Table calibration
1. Place a spirit level (not provided) or similar, flat on the Outfeed Table (2) over the
Blade Drum (3) (Image A)
2. Turn the Cutting Depth Adjustment Knob (8) clockwise to raise the Infeed Table (4) (lower
cutting depth), or anti-clockwise to lower the table (increase cutting depth), aligning the
Infeed Table with the Outfeed Table
3. Once the two tables are aligned, check the Cutting Depth Indicator (7) is aligned with the '0'
on the cutting depth scale. If the indicator is not aligned, loosen the Phillips head screw
securing the indicator, and align with '0' (Image B)
Fence installation
1. Align the Fence Bracket (19) with the Fence Bracket Mount (14) and loosely secure in place,
using the provided bolts (Image C)
Note: Secure the Fence Brackets loosely, as the Guide Fence (23) will need to be calibrated later.
2. Install the Guide Fence to the Fence Brackets, ensuring the Fence Securing Arms (24) are on
the outside of the Fence Brackets
3. Install the Coach Bolts (18) loosely from the outside. The Fence Securing Arms are used to
secure the Coach Bolts whilst fastening (Image D)
• Calibrating the Guide Fence:
1. Using a pair of engineers' squares, place one on the table surface (horizontal alignment) with
the second against the Guide Fence (vertical alignment) (Image E)
2. Ensure the Guide Fence is square to the table surface and fasten the Fence Bracket, followed
by the Coach Bolts
Blade cover installation
Note: The Blade Cover also acts as a guide for the workpiece. Use the Blade Cover to secure your
workpiece against the Guide Fence.
1. Remove the upper half of the Blade Cover Holder (5) using a Phillips head screwdriver
(not provided)
2. Place the Blade Cover (25) into the Blade Cover Holder and reinstall the upper half of the
holder (Image F)
3. Install the Securing Knob (17) into the Blade Cover Securing Hole (6). Use the knob to
secure the Blade Cover in place
4. Install the second Securing Knob in the Height Adjustment Securing Hole (11)
5. The Blade Cover assembly is now ready to use
Dust extraction
• Adequate dust extraction is essential for a safe workplace; the fine fibres produced from planing
operations can be hazardous to health. Always wear a dust mask when operating this machine
• If using an external dust extraction device, install the Dust Port Adaptor (22) to the Dust
Extraction Port (16) using the screws provided (Image G)
• Connect the external dust extraction device to the Dust Port Adaptor
Operation
WARNING: ALWAYS wear eye protection, adequate respiratory and hearing protection, as well as
suitable gloves, when working with this tool.
Switching ON & OFF
• Lift the cover of the ON/OFF Switch Box (9) to gain access to the ON and OFF buttons
• Switch the machine ON by pressing the green 'I' button
• Switch the machine OFF by pressing the red 'O' button, or by pressing down on the Emergency
Stop Button (10)
Note: If the Bench Planer has a sudden power overload during use, the overload protection will
automatically operate and cut mains power to the planer, which will prevent the tool from working.
If this happens, turn the Bench Planer OFF then press the Overload Protection Reset Switch (26) to
reset the tool. The tool can now be powered ON again, following the above procedure.
Fence angle adjustment
1. The Guide Fence (23) angle can be adjusted to accommodate a variety of workpiece shapes
2. Loosen the Coach Bolts (18) and adjust the Guide Fence to the desired angle
3. Tighten the Coach Bolts to secure the Guide Fence in place
Additional workpiece support
• Position the Blade Cover (25) to rest lightly on top of the workpiece during cutting operations
for additional support
• Loosen the Securing Knobs (17) to adjust the Blade Cover's horizontal and vertical
positioning (Image H)
• Tighten the Securing Knobs to secure the Blade Cover in position
• Cutting depth adjustment
WARNING: ALWAYS ensure the tool is switched off and disconnected from the power
supply before attempting to adjust the depth of cut. NEVER adjust the depth of cut when the
tool is running.
1800W Bench Planer
• Turn the Cutting Depth Adjustment Knob (8) anti-clockwise to increase the cutting depth
• Turn the Cutting Depth Adjustment Knob clockwise to decrease the cutting depth
• The cutting depth is displayed on a graduation scale located beneath the Cutting
Depth Indicator (7)
Bench planer operation
WARNING: Keep hands and fingers away from the Blade Drum (3). When feeding a workpiece in
close proximity to the Blade Drum (3), always use a push-stick or pressure pad.
WARNING: If the Blade Drum stops during the cutting process, immediately switch off the power.
Do not restart the tool partway through making a cut, and do not attempt to make partial cuts to
the workpiece.
WARNING: Always store the push-stick within easily accessible reach when operating the bench
planer.
• With the machine off, adjust the Blade Cover (25) to rest lightly on the top of the workpiece
• Start the machine and wait for the Blade Drum to reach full operating speed before
commencing the cut
• Slowly feed the workpiece from the Infeed Table (4) through the blade
• Use a push-stick to feed the workpiece in close proximity to the Blade Drum
• When the cutting procedure has finished, turn off the machine and wait for the Blade Drum to
stop revolving before removing the workpiece
• For a smooth finish, make multiple passes with a smaller cutting depth until the desired amount
of material has been removed

Accessories

Drive belt replacement
1. Remove the three bolts securing the Drive Belt Cover (12) and remove the cover (Image I)
2. Replace the old drive belt, ensuring the teeth sit within the grooves on the pulley
3. Refit the Drive Belt Cover and three securing bolts
Blade replacement
WARNING: ALWAYS wear cut-proof gloves when handling the blades.
WARNING: Only use blades that are specifically designed for the machine.
1. Move the Guide Fence (23) away from the Blade Drum (3) area to give sufficient clearance
for blade removal
2. Use the Multi-Wrench (20) to loosen the four blade bolts securing the blade assembly
approximately half a turn clockwise
Note: The blade securing bolts need to be turned clockwise to loosen their grip on the blade.
3. Carefully remove the worn blade from the Blade Drum, and clean the blade slot of any debris
4. Insert the new blade, ensuring the tallest edge is facing the Infeed Table (4)
Setting the Blades
It is essential that the blades are set correctly or the workpiece will end up rough and uneven. For
a clean, smooth cut, the blades must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, i.e.
parallel to the table surface.
This is done using the Blade Alignment Tool (21).
To align the Blade:
1. With the Blade installed in the Drum place the Blade Alignment Tool in position and press the
blade so that it is flush with the outfeed table.
2. While holding the Blade Alignment Tool in position with one hand, tighten the blade in position
by turning the blade screws anti-clockwise using the Multi-Spanner (Image J).
3. Rotate the Drum by hand to check than it turns clear of any obstructions
4. Repeat if necessary.
Nicks in surface
The cutting edge of one or all blades is not parallel to the rear base.
Gouging at start
One or all blades are not protruding enough in relation to the rear base.
