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 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure 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
• Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent it
• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings and
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted.
• Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are undamaged

Specific Instructions for Thicknessing Machines
When machining, long pieces of timber tend to be unstable.
Bolting the machine to a bench increases stability. It is also
advisable to use two outfeed roller stands. However you have
mounted your machine ensure it is secure before you
commence work.
Note: Check there are no foreign objects e.g. old nails,
screws, small stones etc embedded in the material you
are about to machine.
WARNING!! DO NOT CARRY OUT ANY
CLEANING OR MAINTENANCE WITH THE
MACHINE CONNECTED TO THE MAINS SUPPLY!
THIS THICKNESSER IS FOR
MACHINING TIMBER ONLY!
1. Check knives are clean and sharp.
2. Check thicknessing table is clear of debris before
commencing work.
3. Check there is no excess build up of resin etc.,
on the thicknessing bed.
4. Check feed rollers are clean and unclogged.
5. Check the guards are in place and secure
before using the machine.
6. Do not stand directly in line with the infeed or the
outfeed of the machine especially when starting up.
7. Do not force the timber through the machine, it has
its own feed rollers and will feed itself at the correct rate.
8. The machine is designed for PLANING TIMBER ONLY.
9. Do not put man-made materials through this machine.
10. Remove loose knots from timber before planing.
11. Always allow machine to run up to full speed before
introducing the timber.
12. If your machine is fitted with ‘pass over rollers’
make sure that they are rotating freely.

Setup & Adjustment
Setting Cutter Head to Thicknessing Bed
Plane a piece of timber and measure the thickness after
the cut. If the thicknesses are different on both sides of
the work piece, follow the instructions below:
Use a piece of hardwood to make a tool gauge block
(Illustrations 1-2).

Operating Instructions
Connect the thicknesser to a dust extractor with an air volume
of 700m3/hr.
1
CONNECT THE THICKNESSER TO THE MAINS
SUPPLY!
CLEAR ALL TOOLS AWAY FROM THE WORK
AREA!
Lift up the emergency stop shroud and press the GREEN ‘ON’
button (2). Let the thicknesser reach full speed and feed a piece
of timber through from the infeed table. Wait until the timber
has passed through then switch off the machine by pressing
the RED ‘OFF’ button and wait until the machine comes to a
complete stop.
Circuit Breaker ‘RESET’ Switch
The thicknesser has an overload switch (3). If an overload
occurs, the switch will pop out. Wait several minutes before
pressing in the switch to reset the machine.
3
Depth of Cut Scale
It is important that the depth of cut scale reads accurately.
Adjust as follows.
• Turn the rise & fall handle (4) to the required depth.
NOTE: one revolution of the handle equals 1.6mm of depth.
• Switch ‘ON’ the thicknesser and wait until it reaches full speed.
• Feed a piece of timber through.
• Switch ‘OFF’ and wait until it comes to a complete stop.
• Compare the measurement on the timber with the reading on
the scale. (5) If the reading is different, adjust the scales pointer
by loosening the two screws (A).
• Feed another piece of timber through to check the depth of
cut and make further adjustments if necessary.

Maintenance
Changing the Motor Brushes
DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE
MAINS SUPPLY BEFORE CONTINUING!
Check the carbon brushes every three months. Replace if worn.
Take careful note of the orientation of the
brushes when you remove them, remember
that they have bedded themselves to the
profile of the commutator in that position.
If you fit them reversed they may not be in
exactly the same position, which can cause
excessive sparking and heat until they have
re-bedded themselves.
