Thicknesser adjustment (fig.29)
The rise and fall of the thicknesser can be adjusted with the handwheel. One turn of the
handwheel equals 4 mm.
After setting the height, the thicknesser table has to be locked with the lever.
When after intensive use of the locking lever it is no longer possible to lock it, take off the nut
which holds the lever and remove the lever.
Then turn the lever 1/6 turn to the left and put it back on and tighten it again.
The table height cutting depht setting has to be adjusted in such way that there is always 1
mm minimum clearance between the top of the wood and the connection bar between the two
bearing houses.
Always ensure that the anti-kickback fingers are kept clean and hang down freely in position
under there own weight.
The feeding mechanism can be engaged sipmly by unlocking the lever and pulling it up.The
feeding trough speed is 6 m/min.
In case of overloading the feeding mechanism, the feed rollers must be disengaged
immediately by pushing down the lever.
Most likely the cutting depth setting is too big. Lower the table ½ turn with the handwheel
and start all over again
IMPORTANT
A smooth table surface is essential for good operation of the thicknesser.
Therefore the table should be cleaned and rubbed in with normal white paraffin wax regulary.
A roller support should be used when long workpieces have to be machined.
