Replacing And Regulating Straight Blades - Virutex WEGOMA Manual De Instrucciones

The front shoe also permits the cutting depth to be
adjusted up to 3 mm. The planer is also equipped with
a lateral fence; double use, hard metal, replaceable
blades; a safety switch, and a dust collector connection.
5. LATERAL FENCE
Place the lateral fence L in position and secure with
knob P (Fig. 1).
It is advisable to work with the lateral fence mounted
whenever possible to ensure perpendicularity between
the face of the piece and the blade cut.
6. ADJUSTMENTS
PLANING CONCAVE SURFACES
Approximation planing:
Draw a line of reference R, for approximation planing
(Fig. 2).
Set the cut depth to "0" using knob C (Fig. 2).
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 planing
(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).
10
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 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. 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 Figures 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.
