is also fitted with an emergency stop cover. To start
the machine, lift the emergency stop cover
(Pic.5) (5.1) and press green the ON button (Pic.5)
(5.2). To stop the machine, press the red OFF
button (Pic.5) (5.3). In the event of an emergency,
hit the emergency stop cover (Pic.5) (5.4),
this will switch the machine OFF and will
mechanically lock the emergency stop cover in
place preventing the machine from being switched
on until the mechanical lock has been released.
To release the mechanical lock depress the
emergency button and slide it upwards (Pic.5) (5.5).
OPERATION
Before making a cut, allow the machine to run up to
full speed. If the machine makes any unusual noise
or vibrates excessively, STOP the machine
immediately and investigate the cause
and rectify. If the cause cannot be identified DO
NOT use the machine and contact your nearest
service centre.
Measure the thickness of the material to be planed.
Using the height adjustment handle and the height
scale set the machine to the thickness of the
material (Pic.6). Before offering the
material into the machine carefully check the
material for Nails Screws or any other foreign
material which could damage the blades and injure
the operator.
For the initial cut it is recommended that the depth
of cut should be 1mm. Additional cuts can be made
up to a maximum of 2.5mm until the desired
thickness is achieved.
TIP: Taking smaller cuts will prolong the life of the
blades and the machine and will result in a better
finish.
POWERED IN FEED ROLLER
This machine is fitted with a powered in feed roller.
It is important that you allow the machine to reach
the desired speed then carefully feed the material
into the machine. Allow the powered in feed roller to
draw the timber into the machine. Do Not force the
work piece as this could overload the machine
causing damage to the motor. Support the work
piece at all times especially at the start and end of
the cut, this will prevent an uneven finish. If
the work piece is long, ensure that it is supported as
it exits the machine. When the desired thickness is
achieved, switch off the machine and remove the
plug from the mains supply.
When finished with the machine remove all
shavings and dust from the machine and
surrounding work area and dispose of
them safely as an accumulation of shavings and
dust can cause a fire Hazard.

BLADE REPLACEMENT

Note: Be always careful when handling with blades:
planer blades are sharp even if they are not planned
and require sharpening or replacement.
BLADE REMOVAL (PICS.7 TO 10)
When the blades require replacing, both blades
must be replaced at the same time and must be of
the same type. Only blades recommended by the
supplier should be used.
Remove the chip collector cover by removing the 4x
retaining screws and washers (Pic.7).
WARNING: Ensure that the machine is switched off
and disconnected from the mains supply before
carrying out any cleaning maintenance or blade
replacement.
Remove the 6x blade retaining bolts using the
wrench provided ensuring that the lock washers are
retained. If difficulty is experienced removing the 2
outer bolts a suitable sized socket can be used
(Pic.8). Remove the blade clamp and set to one
side Remove the blade complete with the blade
mounting plate (Pic.9). Remove the 2x retaining
screws and separate the blade from the blade
mounting plate (Pic.10) Carefully rotate
the spindle through 180° and repeat the process for
the other blade.
NEW BLADE SETTING (PICS.11&12)
Locate the blade on the blade setting jig and align
the two elongated holes in the blade (Pic.11) with
the 2 large cut-outs in the setting jig. Locate the
blade mounting plate onto the setting jig as show in
(Pic.12) ensuring that the 2 x threaded holes are
aligned with the 2 x elongated holes in the blade.
Secure the blade to the blade mounting plate by
replacing the 2 x screws and lock washers ensuring
that they are fully tightened.
Note the lock washers must be used at all times to
prevent the screws from vibrating loose and causing
damage to the machine and injury to the operator.
REFITTING THE BLADES
Before re-assembly of the blades ensure that all
mating surfaces and threaded holes are clean and
free from dust and foreign objects Replacement of
the blades is a reversal of the blade removal
procedure.
BLADE SHARPENING (PICS.13&14)
Note due to the size of the blades it is recom
mended that the services of a professional blade
sharpening company be employed.
To sharpen the blades attach the blades to the
sharpening guide one on either side using the
screws provided see (Pic.13).
When sharpening the blades ensure that both
blades are kept in contact with the sharpening stone
at the same angle see (Pic.14).
CARBON BRUSH REPLACEMENT (PICS.15&16)
Carbon brushes must always be replaced as a pair.
Only use brushes recommended by the supplier.
When the brushes become worn or damaged and
require replacing.
Locate the two brush caps located on either side of
the motor housing see (Pic.15).
Unscrew the covers and remove the worn brushes,
replace the brushes with the spare set provided and
replace the cover (Pic.16).
BELT REPLACEMENT (PICS.17&19)
The drive belt is located behind the lateral cover on
the side of the height adjustment handle. Remove
the height adhustment handle. Remove the 4
hexagonal screws fixing the top cover (Pic. 17) and
lift the top cover together with two lateral covers.
