Fit the Rear Clamp (10) to the chassis using a long M6
screw, washer and hex nut. Fit the wing knob and tighten
the clamp into a location which allows the clamp to align
with the planer handle (Fig. 6). Flip the orientation of the
clamp if necessary. If a suitable location cannot be found,
relocate the clamp into the lower slot and position it
further down the handle.
Tension the clamp until it just touches the planer (Fig.6).
Do not overtighten as this will skew the planer alignment.
Fit the Handle Bracket (11) over the planer handle and
fasten it to the chassis using the short M6 Screws (12),
Large Washers (13), and M6 Flange Nuts (14). Ensure the
planer is flat on your work table, then hold the bracket
against the planer handle and tighten into position with a
Phillips screwdriver (Fig 7).

Fit the Handle Clamp (15) to the handle bracket using the
short M6 Screws (12), Washers (7), and M6 Flange Nuts
(14). Pull the handle clamp up and across until it firmly
surrounds the planer handle, then tighten into position
(Fig. 8).

Tighten the rear clamp half to one turn to push the planer
handle snugly into the clamp assembly. Check that there
GB
is no free movement of the handle, and repeat the above
steps if necessary.

Place a straight edge across the base of the rear shoe, to
check it is level with the chassis (Fig. 9).
There should be a 2-3mm gap between the straight edge
and either side of the chassis. Ensure the gap is identical
on either side by adjusting the position of the rear and
front clamps.
With your planer shoes still set exactly in line use a
straight edge down the length of the chassis and measure
from the square tubes at each end of the chassis to check
that the planer is parallel (Fig. 10).
Fig. 10
The reading at the rear should be equal or 1-2mm
less than the front, but should never be greater. Make
adjustments to the handle bracket assembly (repeat Figs
7 and 8) until you are satisfied with the alignment. Note: if
your workpiece binds between the planer shoe and
fence / jig during operation a 1-2mm offset of the rear
shoe (as stated above) will eliminate this.
Re-check that the planer is level across the chassis
(Fig. 9) and make any necessary adjustments.
FITTING TO THE WORKCENTRE
Remove the Workcentre table and turn it upside down.
Insert the M6 Flange nuts (14) into the underside of the
Nut Carriers (16) so that it locates fully inside the cavity
(Fig. 11)
With the flange of the nut facing up (toward you), insert
the nut carriers into the slots in the front and rear table
reinforcing ribs. They can be inserted from either side of
the slot (Fig. 11).
