OPERATION
A. Planing
ENSURE the timber is completely free of nails, screws and staples etc., before use.
1. Set the depth of cut, using the Depth of Cut Setting Knob - see Fig.1. Turn
anticlockwise to increase the cutting depth, clockwise to decrease, using the
scale, indicated in Fig. 5, as a reference. For theinitial cut, we recommend a
depth of cut of no more than 1mm. The maximum depth of cut is 2mm.
2. Ensure the fence is at the correct angle - for normal planing, this would be 90
degrees. For other angles, use a template or angle gauge for greater accuracy.
3. Slide the cutter guard out of the
way and place the workpiece on
the table so that it rests snugly
against the fence, with the lead
edge a short distance from the
cutter, noting that direction of
feed is right to left, looking from
the front of the machine.
4. Slide the cutter guard up to lightly
touch the workpiece as shown
in Fig.5, thereby completely
covering any exposed cutter.
Ensure the guard is as low as possible and the Cutter Guard Lock Knob is tightened.
.
Raise the cover of the ON/OFF switch and press the green ON button, marked
5
'I', and allow the machine to come up to full speed.
6.
Applying firm downwards pressure, and keeping the workpiece against the
fence, proceed to feed the work over the cutter. Do not feed too quickly
IMPORTANT.
When coming to the end of a piece,
ALWAYS use the push stick to finish - see
Fig.6. This is an important safety point.
7.
To switch OFF, simply press the red
button marked 'O' and close the
cover ensuring it is properly latched.
When finished, remove all shavings and
sawdust
from
the
surrounding area and dispose of safely, accumulation of dust and shavings is a
fire hazard and should not be allowed to build up.
NOTES :
1.
In case of emergency, hit the switch cover firmly and quickly. The cover will
latch down and motor will be switched OFF.
2.
The ON/OFF switch is a "No Volt Release" type , so that in the event of a power
failure, the machine will not restart automatically once the power is restored.
ALWAYS use Supports for long
pieces - Roller Stands etc.
