INSTALLATION

Movement and transport of thicknesser (Fig. 1)

CAUTION:

• Watch your step when moving the tool.

Fold the sub-tables. Grasp the carrying handles when

moving the tool.

When transporting it by vehicle, secure with a rope or

other substantial means to prevent tipping or movement.

Positioning the thicknesser (Fig. 2)

Locate the tool in a well lit and level place where you can

maintain good footing and balance. Bolt/screw it to the

workbench or thicknesser stand (optional accessory)

using the bolt holes provided in the base.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and unplugged

before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

Switch action (Fig. 3)

CAUTION:

• Before plugging in the tool, always be sure that the tool

is switched off. The pilot lamp lights up when the tool is

plugged into the power source.

To start the tool, press the ON (I) button. To stop it, press

the OFF (O) button.

Dimensional adjustment (Fig. 4)

Lower the main frame by turning the crank handle coun-

terclockwise until the indicator plate points to the scale

graduation indicating the desired finished dimension.

One full turn of the crank handle moves the main frame

2 mm up or down. The scale has inch graduations on its

right side and metric graduations on its left side.

Adjusting depth of cut

The maximum depth of cut differs depending upon the

width of workpiece being cut. Refer to the table. When

you need to remove more than the amount specified in

the table, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount

and make two or more passes.

To adjust the depth of cut, proceed as follows.

Insert the workpiece flat on the table top. Lower the main

frame by turning the crank handle counterclockwise. The

depth gauge will rise and the amount of gauge rise indi-

cates the depth of cut. (Fig. 5)

CAUTION:

• Always lower the main frame when aligning the indica-

tor plate with the graduation indicating the desired fin-

ished dimension. If you raise the main frame into the

desired finished dimension, additional play in the screw

may result. This may cause an undesired finished

dimension.

• Always place the workpiece flat on the table top when

predetermining the depth of cut. Otherwise, the prede-

termined depth of cut will differ from actual depth of cut.

Depth adjusting gauge (Fig. 6)

Use the depth adjusting gauge when you need to prede-

termine the depth of cut more accurately. To do so, pro-

ceed as follows.

First, plane the workpiece at the predetermined depth of

cut. Measure the thickness of the planed piece to know

how much more stock you need to remove.

Turn the depth adjusting gauge on the crank handle until

the 0 graduation is aligned with the groove on the tool.

Now turn the crank handle counterclockwise until the

graduation for the desired depth of cut is aligned with the

groove on the tool.

When you need to remove more than the amount speci-

fied in the table mentioned in the “Adjusting depth of cut”

section, set the depth of cut shallower than the amount

and make two or more passes.

Stopper (Fig. 7)

Use the stopper when you need to plane many work-

pieces to the same thickness. To do so, proceed as fol-

lows.

Turn the crank handle until the indicator plate points to

the scale graduation indicating the desired finished

dimension.

Depress the stopper button and lower the stopper until it

just contacts the table top.

If you need fine adjustment of the stopper, turn the stop-

per knob.

CAUTION:

• When the stopper is not in use, always raise it to the

topmost position. Never force the crank handle when

the stopper is in contact with the table top. This may

cause tool damage.

ASSEMBLY

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and

unplugged before carrying out any work on the tool.

Replacing blades

CAUTION:

• Handle the blades very carefully when removing or

installing the blades to prevent cuts or injury from the

blades and to prevent damage to the blades. They are

razor-sharp.

• Clean out all chips, dust, pitch or foreign matter adher-

ing to the drum or blades before installing the blades.

• Use blades of the same dimensions and weight, or

drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor cut-

ting action and eventually, tool breakdown.

• Replace both blades at the same time.

• The disposable-type blade has a cutting edge on both

sides. When one cutting edge becomes dull, you can

use the other cutting edge. Always remove resin and

dirt sticking to the reverse side of the blade before

using the other cutting edge. This blade must not be re-

sharpened. When both cutting edges become dull, the

blade should be carefully thrown away.
