ASSEMBLY

Unpacking
Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Familiarise

yourself with all its features and functions.
Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good

condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such

parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.

Bench mounting
• Set up the unit on a firm,

flat surface so that the

table is horizontal and the

unit cannot tip over

• When siting the tool in a

permanent position, ensure

that it is fixed to a rigid

work surface

1. Use the holes in the base

of the planer/thicknesser as a template to mark and

drill four holes in your intended mounting surface (i.e.

workbench). Secure the unit in position using large

bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied)

2. If the planer/thicknesser is intended to be portable, fix

a board to the base which can be easily clamped and

removed from various mounting surfaces

3. Ensure bolts are long enough to penetrate the

workbench or board sufficiently for a secure fix

Attaching the crank handle

on the right hand side of the planer:
1. Thread spring washer onto

Crank Handle Retaining Bolt

2. Fit the crank handle onto

the gear screw

3. Use the bolt to secure the

crank handle in position.

Use the Hex Key (15) to

tighten the bolt

4. Insert the Crank Handle Fixing Cap (8) to conceal the

fixing

Attaching the dust chute
The Dust Chute (5) can be mounted for extraction of

waste at either end of the planer

Thumb Screws (6) to mount

the dust chute onto the

Rollercase (1) using the Dust

Chute Fixing Positions (18)
