Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate
dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting
these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise
skin contact.
a) Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than (a dimension
equal to the cutter head length plus 2"), narrower than ¾", or less than
¼" thick.
b) Do not perform planing operations on material shorter than (a dimension
equal to the cutter head length plus 2"), narrower than ¾", or wider than
(the cutter capacity in inches) or thinner than ½".
c) Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and
cutter head knife path.
d) Support the work piece adequately at all times during operation; maintain
control of the work at all times.
e) Do not back the work toward the infeed table.
f) Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or little-used operation without
study, or without the use of adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs,
fixtures, stops, etc.

Before Use

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any adjustments, inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the
rollercase and its sub-components.
Bench mounting
• Set up the unit on a firm, flat surface so the table is horizontal and the unit
cannot tip over
• If the planer/thicknesser is to be used in a permanent position, it is
recommended that it is secured to a rigid work surface, as follows:
1. Use the holes in the base of the planer/thicknesser (Image A) as a template
to mark and drill four holes in your intended mounting surface (i.e.
workbench). Secure the unit in position using large bolts, washers and nuts
(not supplied)
2. If the planer/thicknesser is intended to be more portable, fix a board to the
base which can be easily clamped and removed from various mounting
surfaces
3. If using bolts, make sure they are long enough to penetrate the workbench
or board sufficiently for a secure fix
Crank Handle Installation
Mount the Crank Handle (9) in position (see main image) on the right hand side
of the planer:
1. Thread the spring washer onto the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt (7)
2. Fit the Crank Handle onto the elevation screw (Image B)
3. Use the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt to secure the Crank Handle in
position. Use the Hex Key (15) to tighten the bolt
4. Insert the Crank Handle Fixing Cap (8) to conceal the fixing
Attach the dust chute
The Dust Chute (5) can be mounted for extraction of waste at either end of
the planer
1. Use the 2 x Dust Chute Thumb Screws (6) to mount the dust chute onto the
Rollercase (1) using the Dust Chute Fixing Positions (18) (Image C)
2. Having fixed the chute in position, connect the extraction system hose
3. Turn the extraction system on before operating the planer
Checking the Rollercase is level
• The Rollercase (1) is aligned and checked in the factory. However, it can
become out of alignment during shipping and handling
• If the Rollercase is not level with the Centre Table (11), this will result in a
tapered cut where the thickness on one side of the workpiece is different
from the other. It can also cause uneven wear of the blade
• Check the blades are aligned correctly with a test run: run two pieces
through each side (left and right) of the planer
• Measure and compare results to check the blades are correctly aligned
and/or to determine the amount of correction required
• If the blades need to be re-aligned, see 'Maintenance – Re-aligning the
Rollercase' for guidance
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any adjustments, inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the
Rollercase and its sub-components.
Important guidance for the safe use of this tool
• Disconnect the machine from power source whenever adjusting or
replacing any parts
• Ensure the ON/OFF Switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting the
tool to mains power
