mm when the workpiece is fed into the planer. A spring plate (supplied on delivery) can be mounted
in front of the moveable cutter between the press rollers' arm and screw plate. The spring plate has
oval holes that allow adjustment in and out from the workpiece. The spring plate works partly as a
tension control, but also as a fence in front of the cutter which reduces the risk of long splinters
being knocked out of the workpiece during large cuts.
Adjust the feather plate so that it is pushed in to a couple of millimeters from the unplaned edge of
the workpiece.
IMPORTANT!
Check that there is no risk of the spring plate pushing
into the cutter's knife if you are planing an object of variable width.
Maintain a safety margin of at least one centimeter in the pressed in
position.
After the moveable cutter, there is another pressure roller (76) which pushes the cut workpiece
towards the back fence. Set the pressure roller so that it protrudes approx. 1-3 mm from the cutter's
smallest plane diameter, at the same height as the pressure roller.
The height of the pressure roller can also be set with washers above or below it. Which may be
required for producing certain profiles.
TEST RUN
Always run a test piece and make subsequent ad- justments. Run a piece straight through the planer
at the slowest feed speed. Look through the cover while it is being planed and check that the board
is lying against the fences in front of and behind cutter 2.
Then measure the profile, its height and width, and subsequently adjust the cutters and the setting
for the molding knives if required.

WARNING!
Do not turn feed speed adjustment knob when the feed is
off or material is planing/moulding.
ASSEMBLY (IF VARIABLE SPEED MOTOR IS MOUNTED IN PLACE)
Mount feed motor on the last feed roller shaft (A). Be sure to mount the cover (B) properly (so that
the key in the bottom of the cover fits the slot (C) in moulder’s body. Use the lock screw (D) to secure
the motor on the roller shaft.
