13. Use in-feed and out-feed rollers or supports when working with
long workpieces
14. For precision woodworking, measure the thickness of the
workpiece with calipers or a digital thickness gauge after each
pass

Maintenance
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before
carrying out any inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut-proof gloves when
handling the Rollercase (1) and its sub-components.
Note: Any damage to this tool should be repaired and carefully
inspected before use, by qualified repair personnel.
Note: Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety
of the power tool is maintained.
• This tool is manufactured using class leading components and
makes use of the latest in intelligent circuitry that protects the
tool and its components. In normal use it should provide a long
working life
Cleaning & lubrication
• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause
internal parts to wear quickly, and shorten the machine's service
life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush or dry
cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through
the ventilation holes
• After use, vacuum the thicknesser machine to remove wood
chips, sawdust and debris
• Use a cleaning solution (not included) to remove resin and
grease residue
• Remove sawdust, wood chips and grease from chains and gears
• The bearings in motor and cutter head units are factory-sealed
and should require no further lubrication
• Four components require regular lubrication:
• Rollercase vertical screw mechanism (x2)
• Rollercase lock cam
• Rollercase vertical rails (x4)
• Feed roller chain drive
• Remove the top and both side panels to access these
components
• Clean the chain drive before lubrication. Use spray oil (not
included) to lubricate the chain. Allow time for the lubricant to
penetrate between the links, then wipe the surface of the chain
dry
• Remove any residues of grease from the other components,
using mineral spirits if necessary, then apply a coat of light grade
multi-purpose grease (not included)
• The work table and extension table can be coated with a very
thin coat of lubricating wax (not included) to protect the surface
from rust and to facilitate smooth feed during operation
Re-aligning the Rollercase
• Test the blade alignment by running two pieces through each
side (left and right) of the thicknesser
• Measure and compare results to check that the blades are
correctly aligned and/or to determine the amount of correction
required
• To correct any misalignment:
1. Turn the thicknesser 'OFF' and remove the plug from the power
source
2. Carefully place the thicknesser on its back
3. Remove the screws to the horizontal spindle retaining bracket on
the Crank Handle (9) side of the thicknesser (Image D)
4. Carefully disengage the gears (Image E)
5. Slowly rotate the Crank Handle to raise or lower the Rollercase as
needed to reposition it on the vertical screw
6. Rotate the Crank Handle forward or back as required in order
to correct the misalignment. Each complete turn of the Crank
Handle will make an adjustment of 1.5mm
7. Re-engage the gears and refit the horizontal spindle retaining
bracket
8. Carefully sit the thicknesser upright again
9. Carry out a test run to check the Rollercase is now level
10. Repeat the correction process if further adjustment is necessary
Checking and replacing the blades
Inspecting the blades:
1. Locate the Blade Cover Panel (17) on the back of the thicknesser.
Loosen and remove the Blade Cover Panel Hex Screws (16) on
either side and lift off the panel (Image F)
2. Identify the cutter head inside, and the TWO sharp blades on the
cutter head
3. Without touching the blades, carefully turn the cutter head until
the self-engaging latch clicks to lock the cutter head
4. Use the Hex Key (15) to remove the six bolts on the blade cover
plate (Image G)
5. Using the two Magnets (19), carefully remove the blade cover
plate
6. Then use the Magnets to remove the blade
7. Inspect the blade for signs of wear or damage. A blade that is
dull, worn, nicked, torn or uneven can result in poor performance
such as fuzzy grain, chipped grain, raised grain, raised edge and
uneven cut
Replacing a blade:
Note: Replace blades in pairs only.
Note: Never mix a new blade with an old blade on the cutter head.
Never mix blades with different degrees of wear. Never use a blade
where unbalanced wear from side to side is present and never use
blades other than the blades specified by the manufacturer.
1. Use the Magnets (19) to pick up and place the new blade onto
the cutter head
