manual abstract
Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or the barrel will oscillate and vibrate causing poor planing action and possibly a machine breakdown. Tighten the clamping screws (8) carefully when attaching the blades to the planer. A loose clamping screw could be extremely dangerous. Regularly check to see they are tightened securely. NOTE. Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven unless the blades are set properly and securely. The blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, i.e. parallel to the surface of the rear base (10). The examples below show proper and improper settings: Correct setting • Front base (moveable shoe) (9) • Rear base (stationary shoe) (10) Clean smooth cut if required. 2. Slide the good blade face up into the blade support block of the blade barrel (7). NOTE. The ridge along the blade should be on the blade face on the opposite side to the clamping screws (8). 3. Tighten the clamping screws (8), ensuring they are tightened evenly. 4. Repeat for the second blade. 8 Nicks in surface – as caused by the edge of one or ablades not being parallGouging at start – as caused by the edge of one or ablades not protruding enough Gouging at end – as caused by the edge of one or alblades protruding too far in re(a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) (a)(b) ll el to the rear base line. ll in relation to the rear base line. l lation to the rear base line. Adjusting the depth of cut CAUTION. Always ensure that the tool is switched off and unplugged from the power supply before making adjustments or installing or removing blades. Rotate the depth adjustment knob (3) clockwise for a deeper cut and anti-clockwise for a shallower cut. The numbers on the ring under the depth adjustment knob indicate the depth of cut. Example, when “1” is next to the pointer on the front of the planer, the depth of cut is approximately 1mm. If it is necessary to accurately determine the depth of cut, plane a scrap piece of wood, measure the difference in thickness and adjust the setting if necessary. Switching on and off CAUTION. Before plugging the machine into the power socket always check that the on/off switch (1) and lock-off button (2) work properly. 1. Plug in the machine and grip the tool with your thumb on the on/off switch (1). 2. Push lock-off button (2) forward and press in the on/off switch (1) with the thumb of the hand gripping the tool. You can release the finger hold on the lock off button (2) once the planer has started. 3. To stop the tool, release the accidental operation of the planer. Only when you release the thumb hold on the on/off button (1) will the planer stop. Planing 1. Rest the front base (9) flat on the workpiece surface without the blades making any contact with the workpiece. 2. Switch on the tool and wait for the blades to reach full speed. 3. Move the tool gently forward, applying pressure on the front of the tool, using your hand on the secondary handle (14) at the start of planing and pressure at the rear of the tool, using your hand on the main handle (4) towards the end of the planing stroke. 4. Push the planer beyond the edge of the workpiece without tilting it downwards. NOTE. Planing is easier if you incline the workpiece slightly away from you so that you plane “downhill”. 5. The rate of planing and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish. For rough cutting, you can increase the depth of cut, however to achieve a good finish you will need to reduce the depth of cut and advance the tool more slowly. CAUTION. Moving the machine too fast may cause a poor quality of cut and can damage the blades or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may burn or mar the cut. The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the depth of the cut. Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and the cut dimensions. thumb hold on the on/off button (1). CAUTION. Always use two hands to hold the planer. 4. In order to restart the machine, it is necessary to operate CAUTION. Where possible, clamp the workpiece to both the lock-off button (2) and the on/off switch (1). the bench. This is an important safety feature that helps prevent 9 6. In between operations, you can rest the planer on a flat surface with the blade protection foot (13) hinged down to support the planer so that the blades are kept clear of the surface. 2 JN ??? MX294 Fig 71A B Chamfering and rebating 1. To make a chamfered or rebate cut as shown in fig.1, First align one of the three “v” grooves (fig.2) in the front base (9) of the planer with the corner edge of the workpiece. 2. Choose the “v” groove to suit the required depth of chamfer/ rebate. 3. Run the planer along the corner edge. Shavings extraction 1. Connect the shavings adaptor tube (11) to the dust/chip extraction port (5). 2. The adaptor tube (11) can be installed to allow shavings to flow either to the left or to the right of the workpiec...
