Position the bridge guard so it covers any
exposed part of the knives.
Use the push pads to hold the work piece
firmly down against the table, feed the
work piece across the knives, onto the
out-feed table.
When working with very thin material, set
the bridge guard all the way across to the
fence.
Then set the height of the bridge guard,
so the work piece can pass underneath it.
Thicknessing Function
Standing with the switch side as the front. The direction of feed is Left to Right.
Fit the extraction hood on top of the outfeed planing table and clamp in place.
Use the crank handle to adjust the height
of the thicknessing bed to match the work
piece.
The maximum depth of cut when
thicknessing is 2mm. A feed height
restrictor bar prevents a cut of more than
2mm being made.
Standing in front of the machine, hold the
work piece so it is flat against the
thicknessing table and gently push
forward.
Release the work piece when you will feel
the drive roller take hold and feed it past
the knives.
Move around to the other end of the
machine to support the piece by hand as
a second drive roller feeds it out of the
machine.
Repeat as many times as necessary to
achieve the required dimensions of the
piece.
Each pass, rotate the crank handle
clockwise one turn to raise the bed by
2mm.
The actual dimension can be read from
the thickness scale.
