Draw a line of reference R, for approximation plan-
ing (Fig. 4).
Loosen knob A, set the cut depth to "0" using knob
C and secure the shoe in a horizontal position once
again using knob A (Fig. 4). Place the machine on the
piece to be planed. Give the base a slightly higher
radius than that of the piece to be planed and secure
it in position using knob B (Fig. 4).
Set the desired cut depth using knob C (Fig. 4).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in sec tion 5
(Fig. 1).
To plane out irregularities by area, use the shoe or
base surface as a support to commence cutting. Once
on the piece, modify the plane position slightly so that
it is sup port ed on the ends of the shoe and the base,
closest to the blades as seen in (Fig. 4).
Finish planing:
To plane a convex surface with uniform thickness or
to give a continuous fi nish to a close planed surface
as described in the previous section, proceed as
follows:
Set the cut depth to "0" using knob C (Fig. 5).
Loosen knobs A and B which secure the shoe and the
base. Place the planer on the surface to be worked,
adapting the shoe and the base to the radius of the
piece, securing them in the desired position using
knobs A and B, re spec tive ly (Fig. 5). Check that slip-
per and the base are parallel, making sure that the
same division is shown over straps L (Fig. 10) on both
sides of the planer.
Adjust the cut depth to the desired level using knob
C (Fig. 5).
Mount the lateral fence as indicated in sec tion 5
(Fig. 1).
To plane the piece, use the shoe surface as a support
guide to commence cutting and grad u al ly widen the
sup port to the entire base.
PLANING FLAT SURFACES
Loosen knobs A and B (Fig. 6) to release the front shoe
and the base from the curvature straps.
Set the shoe to "0" using knob C (Fig. 6).
Place the planer on the fl at surface. Pressing the rear
part of the base so that it adapts to the horizontal
plane, secure knob B (Fig. 6). Set the shoe to the
desired cut depth using knob C and secure knob A in
this position (Fig. 6).
PLANING WITH CONCAVE BLADES (Optional)
To give surfaces a rustic, old-fashioned fi nish that
looks identical to an adze fi nish.
Getting the planer ready
Mount the concave blades as shown in Figures 11
to 16.
Position the base and shoe of the machine, as if you
were about to plane a concave surface (Fig. 2).
Place the shoe at its maximum cutting depth.
Rustic planing
To carry out a planing job that will leave concave
marks in the lumber, position the planer on the lumber
6
so that it is leaning against the front end of the shoe.
Then switch it on and swing it downwards. When it
reaches the end of the shoe, the blades will begin to
cut the lumber. At this point, stop the swinging motion
and move the planer lengthways so as to lengthen the
cutting mark in the lumber. Then start the swinging
motion once again until the blade leaves the cut.
7. REPLACING AND REGULATING
STRAIGHT BLADES
WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the pow er
source before performing the following op er a tions.
REPLACING BLADES
Loosen screws D (Fig. 7) with the blade securing key and
move the blade laterally to free it from the support.
Place a new blade into the support or use the second
cutting edge of the blade just ex tract ed.
With the help of a ruler, S, confi rm that the side of
the blade
reaches the level of the shoe and the base without
pro trud ing and tighten the screws D (Fig. 7).
WARNING! It is very important to verify the side of the
blade with the ruler; if it exceeds the level of the shoe
or the base, it will rub against the lateral fence when
the square is being used.
ADJUSTING BLADES
The blade supports are already adjusted from the fac-
tory and do not require readjustment when the blades
are changed. How ev er, if you wish to readjust them,
proceed as follows:
Set the shoe to "0" using knob C (Fig. 7).
Place a ruler S, between the shoe and the base and
loosen screws E of the blade support to lift or lower
the blade until it is perfectly even with the ruler and
parallel to the base of the machine (Fig. 7).
WARNING! Ensure that screws D (Fig. 7) are correctly
tightened before resuming work with the machine.
For blade-holder system spares use only original
VIRUTEX components.
8. CHANGING THE TRANSMISSION BELT
WARNING! Disconnect the machine from the pow er
source before performing the following op er a tion.
Unscrew screws G (Fig. 8) and remove protection F.
Replace the worn belt with a VIRUTEX original spa-
re, taking care to fi t it correctly into the pulley teeth,
never forcing it.
9. DUST COLLECTOR CONNECTION
To assemble the dust collector connection, detach the
shav ing outlet guide H (Fig. 9) by removing screw I
and insert the dust collector connection in the same
opening.
The planer may be connected to the Virutex Vacuum
cleaner AS182K, AS282K either directly or by means of
a dust col lec tor attachment 6446073. This at tach ment
may also be used to connect the planer to any industrial
sawdust collector.
