Materials & care

Keep the cast iron tables clean and waxed to prevent rust and ensure smooth material feed. Regularly check and sharpen or replace blades for optimal cutting performance. Inspect drive belts periodically and keep the machine covered when not in use to protect against dust and moisture.

How to use

Set the desired depth of cut before feeding timber through the machine. For surfacing, pass the board flat-side down over the planer tables. For thicknessing, feed the board through the thicknesser bed, taking light passes to achieve the required dimension. Always wear appropriate eye and ear protection and ensure dust extraction is connected.
