1. Remove fence carrier support
bracket (60) from fence carrier (57).
Take care not to loose the two guide
pins (61) in the fence carrier support
bracket.
2. Fasten fence carrier support bracket

3. Attach fence carrier to fence carrier
support bracket again.
4. Slide two carriage bolts (62) into the
fence extrusion (63) and attach to
fence carrier with two self-locking
hexagon nuts (58).
5. Fit extrusion end caps (64) to both
ends of the fence extrusion.
6. Screw the cover plates (55) together
and fasten to fence carrier using two
crosshead screws (56).
7. Adjust the two set screws so that the
positive stops of the jointer fence are
set exactly to 45° and 90° (use try
and mitre squares).
5.7 Power-supply connec-
tion
B
Danger!
High voltage
Operate in dry environment only.
Operate machine only on a power
source matching the following
requirements (see also "Technical
Specications"):
 fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
 outlets properly installed,
earthed or grounded, and tested;
 5-wire three-phase outlets with
neutral lead.
 When a dust collector is used it
must also be properly earthed.
Position power supply cable so it
does not interfere with the work and
is not damaged.
Protect power supply cable from
heat, aggressive liquids and sharp
edges.
Use only extension cables with a suf-
ficient lead cross section.
Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.
B
Check direction of rotation!
(machines with 3-phase motor only):
Depending onthe phase sequence
the cutterblock may turn in the wrong
direction. This can cause damage to
the machine and work piece. It is
56
therefore necessary to check the
direction of rotation after initial com-
57
missioning and every time the
58
machine is connected to a different
outlet.
If the direction of rotation is incorrect
59
the phases must be changed on the
supply line or mains connection by
an electrician.

6. Operation

61
The planer/thicknesser HC 260 can
either be operated as surface planer or
thickness planer:
6.1

Surface planer mode

Note:
Surface planing is used to level an
uneven surface (= jointing), for exam-
ple the edges of a plank.
 The work piece rests on top of the
infeed table.
 The work piece is cut on the under-
side.
 The feed direction for the work piece
is exactly opposite than that for
thickness planing.

Danger!
Always unplug before servicing!
1. Turn setting screw (65) clockwise to
the end position.

2. Swing chip chute down.
3. Turn both left and right lock lever
outwards.
4. Place outfeed table (66) on machine
– both pins on the machine housing
must engage in the lower slots of the
outfeed table guide.
3
Note:
The pins must trigger the end switch.
Only then the machine can be
switched on.

5. Secure outfeed table (66) with both
lock levers (67).
6. Set the infeed table to 2.0 to 2.5 mm
by turning the height adjustment.
7. Crank thicknesser bed up to 120 mm
height.
8. Place dust collector connector (this
is not the chip chute mentioned in
step 1!) below the infeed table into
the machine. Observe correct posi-
tion of the dust collector connector:
 suction port points outwards;
