belt runs exactly along the length grooves of
the pinion and the pulley.
NOTE: Place the belt cover (11) back on
top and tighten it with screw.
7. FITTING A DUST BAG
This accessory can be fitted by sliding the dust
bag inlet over the planer dust extraction (5) as
far as possible. The dust bag will reduce the
efficiency of the exhaust system and the bag
must be emptied frequently to maintain the
efficiency. To empty, open the zip on the rear
of the dust bag.
NOTE: This accessory can be used for
smaller jobs.
8. EXTERNAL DUST EXTRACTION
The dust extraction (5) is best connected to a
suitable external dust extraction machine e.g.
vacuum cleaner.
9. REPLACING CARBON BRUSH
WARNING: Always be sure that the
tool is switched off and unplugged
before attempting to perform inspection
or maintenance. The motor brush can be
easily accessed the motor housing.
ATTENTION: When servicing a tool,
ALWAYS use only identical replacement
parts.
STEP 1: Locate the plastic motor brush
caps on both the front and back of the motor
housing.
STEP 2: Remove the threaded brush cap on
accessible carbon brush (20) with a flathead
screwdriver and turn the screw in a counter-
clockwise rotation to loosen.
STEP 3: Gently remove the old motor brush.
STEP 4: Carefully insert the replacement
brush. Ensure the brush is completely inserted
into the holder and is seated properly and is
free to move inside its holder.
STEP 5: Replace the brush cap with the flat-
head screwdriver, turning clockwise to tighten.
Do not apply excessive force as this may
damage the access brush caps.
10. PERPENDICULAR GUIDE FENCE (18)
The Perpendicular fence can be used to
provide accurate results for all edge planing
Perpendicular planer
operations including squaring the face,
straightening an edge and rebating.
18.1 Lock nut (2 places)
18.2 Adjusting turnbuckle (front and rear)
18.3 T section guide
18.4 Locking knob.
18.5 Hand grip.
18.6 Lower datum edge.
18.7 Perpendicular working face.
18.8 Locking bolt (See fig. N)
A. INSTALLING THE PERPENDICULAR
FENCE
Slide the T section guide (18.3) of the
Perpendicular fence into the T slot (21) in the
planer base from the left as shown.
NOTE: It may be necessary to loosen the
locking knob (18.4) to allow the Locking
Bolt (18.8) to enter the T slot.
Tighten the locking knob to secure the
Perpendicular fence in the desired position.
B. SETTING THE PERPENDICULAR FENCE
POSITION.
The Perpendicular fence can be set in any
position across the planer width.
for wide material, the setting must expose
sufficient planer blade to plane the full face
width.
for narrow material, the fence setting can
be altered to maximize blade life by using
different areas of the blade as it becomes
worn.
The fence position can also be used to set
rebate width (See fig. K)
C. PLANING A PERPENDICULAR EDGE
The Perpendicular Planer will plane an edge
which is perpendicular to another face (usually
the wider face) of the work.
The work must be firmly clamped so that
both hands can be used to hold and guide the
planer.
Hold the planer on the edge to be planed
using the planer's top handle in the normal
way.
Using the left hand, apply sideways force
to hold the face of the Perpendicular fence
against the reference face of the work.
Plane in the normal way, but maintaining both
