ASSEMBLY
Unpacking
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise
yourself with all its features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good
condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such
parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Bench mounting
• Set up the unit on a firm,
flat surface so that the
table is horizontal and the
unit cannot tip over
• When siting the tool in a
permanent position, ensure
that it is fixed to a rigid
work surface
1. Use the holes in the base
of the planer/thicknesser 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 portable, fix
a board to the base which can be easily clamped and
removed from various mounting surfaces
3. Ensure bolts are long enough to penetrate the
workbench or board sufficiently for a secure fix
