Replacing And Regulating Straight Blades - Virutex CE96H Manual De Instrucciones

Set the shoe and the base to a radius slightly lower
than the radius to be planed using knobs A and B
(Fig. 2).
Set the shoe to the desired cut depth using knob
C (Fig. 2).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in section 5 (Fig. 1).
Plane out irregularities using the shoe surface as a
support to commence cutting and move successively
along the areas with irregularities towards the line
of reference.
Finish planing:
To plane a concave surface with uniform thickness or
to give a continuous finish to a close planed surface as
described in the previous section, proceed as follows:
Set the cut depth to "0" using knob C (Fig. 3).
Loosen knobs A and B which secure the shoe and the
base. Place the planer on the surface to be worked so
that the shoe and the base adapt to the surface, and
secure them in the desired position using knobs A
and B (Fig. 3). Check that the slipper and the base are
parallel, making sure that the same division is shown
over straps L (Fig. 10) on both sides of the planer.
Adjust the cut depth to the desired level using knob
C (Fig. 3).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in section 5
(Fig.1).
To plane the piece, use the shoe surface as a support
guide to commence cutting and gradually widen the
support to the entire base.
PLANING CONVEX SURFACES
Approximation planing:
Draw a line of reference R, for approximation plan-
ing (Fig. 4).
Loosen knob A, set the cut depth to "0" using knob
C and secure the shoe in a horizontal position once
again using knob A (Fig. 4). Place the machine on the
piece to be planed. Give the base a slightly higher
radius than that of the piece to be planed and secure
it in position using knob B (Fig. 4).
Set the desired cut depth using knob C (Fig. 4).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in section 5
(Fig. 1).
To plane out irregularities by area, use the shoe or
base surface as a support to commence cutting. Once
on the piece, modify the plane position slightly so
that it is supported on the ends of the shoe and the
base, closest to the blades as seen in (Fig. 4).
Finish planing:
To plane a convex surface with uniform thickness or
to give a continuous finish to a close planed surface as
described in the previous section, proceed as follows:
Set the cut depth to "0" using knob C (Fig. 5).
Loosen knobs A and B which secure the shoe and the
base. Place the planer on the surface to be worked,
adapting the shoe and the base to the radius of the
piece, securing them in the desired position using
knobs A and B, respectively (Fig. 5). Check that slip-
per and the base are parallel, making sure that the
same division is shown over straps L (Fig. 10) on both
sides of the planer.
Adjust the cut depth to the desired level using knob
C (Fig. 5).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in section 5
(Fig. 1).
To plane the piece, use the shoe surface as a support
guide to commence cutting and gradually widen the
support to the entire base.
PLANING FLAT SURFACES
Loosen knobs A and B (Fig. 6) to release the front
shoe and the base from the curvature straps.
Set the shoe to "0" using knob C (Fig. 6).
Place the planer on the flat surface. Pressing the rear
part of the base so that it adapts to the horizontal
plane, secure knob B (Fig. 6). Set the shoe to the
desired cut depth using knob C and secure knob A
in this position (Fig. 6).
PLANING WITH CONCAVE BLADES (Optional)
To give surfaces a rustic, old-fashioned finish that
looks identical to an adze finish.
Getting the planer ready
Mount the concave blades as shown in Figs. 11 to 16.
Position the base and shoe of the machine, as if
you were about to plane a concave surface (Fig. 2).
Place the shoe at its maximum cutting depth.
Rustic planing
To carry out a planing job that will leave concave
marks in the lumber, position the planer on the
lumber so that it is leaning against the front end of
the shoe. Then switch it on and swing it downwards.
When it reaches the end of the shoe, the blades
will begin to cut the lumber. At this point, stop the
swinging motion and move the planer lengthways
so as to lengthen the cutting mark in the lumber.
Then start the swinging motion once again until the
blade leaves the cut.
7. REPLACING AND REGULATING
STRAIGHT BLADES
Disconnect the machine from the
power source before performing the
following operations.
