What’s in the Box F F4 F2 F4 F3 F1 General Instructions for 230V Machines Good Working Practices/ Safety The following suggestions 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 EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN! Mains Powered Tools supply the current that is required for your machine.
General Instructions for 230V Machines KEEP THE WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS. It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools used in the setting operations (if any) and place safely out of the way.
Specific Safety Precautions General Safety Notes Wear safety shoes; never wear leisure shoes or sandals. Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. Therefore the appropriate general technical rules as well as the following notes must be observed. Always wear the approved working outfit. Read and understand the entire instruction manual before attempting assembly or operation. For the safe handling of cutting tools wear work gloves.
Assembly PLEASE NOTE. Some of this assembly procedure is best accomplished by two persons. Although the tasks are not impossible, some of the items are heavy and awkward, and a mishandling error could cause injury. Please think about what you are doing, your capabilities and your personal safety. Unpack all the boxes and check all the components against the “What's in the Boxes' List.

Raise the spindle to the maximum height by unlocking the spindle moulder rise/fall locking handle (a) and turning the spindle moulder rise/fall wheel clockwise (b) then lock in place (See figs 23-24).
Assembly Fig 25 Circular rings Fig 26 D1 Fig 27 Fig 28 D1 D2 Locate the guide assembly mounting bracket (D3), using a 6mm allen key remove the four caphead bolts & washers on top of the spindle guard (D1), place safely aside (See fig 29). Lower the guide assembly mounting bracket (D3) on top of the spindle guard & line up the four pre-drilled holes, replace the caphead bolts & washers you removed earlier and tighten (See fig 30) (DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN).
Assembly Step 4 Guide Assembly Locate the guide arm (E1) and slide it through the mounting bracket (D3), with two thirds extending out for the front of the guard, clamp in place using the M8 clamping knob (E2) and lift and shift handle (E3) (See figs 31-32). Locate the feeder roller assembly (E4) and slide it onto the guide arm (E1), clamp in place using the clamping knob (See fig 33). Locate the anti-kickback assembly (E5) and repeat as before (See fig 34).

Setting Up the Machine Setting the fence The fence is a two piece adjusting system. Each fence is independently adjustable to compensate for different cutting thicknesses. Make sure the fence is square to the work surface, place a 90˚ square up against the fence and check it is perpendicular to the work surface. If it is not, turn the fence adjusting knob (a) until it is correct (See figs 55 and 56).
Setting up the Machine Fig 59 5mm Adjusting the feeder roller & ant-kickback assembly Loosen the feeder roller clamping knobs (a and b) & move the feeder roller to the centre of the workpiece, tighten the clamping knobs. Undo the anti-kickback clamping knobs (c and d) and move the assembly near the workpiece, tighten the clamping knob (c), raise the assembly so the steel plate is about 5-10mm above the work table (See figs 60 & 61).
Installing/Changing the Spindle Moulder Cutter DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY! Raise the spindle to the maximum height by unlocking the spindle moulder rise/fall locking handle and turning the spindle moulder rise/fall handle clockwise then lock in place. Using a 19mm spanner remove the bolt & clamping block (D), spacing collar/s (E) and clamping washer (F) and place them safely aside, remove the cutter block. Check the new cutter block for damage,sharpness etc.
Changing the Spindle Moulder Speed DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY! Open the motor access door to the front of the machine, by removing the two caphead screws, see figs 68 & 69, lower the spindle to it’s lowest point, if not done so already. Locate the 10mm allen key (G), loosen the caphead bolt (H) on top of the motor, pull the motor tension lever (I) out, to allow the belt to go slack & reposition the belt on the pulleys as required.
Positioning the Machine Note: Ascertain the orientation of the machine and move it to its desired position in the workshop. Ensure that the machine is positioned to allow sufficient clearance both in front, behind and to the sides of the machine to cater for the maximum length of timber you will wish to machine. The machine should be positioned on a flat level surface. Once the machine is in position, and level, it can be bolted to the floor if so required.
Using a Sanding Drum Sanding drum assembly Fig 73 Operating Instructions Workpiece Handling •Feed the workpiece straight across the machine table, holding the fingers close together and guiding the workpiece with the palms of your hands. •Never put your hands under or behind the cutter guard. •Always keep your hands well clear of the rotating cutter. •Always feed the workpiece against the cutter rotation as shown by the arrow in illustration. •Use a push stick when working the ends of narrow stock.
Optional Accessories The spindle moulder can be fitted with the following optional accessories: • Sliding Table Extension Order No: 950505 See fig 74) This accessory is a support table complete with a telescopic support arm.
