How to use

Ensure the machine is placed on a stable, level surface and connected to a suitable dust extraction system. For surface planing, adjust the infeed table to the desired cutting depth (up to 4mm) and pass the rough timber over the cutter head while applying firm, even pressure. To switch to thicknessing, use the single-handed table lift to raise both tables simultaneously without removing the fence, then feed the material through the thicknessing port. Use the digital height readout and automatic material measurement for precise, repeatable setups.
