6) • Check that the room is well lit.
• Make sure that the saw table is clear of any tools.
• Check that the saw guard is against the top of the
board.
• Start the saw, wait until the saw is at full speed, use a
push stick (D) to safely push the work piece through.
• Turn off the saw, wait until the saw comes to a
complete stop before removing the board.

7) Use the extension table/fence when cutting large
pieces of board at 90˚.
8) There is an angle scale mounted on top of the
extension table, to set the fence at required angles
for cutting parallel cuts.
Planer/Thicknesser Blades
WARNING!! DISCONNECT THE MACHINE FROM
THE MAINS BEFORE CONTINUING!
The planer blades are mounted into 3 slot housings
machined in the cutter block. The slot housing comprises
of a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse tapered slot
alongside it, see fi g 56.
The depth of the fi rst slot governs the seating of the
chip breaker/wedge, the second slot allows the blade to
be set to its correct depth in the block. The chip breaker/
wedge is machined with a tapered face set at the same
angle as the slot. This allows the blade to be clamped
between parallel faces. The block will accept blades
250mm x 3mm x 30mm. After sharpening, the blades will
reduce over their height dimension, but the blades can be
safely used until their overall height dimension is 17mm,
then the blades must be discarded as they can no longer
be securely clamped in the housing.
The reverse taper slot has a series of blind holes bored in
the bottom surface into which springs are fi tted. These
springs act against the bottom of the planer blade, to
push it into contact with the setting tool, when the
blades are being positioned after changing.

Changing the Blades
Locate the 5.5mm x 7mm A/F spanner in the tool kit.
Turn the cutter block until one of the slots is uppermost,
(between the tables). Using the spanner drive the 5 No.
bolts into the chip breaker/wedge, thus removing the
clamping effect. This should allow the blade to ‘spring’ up
to protrude clear of the edge of the cutter block.
Carefully remove the blade, lay aside. Remove the
chip breaker/wedge, lay aside, fi nally remove the springs
