Thicknesser - planer - mortiser
Warning
1 Always make sure there is no tool left in the mortising chuck before starting up the planer-
thicknesser.
2 Check very carefully whether the planer knives are well positioned and fastened. If this is not the
case, they will come off when the machine is started and this could lead to serious injuries for the
operator and damage the machine.
Changing and setting of the planer knives (g. 24)
1 Unlock the bolts (1) in the jib strip and remove the planer knives
2 Remove the 3 jib strips and clean the grooves inside the planer arbor. Make sure the little springs
(2) underneath the knives do not stay blocked inside their seats in the arbor
3 Never use planer knives which have less than 20 mm height
4 Put the cleaned planer knife (3) into the groove with the adjustment gauge (X428)
5 Tighten the bolts from the middle of the arbour to the outside
6 Do a trial run of the machine and then tighten the knives again.
Adjustment of the planer tables (g. 25)
1 The out feed planer table has to be set at exactly the same height as the planer knives.
2 A simple way of checking the correct height of this out feed table is to put a 100 % straight piece
of wood onto the out feed table, just above the planer knives. Both tables have a clamp handle
(1) and an adjustment knob (2).
3 To adjust the table in height, use the adjustment knob (2)
4 During this adjustment, turn the planer arbor by hand and see if the planer knife touches the
piece of wood.
5 After the adjustment in height the table has to be blocked again.
6 The chip removal is adjusted through the height of the in feed table and can be max. 4 mm.
7 After the adjustment, block the table again.
8 The opening of the table happens by means of loosening the handles and opening the tables.
9 The tables are automatically clamped when they are open for planning. To undo the clamping,
simply pull the knob (3) down and close the table.
