PRE-OPERATIONAL SAFETY CHECKS
1. Check workspaces are clear and no slip/trip-hazards are present.
2. Check safety guards are adjusted and operate to give maximum protection.
3. Where a bridge guard is fitted adjust the guard to ensure a maximum of 2mm clearance
between guard and the timber.
4. Do not plane stock with structural defects.
5. Locate and ensure you are familiar with the operation of the ON/OFF starter and E-Stop (if
fitted).
6. Set depth of cut and lock table. Never make a single cut greater than 2mm.
7. Check and lock fence in position.
8. Start the dust extraction unit before using the machine.

2.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY FOR PLANER THICKNESSERS CONT.
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’ blades
The bonding agent in chipboard is likewise detrimental to the health of your planer cutters.
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.
• 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.
Thicknessing
When thicknessing, remove the fence and place the assembly in a safe place.
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 should swing free. Turn the
dust extraction hood up and over the block.
• Connect the dust extraction. Ensure the hose will not foul any material being passed
through the machine.
• 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.
Check the sharpness of cutters, check for ‘nicks’ and ‘notches’, if there are damaged sections on
the cutters, try to machine in the ‘clear’ areas or replace the cutters. This is very important when
planing material down to ‘thin’ dimensions. Always maintain pressure on the ‘front’ of
the material i.e., that portion of the material that has passed over the cutter block. Use a push
stick or a pusher shoe to clear the end of the workpiece over the cutter block.

2.2 ADDITIONAL SAFETY FOR PLANER THICKNESSERS CONT.
Some workpieces are not safe to plane or may require modification before they are safe to pass
through the planer. Before cutting, inspect all workpieces for the following:
• Material Type: This machine is only intended for planing workpieces of natural wood.
Attempting to plane workpieces of any other material, including wood composites, could lead
to serious personal injury and property damage.
• Foreign Objects: Inspect lumber for defects and foreign objects (nails, staples, imbedded
gravel, etc,). If you have any question about the quality of your lumber, DO NOT use it.
Remember, wood stacked on a concrete floor can have small pieces of stone or concrete
pressed into the surface.
• Large/Loose Knots: Loose knots can become dislodged during the planing operation. Large
knots can cause kickback and machine damage. Always choose workpieces that do not have
large/loose knots when planing.
• Wet or “Green” Stock: Avoid planing wood with a high water content. Wood with more than
20% moisture content or wood exposed to excessive moisture (such as rain or snow), will plane
poorly and cause excessive wear to the cutterhead and motor. Excess moisture can also hasten
rust and corrosion of the planer and/or individual components.
• Excessive Warping: Workpieces with excessive cupping, bowing, or twisting are dangerous to
cut because they are unstable and often unpredictable when being planed. DO NOT use workpieces with these characteristics!
• Minor Cupping: Workpieces with slight cupping can be safely supported if the cupped side
is facing the planer table. On the contrary, a workpiece supported on the bowed side will rock
during planing and could cause severe injury from kickback.
• Use the full width of the planer. Alternate the cutting path between the left, the right and
the middle of the table to evenly distribute the wear across all inserts.
• Remove excess glue: Scrape all glue off of joined boards before planing.
• Plane the workpiece with the grain. NEVER feed end-cut or end-grained lumber into your
planer.
• Plane both faces: When possible, plane both faces of the workpiece so that they will be
parallel with one another.

2.3 LIFTING AND PLACEMENT
On the day that the machine arrives, make sure that a fork lift with sufficient capacity is available to unload the machine from the vehicle. Ensure access to the chosen site is clear and that
doors and ceilings are sufficiently high and wide enough to receive the machine.
Work out which way the machine is to face and move it to its desired position in the workshop.
Make sure it is positioned on a flat level surface and ensure that the machine is positioned to allow sufficient clearance both in front and behind the machine to cater for the maximum length
of timber you will wish to machine.
NOTE:
Remember to allow sufficient space around the machine to allow for your stance when overhand planing and moving from end to end of the machine if you are thicknessing single handed. Remember that when the surface tables are up and out of the way’ for thicknessing, the
machine is appreciably wider than when it is in overhand mode.
2.4 ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Place the machine near an existing power source. Make sure all power cords are protected from
traffic, material handling, moisture, chemicals, or other hazards. Make sure there is access to a
means of disconnecting the power source. The electrical circuit must meet the requirements for
240V. To minimize the risk of electrocution, fire, or equipment damage, these machines may be
hard wired with installation work and electrical wiring done by a qualified electrician.
NOTE : The use of an extension cord is not recommended as it may decrease the life of electrical
components on your machine.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
Nominal Voltage.........................................240V
Cycle.............................................................50 Hz
Phase...............................................Single Phase
Power Supply Circuit...........................15 Amps
Full Load Current (PT-254S)...............9.5 Amps
Full Load Current (PT-305S).............13.5 Amps
(Full load current rating is also on the specification plate on the motor.)
2.5 FULLLOAD CURRENT RATING
The full-load current rating is the amperage a machine draws when running at 100% of the
output power. Where machines have more than one motor, the full load current is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or a total of all the motors and electrical devices that
might operate at one time during normal operations.
Full-Load Current Rating for PT-254S at 240V is 9.5 Amps.
Full-Load Current Rating for PT-305S at 240V is 13.5 Amps.
17
Page 18
OPERATION MANUAL
02/09/2019
Instructions Manual for PT-254S (W611)
18
It should be noted that the full-load current is not the maximum amount of amps that the
machine will draw. If the machine is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond the
full-load rating and if the machine is overloaded for a long period of time, damage, overheating, or fire may be caused to the motor and circuitry.
This is especially true if connected to an undersized circuit or a long extension lead. To reduce
the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that meets the requirements.
3. SETUP
3.1 ASSEMBLY
The Planer Thicknesser comes 95% assembled. It is
enclosed in a packing case, on a pallet, with all the
accessories. (Fig. 3.1).
1. Having removed the top and the sides of the pack-
ing case, remove all the loose components from the
machine.
2. The machine is secured down on to the pallet that
forms the bottom of the packing case. Remove the
‘hold down’ brackets, (Fig.3.2). Place lifting straps
around the machine, DO NOT lift, push or pull the
machine using the tables. Any movement is best
carried out against the main frame cabinet. Hoist the
machine clear of the pallet, slide the pallet out of the
way and lower the machine in position.
NOTE: There are four 10mm threaded
holes located under the main frame, to
attach adjustable machine feet if required.

The setting of the 45˚ fence stop needs to be done
in two steps.
To set the 45° Fence Stop:
1. Set the fence to 45˚ degrees by loosening the
tilt clamping handle as before, place a mitre
square up against the fence and check the angle
with the outfeed table. Adjust the fence until
correct and nip up the tilt clamping handle.
Check that the pointer is at the 45 degree
mark on the scale and the fence mechanism
is against the 45˚ dead stop. (Fig.3.15)
2. If the dead stop prevents the fence from being
set at 45˚ or if when it is set at 45˚ there is a
gap between the stop and the stop screw then
the following needs to be done.
3. With the fence mechanism clamped at 45˚ re
move the fence to access the stop screw. (“A” in
Fig.3.15)
4. Adjust the screw until it is up against the stop.
5. Replace the fence, and check the angle again.
6. Repeat the steps until correct.

3.3 SETTING THE OUTFEED SURFACE TABLE
The outfeed table must be level with the cutter block
inserts or blades when they are at top-dead-center. This
adjustment has been made at the factory but should be
checked again before operating the Thicknesser Planer
This adjustment will also have to be made any time you
perform maintenance on the cutter block.
Before attempting the adjustment, the
machine must be disconnected from the power supply.
Once the machine has been positioned where it will be
used, remove the fence and open and close the “outfeed”
table . Locking it in place. Open the in-feed table and leave
up out of the way. Remove the black plastic guard off the
front side of machine that covers the spindle end. This will
allow the service operator to easily turn the spindle by
hand using the nut on the end of the spindle.

3.3 SETTING THE OUTFEED SURFACE TABLE
With a steel straightedge (A small steel ruler is good)
Sit the straight edge on the middle of the table as shown
above one of the blades. (Fig. 3.18) Pressing down lightly
on the straightedge carefully turn the spindle by hand
noting how far it lifts up the straightedge and pulls it along
before it stops moving it. A good amount is 2mm to 4 mm
this means cutter is approximately 0.1mm above the table.
To set the outfeed table height:
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
2. Remove the fence assembly and place the unit in a safe
place where damage is minimized. Unlock the infeed
table locking handle (Fig.3.16) and raise the table up
out of the way
3. Place a straightedge on the outfeed table so it
extends over the cutterhead. (Fig.3.17)
4. Rotate the cutterhead pulley until the steel rule moves
2-4mm.
Fig. 3.18
If adjustment is required, then the top position Stop Nut on the table depth screw will need
repositioning.
NOTE: To ensure the table remains flat, when adjustments are made the table lock lever must
be undone.
5. Undo table lock lever and back off the table by turning the
hand wheel anticlockwise.
6. Undo the grub screw on the side of the position stop nut and
rotate the nut on the thread as needed.
(Anticlockwise moves table up, Clockwise moves table down)
7. Tightened the grub screw, wind the table down and up until
position stop nut
the table reaches the position top stop.
8. Lock the table.
9. Check the table to cutter distance with the straightedge
and adjust if needed until the required 2 to 4mm movement
is achieved.
10. Replace the black plastic guard that covers the spindle end
onto the front of the machine.
11. The Infeed table must be checked to ensure its top stop
aligns the infeed table with the outfeed table.

Now lock the infeed table lock lever.
With a steel straightedge, holding it down on the outfeed
table, slide the straightedge from the outfeed table over
the cutter head (not touching the blade) to the infeed
table. (Fig. 3.19)
NOTE: The outfeed table must be set first
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER SUPPLY
2. Raise the infeed table by turning the rise and fall
adjusting knob, (Fig.3.20) until the infeed table top
stop is reached. The pointer should read ‘zero’ on the
scale.
3. Place a straight edge across both tables and check
they are both level. If not, then the position stop nut,
will need to be adjusted.
4. Remove the fence assembly. Unlock the infeed table
locking handle and raise the table up. Undo the grub
screw on the side of the position stop nut and rotate
the nut on the thread as needed.
(Anticlockwise moves table up, Clockwise moves table
down)(Fig. 3.20)
5. While holding the table, pull out the table locking bar

5. MAINTENANCE
5.1 CHANGING THE CUTTER BLOCK BLADES
The planer blades are mounted into three slot housings machined in the cutter block. The slot housing
comprises of a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse
tapered slot around it. The depth of the first slot
governs the seating of the blade holder, the second
slot allows the blade to be set to its correct depth in
the block.
The blade holder is machined with a tapered face set
at the same angle as the slot. This allows the blade to
be clamped between parallel faces, as in (Fig.5.1).
To Change the Standard Blades
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER
SUPPLY
2. Remove the fence assembly, and raise the two
surface tables to gain access to the cutter block,
3. Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is in
the upright position. Using a 4mm Hex key
loosen the four cap head screws on the cutter
block, removing the clamping effect. This should
allow the blade to ‘spring’ up, protruding clear of
the edge of the cutter block. (Fig.5.2)
4. Carefully remove the blade and place safely aside
Fig.5.1
Fig.5.2
NOTE: Be very careful when removing the blade as
they are extremely sharp.
5. Remove the blade holder and lay aside. Clean the
slot housing thoroughly, remove any resin
build-up, sawdust, chips etc. Clean the blade
holder in the cutter block.
6. Place the new blade in front of the blade holder.
Carefully position the blade and the holder to
line up with the edge of the cutter block. Press
the blade setting tool gently down onto the
blade, ensuring the locating feet are firmly seated
against the cutter block and the blade is against
the setting recess. (Fig.5.3)
7. Hold the blade and setting tool (L) in position,
and tighten two cap head screws to provide a
firm clamp on the blade. Tighten the remaining
cap head screws,

5.2 SPIRAL CUTTER BLOCKS
Some models are supplied with a spiral cutterhead
equipped with indexable carbide inserts. As they
wear they can be rotated to one of their four cutting edges. There is 44 square cutters in total on
the 10inch model (PT-254S) and 56 cutters on the
12inch model (PT-305S). Fig. 5.4
If one edge of the insert becomes dull or damaged,
simply rotate it 90° to reveal a fresh cutting edge.
Fig. 5.5
To change or rotate a spiral cutterhead inserts:
1. DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM THE POWER!
2. Remove the fence assembly, and raise the two
surface tables to gain access to the cutter block,
3. Leather heavy gloves should be worn to protect
your hands and fingers.
4. Remove any sawdust or debris from around the
insert, Torx screw, and the surrounding area.
5. Remove the Torx screw and the insert, then
clean both parts and the pocket where the
insert sits.
Note: If an insert is to be rotated the all inserts
should be rotated. This is critical to achieving a
smooth and precision finish. Ensure the cutter head
pocket have been throughly cleaned
If dirt or dust is trapped between the insert and
cutterhead it will slightly raise the insert, and make
noticeable marks.
6. Rotate the insert so that a fresh cutting edge
faces outward. If all four insert cutting edges
have been used, replace the insert with a new
one. Always position the reference mark (Fig.5.5)
on the insert in the same position when
installing a new insert to aid in the rotational
sequencing.
7. Lubricate the Torx screw threads with a very
small amount of light machine oil, wipe the
excess off, and tighten the screws making sure
not to over tighten them.
Note: Do Not use too much oil. The excess may
squeeze out of the threaded hole as you install the
insert and force the insert to raise slightly, forcing
the insert out of alignment.

1. Maintenance. Make sure the Planer Thicknesser is turned
off and disconnect from the main power supply and make
sure all moving parts have come to a complete stop before
any inspection, adjustment or maintenance is carried out.
2. Planer Thicknesser Condition. Planer Thicknesser
must be maintained for a proper working condition. Never
operate a Planer Thicknesser that has damaged or worn
parts. Scheduled routine maintenance should performed on
a scheduled basis.
3. Blade/Cutter Condition. Never operate a Planer
Thicknesser with dropped, cracked or badly worn blades
or cutters. Before using a Planer Thicknesser inspect all
blades and cutters. A damaged blade or cutter can cause
serious injury.
4. Hand Hazard. Keep hands and fingers clear from the
cutter-head, infeed & outfeed table supports. Serious injury
can occur.
5. Leaving a Planer Thicknesser Unattended. Always turn
the Planer Thicknesser off and make sure all moving parts
have come to a complete stop before leaving the Planer
Thicknesser. Do not leave Planer Thicknesser running
unattended for any reason.
6. Avoiding Entanglement. Blade guard must be used at all
times. Remove loose clothing, belts, or jewelry items. Never
wear gloves while machine is in operation. Tie up long hair
and use the correct hair nets to avoid any entanglement
with the Planer Thicknesser moving parts.
7. Understand the machines controls. Make sure you
understand the use and operation of all controls.
8. Power outage. In the event of a power failure during use
of the Planer Thicknesser, turn off all switches to avoid
possible sudden start up once power is restored.
9. Work area hazards. Keep the area around the Planer
Thicknesser clean from oil, tools, chips. Pay attention
to other persons in the area and know what is going on
around the area to ensure unintended accidents.
10. Workpiece Handling. Supporting the work-piece
adequately with additional supports at all times while
cutting. This is crucial for making safe cuts and avoiding
injury. Never attempt to make a cut with an unstable workpiece. Ensure work piece has stopped feeding before
handling.
11. Hearing protection and hazards. Always wear hearing
protection as noise generated from cutter-head and workpiece vibration can cause permanent hearing loss over
time.
12. Thicknesser Infeed clearance safety. The infeed roller
is designed to pull the work-piece into the cutter-head.
Always keep hands, clothing, hair away from the infeed
roller during operation to prevent serious injury.
13. Never look inside thicknesser. Wood chips fly around
inside the thicknesser at a high rate of speed. Do not look
inside the thicknesser remove guards or covers during
operation.
14. Operating position. The work-piece may kick out during
operation. To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
machine during the entire operation.
15. Use correct material. Only use natural timber. Do not
use MDF, plywood, laminates, or other synthetic or manmade products. Thicknessing material not designed for
this machine may cause serious injury.
16. Planer Cutter-head Alignment. The top edge of the out-
feed table should be aligned with the edge of the knife at
top dead centre to avoid kickback. An unaligned table can
cause serious injury.
17. Joining with the grain. Jointing against the grain or
jointing end grain is dangerous and could produce chatter
or excessive chip out. Always joint with the grain.
18. Thicknessing Grain direction. Thicknessing across
the grain may cause the work-piece to kick out. Always
thickness with the wood grain or at a small angle.
19. Use a Push Stick. Always use a push stick when
whenever surface planing. Never pass you hands directly
over the cutter-head without a push stick.
20. Blade guards. Always use blade guards except when
rebating. Make sure you replace the guard after rebating.
21. Planer Cutting operation. Always keep the work-piece
moving toward the outfeed table until the work-piece has
passed completely over the cutter-head. Never feed the
work-piece toward the infeed table.
22. Stalled blade. In the case that the cutter-head stalls while
in operation, turn the Planer Thicknesser off before freeing
the stalled cutter-head.
23. Changing between Planer / Thicknesser mode.
Once changed to the required mode either Planer or
Thicknesser, always ensure all safety guards and dust
chutes are re-fitted before starting machine.
24. Work-piece safety. Inspect your work-piece carefully
before feeding it over the cutter-head. Never thickness
material that has knots, nails, or staples.
25. Dust hazards. Always use a dust collector when
using machine.
26. Kickback. Kickback is defined as high speed expulsion of
work-piece from the Planer Thicknesser table cutter-head.
Never stand in the kickback zone.
27. Call for help. If at any time you experience difficulties,
stop the machine and call you nearest branch service
department for help.
