OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Always switch on the planer before making contact with the material and then guide the planer on to the workpiece
PLANING SURFACES
Place the planer with the front of the base plate ¾ on the workpiece.
Always make sure when you are planing surfaces such as beams and boards that the base plate
¾ is in full contact with the surface to avoid
the danger of blade kickback.
Always use both hands to guide the plane over the workpiece with even forward pressure.
CHAMFERING CORNERS
The vee groove º in the centre of the front of the base plate ¾ allows you to chamfer the corners of your workpiece very quickly and easily.
Place the planer on to the workpiece with the vee groove
º on the corner and then guide the planer along the corner.
Make sure you keep the angle at 45° and an even forward pressure.
REBATING
Example set up: for right hand rebates the side fence ² goes on the left and the rebating depth stop Ƹ goes on the right into the holes on
the planer (with the planer viewed from above).
Set the rebating depth up to a max. 24 mm using the rebating depth stop Ƹ. Set the side fence ² to give the required width. Adjust the pla
ning depth scale
» to the maximum of 3.5 mm. Go over the workpiece as many times as is required to obtain the desired rebate.
CHANGING OR REVERSING THE PLANER BLADES
WARNING: Before doing any work on the planer always pull out the plug from the mains.
IMPORTANT ADVICE:
Do not unscrew the two hexagonal socket headed screws. They adjust the height of the cutting block. Adjustment is only
required if you wish to change to another planer blade type e.g. a profiled blade.
HSS reversible blades are fitted as standard at the works. When you change blades, always change both blades to avoid any imbalance. When
they become blunt, the PARKSIDE reversible blades can be changed without any height adjustment of the cutting block being necessary
1) First unscrew one cutting block
µ only so that you can use the works-mounted second cutting block as an aid to setting up later.
2) Unscrew the three screws in the cutting block µ using the supplied open spanner.
3) Take the cutting block out of the planing roller.
4) Slide the planer blade sideways out of the cutting block.
NOTE: The cutting block can also be dismantled, e.g. for cleaning.
5) Re-assembly with a reversed or new blade is done in reverse order.
6) Check again for safety:
- the position of the planer blade in the cutting block
- the balanced and secure seating of the cutting block and the 3 fixing screws
- that the height adjustment is correct (2 hexagonal socket headed screws).
