Dear customer.
Note: Do not lift the machine by the tables this could put the tables out of adjustment.
Please use the below instructions in conjunction with the supplied factory instruction in
the Assembly (page 18) and Commissioning (page 19) of your new planer thicknesser .
# Please note to attach to 4 adjustable feet (based plates as described in manual) and to get machine off the
wooden skid it is supplied on.
You will first have to remove the rear cover (big blue cover on the opposite side of the machine to the on/off
switch) This cover is held on by 6 screws (3 each side of it.)
Undo each of the screws 10 to 12 turnes only. The blue cover has retaining slots in it, so all you need to do is
lift up the cover fractionally then pull the cover straight out away from the machine.
You are now able to access the nuts on the 4 bolts that retain the machine to the skid.
Undo and remove these and tap the bolts through the skid out of the way.
The factory has supplied two eyebolts for lifting the machine off the skid.
These get screwed into threaded holes in the top of the machine as per the stickers on it.
## Do not lift the machine by the tables this will put the tables out of adjustment. ##
Lift the machine off the skid and fit the 4 rubber feet (Base Plates) as per instructions on
page 18 relating to FIG 2
Place the machine where it is going to be used and adjust the feet as needed to get
machine balanced, then lock the nuts to set the feet in place in the machine.
Please note: further in the Assembly instructions in factory manual it does say that
before using the machine you should check the tension of the V-belt and the cover needs
removing to do this.
The V-belt is factory set and should not need adjusting. But while the cover is off check
the tension of the
V-belt, it should move about 10 to 20 mm in and out when flexed in the middle of its length using slight force
with a finger each side.
If you find it is too loose see instructions on page 18 relating to
figure 13 and 13.1
The blue cover can now be refitted in the 6 screws tightened.
