Getting to Know Your Planer/Jointer E F D N C I L G K H M O A Q B J P A B C D E F G H I Function selection switch On / off & emergency stop Cutter guard Infeed table Outfeed table Fence assembly Planing depth of cut adjustment Cutter guard rise and fall Machine frame J K L M N O P Q 5 Stand & wheel kit (Optional) Planing extraction port 4” Planer table Planer rise and fall handle Planer extraction port 4” Planer depth gauge Wheel kit operating pedal (Optional) Machine ID plate
CAUTION! To install the legs the machine must be placed onto its side. The machine is heavy. Additional help or a suitable lifting device or support will be required for lifting the machine onto the stand. Assembly Fig.3.2 Fig.3.4 Note: With the machine laying on its side, it is easier to gain access to the underside to secure the nuts and washers. Note: When assembling this Planer/ Jointer, DO NOT fully tighten the nuts and bolts until the assembly is complete. Fig.3.5 3.2 Stand Assembly 1.
Assembly 4.1 Installing the in-feed table: 1. Remove the four socket head cap screws from table cover rails, already fitted Fig.4.1. Fig.4.1 4. Hold table up to machine while threading depth of cut control bar into spacer shaft Fig.4.4. Table cover rails Slotted extrusion Socket head cap screw Fig.4.7 Fig.4.2 5. Fit the infeed table into position under the table cover rails and wind the depth of cut bar until the uppermost line on the depth scale is registered.
Assembly 4.5 Installing the fence: 1. Attach the fence carrier casting to the side of the infeed table using 2 x 10mm bolts Fig.4.11. Fig.4.11 10mm Bolts Fence carrier Fig.4.12 2. Slide the fence assembly on to the fence carrier and tighten the lower ratchet handle to secure. Now fit the guard plate Fig.4.12. Guard plate Lower Ratchet handle 4.6 Setting the fence: Once the fence is in position it must now be accurately set at 90º. To do this you will need an accurate square.
Assembly 4.9 Checking and setting outfeed table: Fig.4.16 CAUTION! This procedure involves close contact with the planer blade. Ensure that gloves are worn at all times to prevent injury to the hands and the machine is disconnected from the power supply. In order to accurately set the machine it is first necessary to align the tables. 1. Set the infeed table to 0 Fig.4.16. Fig.4.17 2.
Assembly 4.10 Checking and setting the planer knives: Fig.4.21 CAUTION! This procedure involves close contact with the planer blade. Ensure that gloves are worn at all times to prevent injury to the hands and ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power source. SETTING GAUGE During transit the planer knives may be knocked out of alignment. It is important to check that the knives are properly aligned and adjust if necessary.
Assembly Turn the cutterhead by hand, one turn against the direction of feed. Take care not to touch the blades as they are very sharp and could cause injury. The planer knives are set correctly if the straight edge is moved forward 1/8” to 3/16” Fig.4.24B by turning the cutterhead. This check must be performed at both ends of the cutterhead. Fig.4.24B 3-5mm If the straight edge moves less than 1/8” the knives are set too low, if it moves further than 3/16” they are set too high. Fig.4.
Operation Bring chip ejection hood into position as shown, then place the suction connector on to it Fig.5.3. Secure with lock levers and guard. Fig.5.3 Note: The chip ejection hood is the cutterhead guard when the machine is set up for planing. Never operate machine without chip ejection hood in place and properly secured. Height adjustment is made with the lever mounted on the left hand side of the machine.
Operation To increase the depth of cut simply rotate the infeed adjustment knob anticlockwise Fig.5.5C. Fig.5.5C Adjustment Knob 6.4 Jointing: For jointing the narrow sides of a workpiece release the blade guard lock lever and set blade guard to width of workpiece. The plastic spring on the end of the blade guard should exert a slight pressure against the workpiece. Lock blade guard in place and start the machine. Push workpiece slowly and steady against cutter block.
Operation When side 1 is positioned flat against the planer bed, side 3 can be cut Fig.5.7B. Fig.5.7B Cutterhead 3 2 4 1 Planer Bed Likewise when side 2 is positioned flat against the planer bed, side 4 can be cut resulting in four square edges Fig.5.7C. Fig.5.7C 4 Cutterhead 3 1 2 Planer Bed Maintenance CAUTION! Fig.6.1 Before carrying out any adjustments or maintenance ensure that the machine is isolated and disconnected from the electricity supply. 1.
Maintenance Replacing Blades CAUTION! This procedure involves close contact with the planer blade. Ensure that gloves are worn at all times to prevent injury to the hands. Fig.6.2 A B To remove the planer knives 1. Disconnect the machine from the electricity supply. 2. Remove the jointer fence. C 3. Raise the cutterhead guard extrusion and pull it outwards fully. 4. Turn each of the four screws of the planer knife lockbar fully inwards. Fig.6.3 5. Remove the planer knife lockbar Fig.6.
Maintenance B: By using an aluminium straight edge Fig.6.6. Fig.6.6 1. Place the aluminium straight edge as shown over the outfeed table and cutterhead. 2. Turn the cutterblock by hand, one turn against the direction of feed. The planer knives are set correctly if the straight edge is moved forward 4 to 6mm by turning the cutterhead. This check must be performed at both ends of the cutterhead. 5.
Eletrical Requirements In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
