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.

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.
6
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.

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

Operating Instructions
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.

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.
