Replacing And Controlling The Blades - Virutex CE120P Manual De Instrucciones

or another industrial dust collector for the collection
of wooden chips.
The external collector attachment must
never be set up on the machine if no
collector is used. This would prevent
the free ejection of chips.
8. BRAKE FOR BLADE-HOLDER
The planer comes equipped with a mechanical
centrifugal brake that reduces the time taken from
switch disconnection to stopping the blade-holder
down to less than 10 seconds.
For your own safety, should you notice that more
time is needed to stop, have the brake replaced at a
VIRUTEX technical service outlet.
9. REST SHOE
The S rest shoe for the planer (Fig. 11) enables you to
park the machine immediately after a work operation
with no risk of damage to the workplace surface or
the planer blades.
For the next work operation, the rest shoe swings
up out of the way, thus allowing the planer to slide
all along its base.
10. REPLACING AND
CONTROLLING THE BLADES
Always remove the plug from the
mains socket before carrying out this
operation.
a) REPLACING STANDARD BLADES
To replace standard blades or invert them to use their
reverse head, proceed as follows: Loosen the three
locking screws M (Fig. 5) using the open-end spanner
in a clockwise direction. Lower the blade-holder
protective device N (Fig. 5, 6) to obtain enough place
and to move the blade-holder sideways.
Remove the blade and replace it with a new one or
reinsert the same blade with the reverse head.
Reinsert the support with the blade into the blade
holder, checking with the help of a rule that the fixed
blade head O (Fig. 7) is level with the rule and does
not jut out. Tighten the screws M (Fig. 5) in counter-
clockwise direction with the open-end spanner.
Remove any dust and resin from the seats of the blade-
holder and supports before inserting new blades.
BLADE REGULATION
Blade supports are regulated before leaving the fac-
tory and do not require readjustment when changing
the blade. Nonetheless, if for any reason they have
to be adjusted, do so as follows:
Loosen screws M (Fig. 5) slightly with the open-end
spanner in clockwise direction.
Place a rule over the base and loosen the screws P
(Fig. 8) of the blade support to raise it or conceal it
until it is perfectly on a level with the rule. Verify this
adjustment in two points near the end of the blade.
Check that the side head of the blade O (Fig. 7) is
level with the rule and does not jut out. Tighten the
screws M (Fig. 5) in counter-clockwise direction with
the open-end spanner.
b) REPLACING HSS 3-MM STRAIGHT BLADES
The procedure for replacing straight blades is identical
to that given in section A). The only difference is that
here it is necessary to regulate the blade height (See
Figs. 12 to 19).
c) REPLACING HSS 3-MM RUSTIC BLADES
The procedure for replacing rustic blades is identical
to that given in section A). The only difference is that
here the blades require additional vertical adjustment
(See Figs. 20 to 27).
The lowest point of the rustic blade
must not jut out from the planer base.
See (Fig. 25).
After any blade change, ensure that
the 6 clamping screws M (Fig. 5) are
tightly screwed down before starting
up the planer again.
When replacing the blade-holders, use only original
VIRUTEX components.
11. CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION BELT
Always remove the plug from the mains
socket before carrying out any work
on the machine.
Remove the protective cover Q (Fig. 4) by loosening the
2 screws that hold it in place. Cut the worn toothed
belt with pliers or a knife and remove.
Clean the pulley and the driving wheel carefully before
