2. Never use the plug without the fuse
The fuse in the plug must be replaced with one of the same rating (13 amps) and this
replacement must be ASTA approved to BS1362.
Always use an approved cable extension suitable for the power rating of this tool (see
specifications), the conductor size should also be at least the same size as that on the
machine, or larger. When using a cable reel, always unwind the cable completely.
If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician. Do not attempt any electrical repairs yourself.

also ensure both rotate freely. It is
important for safety and accurate
operation both rollers are aligned
parallel to the base plate (item 32
in the parts list), To adjust the rollers,
proceed as follows.

Before commencing with the assembly, lay out all components and check for shortages
and or damage, see list of contents on page 3 .
Any shortages or damage should be reported immediately, to your Clarke dealer where

Once all screws and nuts are tight, recheck and if necessary readjust as required.
Repeat steps 1 - 4 for the outfeed roller.
Recheck other end and adjust if necessary.
Once satisfied the roller is level with the base plate, carefully ensure all screws and
nuts are securely tightened.
4. Whilst holding the straight edge flat across one end of the base plate and roller,
loosen the corresponding screws ‘A’ Fig. 3a and adjust the roller so that it just touches
the straight edge, carefully tighten screws, repeat for other end.
Dust Extraction
The thicknesser is provided with a dust extraction facility, where a vacuum extractor or
dust bag may be connected. An adapter is provided for this
purpose, and must be fitted at all times whether using dust
extraction or not, this is a safety requirement which prevents
finger access to the blades.
The adapter fitting is a bayonet type and is simply fitted by
pushing onto the outlet port on the rear of the machine and
twisting clockwise, once in position, the adapter must be
secured in position by tightening both screws, Do Not
overtighten.
Please note however, using dust extraction does not preclude the user

3. Place straight edge across the centre
of the base plate and the infeed roller
Fig. 3c, there should now be a gap
between the straight edge and infeed
roller. Whilst holding the straight edge
flat on the base plate, slowly turn one
of the allen screws ‘B’ Fig. 3b in a
clockwise direction, keep turning
screw until the roller is just clear of the
straight edge. Gently tighten the
locknut ensuring the allen screw
doesn’t move, check with straight
edge the roller is still clear, if not readjust.
Carefully turn the other allen screw clockwise until it just touches the bracket
without raising the roller, tighten the locknut ensuring screw doesn’t move, recheck
the roller is just clear of the straight edge, check both ends as well as the centre, if
necessary readjust as required.
Once satisfied the roller is just clear of the straight edge along its full length, carefully
ensure both locknuts are firmly tightened, ensuring the allen screws do not move.

The effectiveness of the device for the
prevention of kickback should be
regularly inspected to ensure safe
operation.
The kick back claws are located at the
front of the machine (see Fig. 21).
Ensure all the claws are in place, not
broken, and move freely on the shaft, if
any claws are broken or missing, these
must be replaced before using the
When fitting new belt, ensure the belt is centralised on both pulleys, and that all the
grooves in the pulleys are used.
With the new belt in situ, reassemble the machine in reverse order, taking care to fit all
lockwashers etc, and ensuring all screws etc are tightened sufficiently, DO NOT
overtighten.
After fitting new belt or blades, when first starting the machine allow it to run for a couple
of minutes before attempting to use it. If any unusual noises or excessive vibration is
detected, switch off and isolate from the main electrical supply by removing the plug
from the socket.
Investigate the cause and rectify before
attempting to switch on and use again.

To replace the brushes, unscrew the brush
cap using a suitable flat bladed screwdriver.
Withdraw the motor brush, if the brushes are
removed for inspection only, ensure they
always go back in the same positions, and are
not swopped over.
When refitting the brushes, ensure the brushes
are seated against the armature before screwing the cap
back on. When screwing the cap back DO NOT force it, it
may be necessary to gently screw the cap backwards and forwards until the brush fits
into the brush housing correctly, allowing the cap to screw fully home, DO NOT
overtighten.

Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance activities, ALWAYS ensure the
machine is switched OFF and isolated from the main electrical supply by removing the
plug from the socket.
Clean the machine regularly and inspect for signs of wear and or damage, any defects
should be rectified before using the machine again.
Motor Brushes
Inspect the motor brushes regularly and
check for even wear and signs of excessive
sparking etc, replace the brushes if necessary,
DO NOT allow the brushes to wear down to
less than 1/3rd their original size (7mm min).
Always replace brushes in pairs NEVER singly.
Motor brushes are located either side of the
motor housing see (Fig. 16).

Maintenance
The ON/OFF switch is a “No Volts Switch”, so that in
the event of a power failure etc, the machine
does not restart automatically once the power is
back on.
When the power has been restored, disconnect
from the power supply by switching off and
removing the plug from the socket. Remove any
timber left jammed in the machine, to do this
simply raise the cutting head to release it.
Reset the machine to the required cutting height, switch the machine ON again and
proceed with machining.
DO NOT force the workpiece into the machine, forcing the material overloads the machine
and could damage the motor.
ALWAY S feed material to be machined from the front of the thicknesser, NEVER from the
back.
When machining long pieces, ensure that it is supported as it exits the machine. When
the desired thickness is reached, switch the machine OFF and remove the plug from the
main electrical supply.
Always use a push stick when machining short or narrow workpieces.

Fig. 6
follows:
Measure the timber to be machined.
Using the thickness adjusting handle and the depth gauge rule, set the machine to
the thickness of the material.
Before switching ON and offering the timber into the machine, ensure the timber is free
of nails, screws or other foreign material that could damage the blades and cause
personal injury.
For the initial cut, it is recommended that the depth of cut should be 1mm.
Subsequent cuts can be made up to a maximum of 2.5mm until the desired thickness
is achieved.
To switch ON, press the switch cover down, slide in direction of arrow (see fig. 6) and lift up,
this will expose the ON/OFF buttons, (see fig. 7) Push the ON button, (green button ‘I’). DO
NOT close the cover as this will switch the machine OFF again.
NOTE : in case of emergency, close the switch cover quickly, cover will
latch down and motor will be switched OFF.
To switch OFF normally, press OFF button, (red button
‘O’), always close cover to prevent accidental
starting.

The machine must NEVER be used free standing, it
must always be anchored to workbench or similar,
using 4 suitable 10mm nuts and bolts, one on each
corner of the thicknesser, (see Fig. 5). Choose carefully
the location where the machine is to be located,
ensuring there is sufficient space around it in order to
operate safely.

When sharpening the blades, ensure that both blades are kept in contact with the
sharpening stone at all times, this not only preserves the correct angle, but ensures both
blades remain exactly the same size, this is necessary to maintain the correct balance
