Setting Up the Machine

Approximate assembly and setup time: 10 min

5.1 Unpacking
When unpacking, separate the machine and all supplied parts from the packaging materials. Check that no parts have been damaged. If damage has occurred as a result of transport, contact your supplier immediately.

5.2 Assembly
Make enough space around the machine before you start the assembly. The machine is partially assembled. The cutterhead height adjustment crank and dust port must be installed before operation.

1. Place the cutterhead height adjustment crank (A) on the protrusion and secure with M5 8×20 screw and 5 mm washer. Do not tighten by force.
2. Install the crank cap (B).
3. Slide the dust port (A) onto the fan cover. Secure the dust port with bolt and nut.

Direct mount

A – wood screw
B – flat washer
C – machine base
D – workbench

Dust Collection
Recommended airflow at dust port: 255 m³/h (150 CFM).
Do not confuse this recommended airflow with the airflow of a dust collector. To determine the airflow at the dust port, you must consider the following variables: (1) dust collector airflow rating, (2) the extraction hose type and the distance between the collector and the machine, (3) the number of branches and turns, (4) the number of additional paths throughout the dust collection system. Calculation of these variables is beyond the scope of this manual. Consult an expert.

You can connect the machine to a dust collection system instead of the dust bag.

Connecting the extraction hose:

1. Remove dust bag from the dust port.
2. Fit 63 mm extraction hose to the dust port and secure with hose clamp.
3. Ensure that the hose is tightly attached.

5.3 Setup

Setting the Depth of Cut
The depth of cut indicates the amount of material removed. Adjust the depth of cut by rotating the cutterhead height adjustment crank. Each full turn of the crank changes the height by 1,6 mm. Turning the crank clockwise lowers the cutterhead. Turning the crank counterclockwise raises the cutterhead.
Although the correct depth of cut varies according to hardness of the wood and the size of the workpiece, we do not recommend the maximum depth of cut to exceed 1,6 mm per pass. More passes with lower depth of cut will produce better end results and willnot overload the machine. The depth of cut indicator should only verify the depth of cut and should not be used as a precision gauge. The cutterhead height adjustment crank has a slight backlash when making a first turn. This should be taken into account when adjusting the cutterhead height.

Down – lowering the cutterhead
Up – raising the cutterhead

1/4 turn = 0,4 mm
1/2 turn = 0,8 mm
3/4 turn = 1,2 mm
1 turn = 1,6 mm

Removing the Top Cover and Side Panels

The same disassembly must be done for several maintenance/setup procedures. To remove following tools are needed: hex key 4 mm, 5 mm, flat head screwdriver 4 mm.

1. Remove depth stop from the machine. The stop is securely mounted and may require greater force to remove.
2. Remove the cutterhead height adjustment crank. Remove the lock ring from the crank shaft.
3. Remove the cutterhead lock lever using the hex key.
4. Remove four screws on the top cover using the hex key. Remove the top cover and side panel with the depth stop.
5. Once maintenance/setup is complete, reassemble the side panel, top cover and lock ring, attach the crank, stop and lever.

Depth Stop Setup
Depth stop (A) on the right side of the machine allows you to preset the depth of cut for consistent repeat planing. The scale (B) indicates the workpiece thickness. Raise the cutterhead, select preferred thickness by rotating the stop, then lower the cutterhead until it rests on the preset stop. Do not use excessive force on the stop. Depth Stop Calibration
To calibrate following tools are needed: wrench 10 mm; hex key 3 mm, 4 mm, 5 mm

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply!
2. Remove the top cover and side panel, see Removing the Top Cover and Side Panels.
3. Loosen the nut (B) and adjust the height adjustment screw (A) – up to increase / down to decrease the depth of cut.
4. Tighten the nut.
5. Attach the side panel, crank and depth stop. Turn the height adjustment crank until the cutterhead rests on the stop. Compare the stop scale with the cutterhead height scale.
6. Repeat steps 3-5 until both scales match.
7. Once calibration is complete, reassemble the top cover, lock ring and cutterhead lock lever.

Cutterhead Lock Lever

The pressure that the lever (D) exerts on columns (A) can be adjusted. The lever must exert even pressure on both columns to achieve consistent planing. To adjust following tools are needed: wrench 8 mm, hex key 4 mm, 5 mm.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply!
2. Release the cutterhead and lower it all the way down.
3. Remove the top cover and side panel, see Removing the Top Cover and Side Panels. This will reveal eccentric mechanism on each side of the machine.
4. Use the screw (B) and nut (C) to adjust the pressure. Turning the screw towards the column decreases pressure, turning away from the column increases the pressure. Turn both bolts evenly.
5. Locking the cutterhead should then be easy. Once locked, the cutterhead should not move even if you turn the height adjustment crank. Never use force to adjust the cutterhead height, especially when it is locked!

Cutterhead Height Scale

The scale is correctly set at the factory and can be calibrated if necessary.

1. Prepare a piece of wood with same thickness on both sides. This piece will act as a reference.
2. Use calliper to measure the thickness.
3. If there is a difference between the thickness of the piece and reading on the scale, loosen the screw (B) and adjust the position of the red arrow (A) correctly. Then retighten the screw. Feed Rate
   This machine has one feed rate set from the factory. The value is specified in the Specification section. Infeed and outfeed rollers move the workpiece through the machine and simultaneously push it onto the table.

Aligning the Table
Folding tables height can be adjusted. Check the height periodically to ensure proper contact between the workpiece and the cutterhead. To align following tools are needed: 2x wrench 10 mm, ruler or a straight piece of wood.

1. Check the alignment of the table with a ruler.
2. To align, loosen the bolts (A) and nuts (B) under folding tables. Bolt and nut are located on both the left and right side.
3. Loosen the nut on the left and right side and adjust the height of the table by turning the bolt. Check the alignment.
4. Once the table is aligned, tighten the nut.

Aligning the Cutterhead and Table
Cutterhead and table alignment is correctly set at the factory and can be adjusted if necessary. To align following tools are needed:
hex key 4 mm, 2 workpieces with minimum length 305 mm. The workpieces must have the same height.

1. Disconnect the machine from the power supply!
2. Place the workpieces on each side of the table. Lower the cutterhead until it rests on the workpieces. Accurate alignment is only achieved when both workpieces have exactly the same height.
3. Check the contact between the cutterhead and the workpieces. If the cutterhead rests on both workpieces evenly, no adjustment is needed. If the cutterhead rests only on one workpiece, continue with step 4.
4. Lock the cutterhead (using the lock lever), then loosen the cutterhead adjustment screws (A) on the left side of the cutterhead.
5. Raise or lower the cutterhead using the height adjustment crank until it rests on both workpieces evenly.
6. Tighten the screws and release the cutterhead (using the lock lever).
7. Raise the cutterhead slightly then lower it until it rests on both workpieces evenly. If the cutterhead still does not rest on both workpieces evenly, repeat steps 3-6.
8. Test the alignment by planing any workpiece. Check whether the workpiece is planed evenly.

5.4 Operation
Warning! If you are inexperienced with this type of machine, it is strongly recommended that you seek further instructions outside this manual.

1. Check whether the workpiece is suitable for planing.

2. Wear personal protective equipment such as goggles, respirator, earmuffs or face shield.

3. Place the workpiece on the table and adjust the cutterhead according to the workpiece thickness and depth of cut.

4. If all safety guidelines have been met, turn on the machine.

5. Stand on one side of the machine. Slowly feed the workpiece into the machine until the feed roller start to move it further.
   Warning! Infeed and outfeed rollers control the feed rate. Never push or pull the workpiece. If the cut is too deep and the machine stalls, reduce the depth of cut immediately.

6. The outfeed roller pushes the workpiece out of the machine. Once the workpiece stops moving, remove it. If you repeat plane, use the return rollers.

7. Switch the machine off and disconnect it from the power supply when you have finished.

Wood Types

Wood type and its condition significantly affect the depth of cut the machine can handle without any issues.
The table below shows the so-called Janka hardness scale of the most commonly used wood types. The higher the number, the harder the wood, and the less material should be removed per pass.

Maintenance and Inspection

Caution! Disconnect the machine from the power supply before maintenance and inspection. Carry out maintenance regularly.
Before each use, check for loose screws, damaged knives and damaged or worn out cord and plug. Do not use the machine until all defects have been fixed.
