WARNING: Do not place your body between the
workpiece and a stationary structure while the
material is feeding out. Personal injury and/or
damage to the work piece may occur.
TWISTED, CUPPED AND BOWED WOOD
If both sides of your material are very rough or if the
material is cupped, bowed or twisted, the planer may not
produce the desired result. Ideally, you should have at
least one level face/surface on your material before you
plane. Your thickness planer will work best with material
that has been run through a jointer to produce one flat
surface. If you do not have at least one flat surface or a
jointer, see the following recommendations:
To Plane Twisted Wood (Fig. M–O)
WARNING: twisted wood may jam your thickness
planer. If a jam occurs, turn the power off, disconnect
the power supply and raise the carriage to release
the material from the cutterhead.
To Plane Only Slightly Twisted Material (Fig. M):
Plane both sides alternating from one to the other until the
desired thickness is reached.
To Plane Cupped Wood (Fig. N)
To obtain the best possible results with cupped wood:
Rip the material down the middle and plane it as two
separate pieces.
NOTE: Ripping the material reduces the severity of the
cup and allows the machine to deliver better results. More
material will be removed on cupped wood to achieve the
desired thickness than on a normal board.
If Ripping the Material is not an Option:
Plane one side of the material until flat, then plane the
opposite side until flat (refer to Fig. O).
NOTE: Do not flip the board back and forth between each
pass as recommended by the general planing directions.
To Plane Bowed Wood (Fig. P)
The feed rollers and cutterhead in your planer will push
the bow out of the material as it feeds. When the material
exits the planer, the pressure of the rollers and cutterhead
will release allowing the wood to spring back into a bowed
formation. To properly remove the bow, use a jointer.
MAINTENANCE
Your STANLEY power tool has been designed to operate
over a long period of time with a minimum of maintenance.
Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper tool
care and regular cleaning.
♦ Regularly clean the ventilation slots in your tool using a
soft brush or dry cloth.
40
♦ Regularly clean the motor housing using a damp cloth.
Do not use any abrasive or solvent-based cleaner.This
machine is not user-serviceable. If problems occur contact
an authorised repair agent.
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1. Routinely check the tool for damage or broken parts.
2. Clean the unit of dust and debris that has collected
in all accessible areas of the planer from planning
wood material.
3. Wipe off infeed and outfeed rollers.
4. Clean base table. Light waxing will help wood material
pass through the planer.
5. Evaluate blade sharpness condition. Replace
as necessary.
6. Gauge Calibration, check thickness gauge calibration
and turret stop calibration.
7. Check brushes for wear and replace as necessary.
CHANGING BLADES (FIG. Q–U)
WARNING: use only cutting blades designed for
this machine.
WARNING: Wear gloves when changing blades
because of sharp edges.
Your STP18 is equipped with a cutterhead which
holds two blades. For new blades contact STANLEY or an
authorised service organisation.
WARNING: Sharp edges.
WARNING: The blades can be re-sharpened max.
3 mm down from their original size. If the blade size
has decreased by more than 3 mm, the blades
have to be replaced. The blades can be re-sharpened at 42 °.
REMOVING THE BLADES (FIG. Q–U)
1. Adjust the depth of cut to approx. 75 mm.
2. Loosen the screws (24) , then rotate and remove the
dust extraction adaptor (18).
3. Remove the two hex screws (29) (Fig. Q) and
carefully remove the tool tray (21) to expose the blades.
4. Carefully rotate the cutterhead (34) (Fig. T) until the
first blade becomes visible.
5. Loosen the seven blade clamping screws (30) , (32)
(Fig. R) using the wrench supplied.
6. Remove the blade from the cutterhead for
re-sharpening or replacement.
7. Press the cutterhead locking lever (33) (Fig. S) and
slowly rotate the cutterhead until the other blade can
be removed.
