6. Initial Operation

6.1

Machine Installation

To keep the machine from "wandering"
caused by vibrations or to prevent tip-
ping over, the machine must be bolted to
a work bench, work stand or similar firm
support.
3
Note:
When installing the machine sta-
tionary, keep in mind that there must be
sufficient space in front and behind the
machine to work long work pieces.
1. Drill holes into supporting surface,
where necessary.
Put bolts (40) through from the top
2.
und secure from below with nuts.

When the machine is to be used mobile:
Bolt machine to the work stand (41)

Alternative installation:
1. Fasten thicknessing machine to a
sheet of 3/4 " (19 mm) plywood. This
sheet should project on each side of
the machine base approx. 4 inch
(100 mm). Make sure that the fixing
screws do not jut out on the under-
side of the plywood sheet.
2. At the job site, clamp the plywood
sheet with G-cramps to a work
bench, work stand or similar sup-
port.
6.2 Aligning the Infeed and
Outfeed Tables
To achieve an optimal planing result, all
bearing surface must be level with each
other.
3
Note:
Before
check to see that the bearing surfaces of
the centre table, infeed table and out-
feed table are level with each other.
A Cutting hazard when touching
the rotating cutterblock!
Accidental starting of the machine
may cause serious injury.
Always unplug before making any
adjustments to the machine!
Fold down both infeed (42) and out-

feed table (44).
Put a straight board (45), try square,

straight edge or similar across the
infeed and outfeed table.

If readjustment is necessary:
3. Fold both infeed and outfeed table
up.
Loosen lock nut (46) on both stop
4.
screws (47).
Adust both stop screws (47), until
5.
the infeed table (or outfeed table) is
on a level with the centre table (43)
of the thicknessing machine.

6. Fold down the infeed table (or out-
feed table) and recheck, if the bear-
ing surfaces are now on a level with
each other.
7. When infeed and outfeed table are
properly aligned, secure all stop
screws (47) with the lock nuts (46).

Dust Collector

Danger!
A
Some types of wood dust (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) can cause cancer
when inhaled. To minimize
adverse effect of wood dust, you are
stronlgy advised to connect a suita-
ble dust collector to the machine
when working indoors. The dust col-
lector must comply with the follow-
ing:
− fitting the diameter of the dust
extraction connector:
− 2 1/2" (64 mm), or
− 4" (102 mm);
≥
− air flow volume
460 m
− vacuum at the dust extraction
≥
connector 530 Pa;
− air speed at dust extraction con-
≥
nector 20 m/ s.
Follow the operating instructions sup-
plied with the dust collector as well!
