CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The machine does not require any special maintenance except for ensuring it is kept

perfectly clean, including the motors ventilation slots.

It may be necessary however to replace the cutter blades, drive belt and motor carbon

brushes from time to time. These actions are described below.

Replacing the cutters (fig. 5)

1. Place the machine on a table with the

planing base towards you.

2. Rotate the cylinder until the first cutter

is visible.

3. Turn the three securing screws (C, Fig.7)

fully, in the direction shown in Fig.5.

This will loosen the cutter block assembly

from the cylinder.

4. Hold down the safety device with your

thumb as shown in Fig. 6, and slide the

cutter assembly in the direction shown

to remove it from the cylinder.

5. Tap the cutter block assembly gently in

order to free the cutter blade, which

will either slide out, or the clamping

plate - ‘B’, Fig.7 will become detached

from the clamping block ‘A’ Fig.7,

allowing the blade to be removed.

Note: The cutter has two cutting edges.

When both cutting edges are worn, the

cutter must be replaced.

6. Turn the cutter so that the new cutting

edge is facing upwards or take a new cutter

and place it between the block - A and

the clamping plate - B, ensuring the locating

lugs of the clamping plate engage with the

clamping block correctly.

7. Slide the cutter block assembly back

into the cylinder

8. Secure the cutter block by screwing the

screws C, Fig.7 OUT until each one just

touches the side of the recess in the

cylinder, then tighten the two outer

screws first followed by the centre screw.

Adjusting a cutter

With the planing depth set to zero, place a straight edge along the bottom face of the

machine. The cutter blade should just touch the straight edge.

If adjustment is necessary, screw the hex. socket head screws - D, Fig 7, (and also shown

in Fig. 5), in or out as required, until the cutter blade just touches the straight edge, along

its entire length. i.e. the blade must be parallel across the base of the machine.
