Loosen the thumb screws which secure the chip cover.
Attach the hood to the thicknesser and secure the chip
cover and the hood together by tightening the thumb
screws.
CAUTION:
When installing the hood set, make sure that the
•
chain is not caught by the chip cover or hood set.

OPERATION

CAUTION:
Two or more pieces of narrow but similar thickness
•
stock can be passed through the thicknesser side
by side. However, allow some spacing between
the stock to permit the feed rollers to grip the
thinnest piece of stock. Otherwise, a slightly
thinner piece could be kicked back by the
cutterhead.
Always use the push stick when there is a danger
•
that your hands or fingers will come close to the
blade.
Fig.21
Place the workpiece flat on the table top.
Determine the depth of cut as described before.
Switch on the tool and wait until the blades attain full
speed. The workpiece should not be in contact with the
feed roller when you turn the tool on.
Then insert the workpiece flush with the table top.
When cutting a long or heavy workpiece, lift up its end
slightly at the start and the end of the cut to avoid
gouging or snipping at the extreme ends of the
workpiece.
The use of the tool top enables quick, effortless return
of the workpiece to the infeed table side. This is
especially convenient with two operators.
