General Instructions for 230V Machines
The following will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN
KEEP WORK AREA AS UNCLUTTERED AS IS PRACTICAL. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD CHILDREN BE ALLOWED IN WORK AREAS.
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 16 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensuree that neither are damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable.
Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and the correct
speed and function set.
Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to
prevent it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
Consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wristwatches.
Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear etc.
If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted
Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there may be volatile gases.
Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged
and are kept clean and sharp, this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.
OBSERVE….
around you and
make sure you know what is happening
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.
Panel Saw
Specific Safety Precautions
Make sure the saw blade is the correct type for the job in hand.
Do not force the saw, if the saw begins to ‘stall’ you are ‘forcing the cut’ or over working the saw. Ensure that the saw blade is clean and sharp. Resin build up on the blades will increase the friction of the saw passing through the timber, and cause over heating of the blade, blunt teeth will work harder tearing the fibre of the timber as opposed to shearing it, also with subsequent overheating. Both faults unnecessarily load the machine beyond normal usage, and shorten its longevity.
Do not use blades that are deformed in any way.
Do not remove the blade guard. The design of the riving
knife on the machine will not allow for slotting or ‘blind’ grooving, so there is no reason to remove the guard. There is adequate clearance under the guard for the capacity of the machine (75mm).
Do not remove the riving knife.
Do not use any blades that cut a smaller kerf than the
riving knife thickness. Make sure the riving knife is correctly adjusted to the blade and is securely fastened. If the table insert becomes damaged or broken, and will not support the timber ‘up close’ to the blade, replace it.
Do not start the saw with the work piece touching the blade.
Do not commence sawing until the blade has run up to full speed. After switching off, never try to slow the saw down more quickly by applying side pressure (with a piece of wood?) to the blade. Apply the old joiner’s adage of never getting hands within one handbreadth of the blade. Leave the machine disconnected from the mains supply until you are about to commence work. Always disconnect the machine if you are leaving it unattended.
Never leave the vicinity of the machine unless the blade has come to a complete stop.
Do not attempt to carry out any maintenance, corrective work, setting up etc., unless the machine is disconnected from the mains supply. If any tools have been used during setting up procedures, make sure they are removed from the machine and stowed safely away.
Do not attempt to carry out cross cutting operations ‘freehand’, always use the mitre fence for small material and the sliding carriage for larger work pieces. Unless you are an experienced machine operator, do not attempt to ‘rip’ freehand, always use the guiding facility of the rip fence. It is perfectly acceptable to support, guide, and feed the timber with your hands whilst ripping stuff of some length, however, as you approach the blade ensure that the push stick is to hand, and you use it.
Remember the emphasis of the ‘push’ should be between the blade and the fence and close to the fence. Use your free hand to support and guide the material on the offside of the saw blade and at least 100mm away from it. If the timber does not extend to at least 100mm to the offside of the saw blade, the material possibly does not need guiding or supporting.
Check (especially on site), that there are no foreign objects e.g. old nails, screws, small stones etc embedded in the material you are about to cut. If necessary take a wire brush to the timber before working.
If you are being assisted whilst using the saw (by a ‘take off’ or ‘support’ number?), remember there is only one sawyer at a machine, and they stand in front of it. The assistant does not push, pull, guide etc., unless specifically asked or instructed to do so by the sawyer.
Spindle Moulder
Authorised Use
This machine is designed for shaping wood and wood derived materials.
Machining of other materials is not permitted and may be carried out in specific cases only after consulting with the manufacturer.
The proper use also includes compliance with the operating and maintenance instructions given in this manual.
The machine must be operated only by persons familiar with its operation and maintenance and who are familiar with its hazards.
The required minimum age must be observed. The machine must only be used in a technically perfect condition. When working on the machine, all safety mechanisms and covers must be in operation.
Continues Over....
Specific Safety Precautions
In addition to the safety requirements contained in these Operating Instructions and your country’s applicable regulations, you should observe the generally recognized technical rules concerning the operation of woodworking machines.
Any other use exceeds authorisation.
In the event of unauthorised use of the machine, the manufacturer renounces all liability and the responsibility is transferred exclusively to the operator.
General Safety Notes
Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used properly. Therefore the appropriate general technical rules as well as the following notes must be observed.
Read and understand the entire instruction manual before attempting assembly or operation.
Keep these Operating Instructions close by the machine, protected from dirt and humidity, and pass them over to the new owner if you part with the tool.
Planer/Thicknesser
Most machines currently are well interlocked to ensure that the machine must be in the correct configuration to perform one task or the other. Make yourself familiar with these configurations and do not try to use the machine in a half and half state, or rig the interlocks to enable you to do so. These machines are designed for cutting timber only. They will, but are not designed to, cut timber derivatives or composites. Glue lines in plywood, block board etc, will ‘notch’ the blades. The bonding agent in chipboard is likewise detrimental to the health of your planer knifes. It is best to leave them alone. If you have to machine composites, work out the costs of tungsten, against HSS (plus the sharpening costs), and proceed accordingly. On larger machines it is common practice to leave a portion of the blade (usually the offside 30 mm) to be used on ‘aggressive’ materials.
Overhand Planing
Make sure during overhand planing operations, that the fence is set to the required angle, is securely fastened and locked in position. Ensure the planer block guarding is in position and secured.
No changes to the machine may be made.
Daily inspect the function and existence of the safety appliances before you start the machine.
Remove all loose clothing and enclose long hair.
Before operating the machine, remove tie, rings, watches, other jewellery, and roll up sleeves above the elbows.
Wear safety shoes; never wear leisure shoes or sandals.
Always wear the approved working outfit.
Do not wear gloves while operating the machine.
For the safe handling of cutting tools wear work gloves.
Control the stopping time of the machine, it may not exceed 10 seconds.
Remove cut and jammed work pieces only when the machine is at a complete standstill and motor is turned off.
Install the machine so that there is sufficient space for safe operation and work piece handling.
Keep work area well lit.
Disengage the autofeed for the thicknesser. Ensure both tables are correctly seated and locked down. Ensure the dust extraction hood is in place and is not blocked. Fit dust extraction.
Check the sharpness of planer knifes, check for ‘nicks’ and ‘notches’, if there are damaged sections on the blades, try to plane in the ‘clear’ areas.
Especially when planing material down to ‘thin’ dimensions, maintain pressure on the ‘front’ of the material i.e., that portion of the stuff that has passed over the block, but use a push stick or a pusher shoe to clear the end of the stuff over the block.
Thicknessing
When thicknessing, remove the fence. Lower the thicknessing table slightly.
Unlock and swing both tables ‘up and out of the way’, taking care not to foul the overhand guard/arm assembly, which will probably swing free.
Turn the dust extraction hood up and over the block.
Connect the dust extraction. Ensure the hose will not foul the wood when being passed through the machine.
Specific Safety Precautions
Check the height of the thicknessing table. Engage the autofeed mechanism.
Periodically, clean any excess build up of resin from the thicknessing table, and apply any proprietary brand of lubricating agent.
NOTE, Consideration should be given to the type of finish you will be applying to the wood when you select your cleaning/lubrication agent. Some compounds won’t mix. i.e. PTFE and Acrylic.

Assembly Instructions
PLEASE NOTE: Some of this assembly
procedure is best accomplished by two persons. Although the tasks are not impossible,
some of the items are heavy and awkward, and a mishandling error could cause injury. Please think about what you are doing, your capabilities and your personal safety.
Unpack all the boxes and check all the components against the “What’s in the Boxes’ List. If any parts or components are missing, please contact our customer services department using the procedures and telephone numbers listed in our catalogue, and you will be dealt with quickly and efficiently.
PLEASE NOTE: that, on occasion, the packing list is not strictly adhered to, please check all the boxes, packets etc, to make sure that all the parts have been accounted for.
Having unpacked the boxes, (please dispose of any unwanted packaging responsibly), put the parts and components whereby they are readily to hand. Break down the main box by knocking the sides away (be careful of exposed nails etc.), but leave the machine sitting on its pallet. Remove the protective grease film that is coating all the unpainted parts of the machine. Use a proprietary de-greasing agent or paraffin. Unfortunately, this cleaning process is always a bit ‘mucky’ especially if you tackle the job with a high level of enthusiasm. You are advised to wear overalls or coveralls etc., during the process. After cleaning, especially if you used paraffin, lightly coat the exposed metal surfaces to prevent any rusting.
Note: The AWC4 Combination Machine comes 95% assembled, in order to reduce the footprint of the machine for packaging, several items are dismounted from the machine and need to be re-affixed.

Planer/Thicknesser Blades
WARNING!! DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE MAINS BEFORE CONTINUING!
The planer blades are mounted into 3 slot housings machined in the cutter block. The slot housing comprises of a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse tapered slot alongside it, see fig 56.
The depth of the first slot governs the seating of the chip breaker/wedge, the second slot allows the blade to be set to its correct depth in the block. The chip breaker/ wedge is machined with a tapered face set at the same angle as the slot. This allows the blade to be clamped between parallel faces. The block will accept blades 250mm x 3mm x 30mm. After sharpening, the blades will reduce over their height dimension, but the blades can be safely used until their overall height dimension is 17mm, then the blades must be discarded as they can no longer be securely clamped in the housing.
The reverse taper slot has a series of blind holes bored in the bottom surface into which springs are fitted. These springs act against the bottom of the planer blade, to push it into contact with the setting tool, when the blades are being positioned after changing.
8) There is an angle scale mounted on top of the
extension table, to set the fence at required angles for cutting parallel cuts.

Locate the 5.5mm x 7mm A/F spanner in the tool kit. Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is uppermost, (between the tables). Using the spanner drive the 5 No. bolts into the chip breaker/wedge, thus removing the clamping effect. This should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up to protrude clear of the edge of the cutter block.
Carefully remove the blade, lay aside. Remove the chip breaker/wedge, lay aside, finally remove the springs

from the slot and lay them aside. Repeat the process for the other two blades. If the block becomes difficult to hold located, being out of balance with the blade/s removed; use a thin wedge of material to jam the cutter block in position.
Now is a very good time to clean the slot housings thoroughly, remove the resin build-up, sawdust, chips and any old joiners/carpenters etc., that have recently disappeared without trace. Ensure the circumference of the cutter block is likewise cleaned thoroughly.
Remove the clamping bolts from the chip breaker/ wedges, clean the bolts and the threaded holes, clean the springs and the chip breaker/wedges thoroughly. Apply a little light oil to the springs. Remove the new/sharpened blades from their ‘keeper’ set carefully to hand and put the ‘old’ blades away in the ‘keeper’ to be sent for sharpening.
Locate the blade setting tool and put it to hand. Screw the bolts into the chip breaker/wedges. Select one of the slot housings and wedge the cutter block to maintain it in position. Set the springs into the holes in the bottom of the slot, introduce the chip breaker/wedge, position it against the ‘back’ of the slot, introduce a blade in front of it. Using the spanner start to unscrew the bolts, take care at this time as the blade could be protruding well above the block. Unscrew the bolts until the wedge just starts a ‘nip’ on the blade, then screw them back in half a turn.
At this point all the components should be loose in the slot (not slack), carefully position the blade and the wedge to line up with the edge of the cutter block. Press the blade setting tool gently down onto the blade, see fig 57 ensure that the locating feet are firmly in contact with the cutter block, and the blade is against the setting recess, see fig 58-59. Holding the blade and the setting tool in this position, tighten at least two of the clamping bolts to provide a firm clamp of the blade, with the setting tool held firmly in place. Tighten the remaining bolts. Tighten hard, but do not overtighten, remember, these are M4 bolts. Repeat this procedure for the remaining blades.
Fig 58-59
Blade setting tool
When all the blades are fitted, rotating the cutter block by hand in reverse and visually inspecting the edge of the blades against a fixed point. If this appears satisfactory, carry out a final ‘tightness’ check on the clamping bolts; remove all the tools and stow away.
NOTE: If at any point you need to adjust the tables so they are parallel, adjust by the following method:
1) Remove the transport pins (A) using a pin punch and
hammer.
2) Adjust the table height locating bolts (B).
3) Loosen the Hex bolt (C) and eccentric cam (D), place
a straight edge across both tables and adjust until the tables are in line. When you are satisfied tighten (C and D), see fig 60. Reset the feed scale to ‘0’, see page 23.
NOTE: BY RESETTING THE TABLES THE HOLES FOR THE TRANSPORT PINS MAY BE OUT OF ALIGNMENT. WE SUGGEST RE-DRILLING NEW HOLES NEAR ORIGINALS THEN REPLACING THE PINS.

Cutter Block Accessories
Axcaliber Euro Cutter Head
Two sizes of limiter cutter block, 78mm and 100mm, both with 30mm bores, which designed to accept the range of Euro cutters and limiters shown within this section. The 78mm block is designed for use with the 40 x 4mm Euro and Whitehill cutters, whereas the 100mm block will accept both 40 x 4mm and 50 x 4mm Euro cutters plus the 40 x 4mm and 55 x 4mm Whitehill cutters. For those who are unfamiliar with spindle moulder tooling, limiters are a safety device designed to limit the amount of cut taken by the cutters on each rotation of the block. They take the form of a dummy cutter with the profile cut slightly below the cutter profile and with the sharp edges removed. They fit into the slots in the block in front of the main cutters and are secured by the same wedge as the cutters. The blocks are supplied with a pair of rebate knives and limiters. The 100mm block is aluminium and the 78mm block is steel.
