When you use the appliance in planing mode :
ALWAYS use the 2 pushers to handle the workpiece safely (Fig Q).
9.3 Thicknessing function (Fig. A & H)
Standing with the power switch (13) side as the front the direction of feed is left to right.
9.3.1 Use the thicknessing height lever (8) to adjust the height of the thicknessing table
(17) to match the work piece.
▪ The maximum depth of cut when thicknessing is 2mm. A feed height restrictor bar
prevents a cut of more than 2mm being made.
▪ Standing in front of the machine, hold the work piece so it is flat against the thicknessing
table (17) and gently push it to the right.
▪ Release the work piece when you feel the drive roller take hold and feed it past the knives.
9.3.2 Move around to the other end of the machine to support the piece by hand as a
second drive roller feeds it out of the machine.
▪ Repeat as many times as necessary to achieve the required dimensions of the piece.
▪ Each pass, rotate the thicknessing height lever (8) clockwise one turn to raise the bed by
2mm.
▪ The actual dimension can be read from the thickness scale (a).
▪ The out-feed end of the thicknessing table (18) has a extendable support (19) that can be
extended to support the work piece as it emerges.
When you use the appliance in thicknessing mode :
▪ This machine is equipped with in feed rollers: the piece of wood will be automatically fed.
▪ To ensure smooth sliding, the in feed tables must be regularly lubricated.
▪ Avoid using wet wood.
▪ Regularly remove and clean away wood chips using caution.
▪ Avoid using pieces that are too small.
▪ Place the piece to be worked on the in feed table and progressively advance the piece to
be worked.
▪ Warning! Advancing the piece too quickly generates burrs.
