead mode. 2. The machine is secured down on to the pallet with four bolts that forms the bottom of the packing case.

NOTE: You will need to remove the motor drive guard housing to the rear of the planer thicknesser to gain access to the inside the machine. Remove the six Phillips screws, three on each side and remove the housing, see fig 01-02-03.

Fig 01-02

3. Undo and remove the four nuts and bolts on each corner of the base of the machine, see fig 04.

4. Locate the four rubber feet (G), remove one of the nuts on each foot and place safely aside. Insert one of the threaded feet up through the elongated hole to one of the four corners at the base of the machine frame, see fig 05. Secure in place using one of the nuts you removed earlier, see fig 06. 5. Repeat above for the remaining rubber feet, see fig 07. 6. Replace the rear drive guard housing and secure.

DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CONTINUING!

Overview

The planer blades are mounted into two slot housingsmachined in the cutter block. The slot housing comprises a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse tapered slot around it. The depth of the first slot governs the seating of the blade holder, the second slot allows the blade to be set to its correct depth in the block. The blade holder is machined with a tapered face set at the same angle as the slot. This allows the blade to be clamped between parallel faces, see illustration opposite.

1. Remove the fence assembly and place safely aside. Unlock the overhead cutter arm assembly (B) and rotate over and lock in place. Unlock the surface table and raise them to the upright position, see fig 58.

Changing the Standard Blades


Fig 58

2. Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is in the upright position. Using the supplied spanner loosen the five clamping nuts on the cutter block, thus removing the clamping effect. This should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up, protruding clear of the edge of the cutter block. 3. Carefully remove the blade and place safely aside.

WARNING! BE VERY CAREFUL WHENREMOVING THE BLADE AS IT IS EXTREMELY SHARP.

4. Remove the blade holder and lay aside. Clean the slot housing thoroughly, remove any resin build-up, sawdust, chips etc. Clean the blade holder and ensure the circumference of the cutter block is cleaned thoroughly. 5. Remove the new blade from its keeper and place the old blade in its place. Locate the blade setting tool (F), see fig 59.

Fig 59

6. Introduce the blade holder, position it against the back of the slot, introduce the blade in the front of the blade holder. Carefully position the blade and the holder to line up with the edge of the cutter block. Press the blade setting tool gently down onto the blade, ensuring the locating feet are firmly seated against the circumference of the cutter block and the blade is against the setting recess, see fig 60-61. 7. Holding the blade and setting tool (F) in position, tighten two clamping nuts to provide a firm grip on the blade. Keeping the setting tool held firmly in place tighten the remaining clamping nuts, see fig 62.

8. Repeat the procedure for the remaining blade. When all the blades are set at the correct height, carry out a quick check by rotating the cutter block in reverse and visually inspecting the edge of the blade against a fixed point.

9. If this appears satisfactory, go round and check everything is tight and lower the surface tables and re-lock them in place. Replace the overhead cutter block arm (B), replace the fence assembly (C) and continue with the operation.

NOTE: You can also check that the blades are set at the correct height along the length of the cutter block by the following method below.

• Find a scrap piece of timber and draw two measuring lines approximately 10mm apart, see fig 63.• Place the timber to one side of the cutter block across the tables and line up right measuring line to the edge of the outfeed surface table, see fig 64.• Rotate the cutter block so the blade tip pulls the timber forward, stop when the blade detaches itself from the timber.• The rear line should now line up with the outfeed table’s edge, see fig 65-66.• Repeat for the opposite side.

NOTE: If there is any deviation along the length of thecutter block, adjust the blade until correct.

Daily Check the overhead tables and the thicknessing table are clean, not coated with resin etc. Apply a proprietarycleaner/lubricating agent such as ‘Liberon Wax & PolishRemover’ (1) and ‘Liberon Lubricating Wax’ (2). Check the cable and the plug for damage or defects.Mount the planer fence and check it is set upright. Check the dust extraction hood and ensure there are no excessive build ups of sawdust/resin, especially in the mouth of the chip deflector and around the mouth of the extractor. Check the blades for sharpness and damage. Check the rollers of the thicknessing table rotate freely,and there is no build up between the roller and theextension table.

Weekly Carry out the ’Daily’ checks. Clean the machine thoroughly, remove any shavings, sawdust, chips etc from in, under and around the machine. Check the cutter block for resin build up, especially behind the blade and in the scallop of the blade holder. Raise the tables and brush out and clean any debris or build up around the area of the noise attenuating slots in the edges of the overhand tables. Check the infeed and take off pressure rollers to make sure they are not clogged, clean as necessary. Check the action of the anti-kickback fingers, again clean and lubricate as required.


Monthly Carry out the ‘Weekly’ checks. Remove the machine’s rear drive guard housing by removing the six Phillips screws, three on either side of the machine and check the condition and tension of the drive belt.
