PROPOSITION 65 WARNING: Some dust created

by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other

construction activities contains chemicals known to the

state of California to cause cancer, birth defects or

other reproductive harm.

Some examples of these chemicals are:

.Lead from lead-based paints.

. Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

masonry products.

. Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lum-

ber.

Your risk from these exposures vary, depending on how

often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure

to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and

work with approved safety equipment. Always wear

OSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or

respirator when using such tools.

CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures

as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with

use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-

less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe

personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing,

gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry

which may get caught in moving parts of machine.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

• Wear safety glasses complying with United States

ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact

resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools

when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications

that cause drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite

accidents.

• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.

• Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do

not expose power tools to rain.

• Work area should be properly lighted.

• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for

tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly

into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.

• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and

the three wires of the extension cord should be of

the correct gauge.

• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child-

proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch

keys to prevent any unintentional use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

° Always unplug tool prior to inspection.

• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-

ing procedures.

• Keep tool lubricated and clean for safest operation.

• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to

see that adjusting tools are removed before switch-

ing machine on.

• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine

that the guard or other parts will operate properly

and perform their intended function.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of

moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any

other condition that may affect a tool's operation.

• A guard or other part that is damaged should be

properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform

makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order

replacement parts.)

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

° Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

. Disconnect tool when changing blades.

•Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch

is in the OFF position before plugging in.

•Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the

rate for which it was designed.

• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting

surfaces.

• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power

off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete

stop.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.

• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is

tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.

• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-

tion and specific limitations.

• Use recommended accessories (refer to page 13).

Use of improper accessories may cause risk of

injury to persons.

• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-

sible injury.

• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs

too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it

stuck in the work.)

• Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in

place and in proper operating condition.

• Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of

rotation.

CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of

operator common sense and alertness at all times

when tool is being used.

WARNING: Do not attempt to operate tool until it is

completely assembled according to the instructions.

is not permitted in Canada.)

Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is

permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side

of the adapter must be securely connected to a

permanent electrical ground such as a properly

grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box

or a properly grounded wire system.

° Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet

boxes are not properly grounded. To ensure proper

ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-

fied electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS

. The use of any extension cord will cause some drop

in voltage and loss of power.

. Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size

to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.

o Use the table to determine the minimum wire size

(A.W.G.) extension cord.

instructions and precautions before operating tool.

WARNING: Operation of any power tool can result in

foreign objects being thrown into eyes which can result

in severe eye damage. Always wear safety goggles

complying with United States ANSI Z87.1 (shown on

package) before commencing power tool operation.

CAUTION: Always observe the following safety pre-

cautions:

• Know general power tool safety. Make sure all pre-

cautions are understood (see pages 2, 3, 5 and 6).

• Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer,

turn switch OFF and remove plug from power source.

• Make sure all guards are properly attached and

securely fastened.

• Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.

• Always wear eye protection or face shield.

• Make sure blades are aligned and properly attached

to cutterhead.

• Do not plug in planer unless switch is in off position.

After turning switch on, allow planer to come to full

speed before operating.

• Keep hands clear of all moving parts.

• Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat

motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.

• Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are

smoother with good quality wood.

• Do not plane material shorter than 15", narrower

than 8/4"_wider than 13" or thinner than 1/2".

• Never make planing cut deeper than %_".

• For workpieces longer than 24"_ use material

support stands. See Recommended Accessories,

page 13.

• Do not back the work toward the infeed side.

• Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit any-

one to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.

Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.

• Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever

planer is not in use.

• Replace knives as they become damaged or dull.

• Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance

instructions (see pages 8 -9).

CIRCUIT BREAKER

Refer to Figure 5.

The planer is equipped with a motor protection

device-circuit breaker. The breaker will automatically

shut the planer off when excessive current is consumed.

If the breaker is tripped, turn the planer off and reset

the circuit by pressing the button.

CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer off prior to reset-

ting the circuit breaker to avoid unintentional start-up of

the planer.

DEPTH OF CUT

Refer to Figure 12.

Thickness planing refers to the sizing of lumber to a

desired thickness while creating a level surface parallel

to the opposite side of the board. Board thickness which

the planer will produce is indicated by the scale (Key

No.30).

Depth-of-cut is adjusted by raising or lowering the

rollercase using handle (Key No. 27).

. Each full rotation of the handle moves the rollercase

1/16 tt

. Quality of thickness planing depends on the opera-

tor's judgement about the depth of cut.

. Depth of cut depends on the width, hardness, damp-

ness, grain direction and grain structure of the wood.

. Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is '/8" for planing operations on work-

pieces up to 6" wide. Workpiece must be positioned

away from the center tab on the rollercase to cut W'.

. Maximum thickness of wood which can be removed

in one pass is '/,6" for planing operations on work-

piece from 6" up to 13" wide.

CAUTION: A %2"depth-of-cut on hard, softwood 6-13"

wide can be made. However, continuous operation at

this set-up can cause premature motor failure.

. For optimum planing performance, the depth of cut

should be less than 1/18".

. Board should be planed with shallow cuts until the

work has a level side. Once a level surface has been

created, flip the lumber and create parallel sides.

. Plane alternate sides until the desired thickness is

obtained. When half of total depth of cut is taken from

each side, the board will have a uniform moisture con-

tent and additional drying will not cause it to warp.

. Depth of cut should be shallower when work is wider.

. When planing hardwood, take light cuts or plane the

wood in thin widths.

. Make a test cut with a test piece and verify the thick-

ness produced.

. Check accuracy of test cut prior to working on fin-

ished product.

DEPTH-OF-CUT GAUGE

Refer to Figure 13.

A spring loaded depth-of-cut gauge (Key No. 23) is

attached to front of rollercase. The pointer on depth-of-

cut gauge accurately displays the depth-of-cut per pass

when workpiece is positioned below the gauge.

Cranking the handle moves the rollercase down and the

pointer shows depth-of-cut up to 3/82"

Recommended Maximum Depth-Of-Cut:

Hard/Softwood up to 6" wide: .................. 1/8"

Hard/Softwood 6-1 3" wide: ...................... %2"

CAUTION: A 8/82"depth-of -cut on hard, softwood

6-13" wide can be made. However, continuous opera-

tion at this set-up can cause premature motor failure.

WORKPIECE THICKNESS PRE-SET GAUGE

Refer to Figure 7.

An eight position workpiece thickness pre-set control

knob is mounted on right side of planer. This knob allows

operator to preset the desired finished workpiece thick-

ness. Eight settings are provided: W', W', 1/2",8/4",1", 1W',

1W'and 18/4".

Example: Plane a 2" thick workpiece up to 11/4".

• Raise or lower rollercase until it is just above the

workpiece.

• Position the workpiece on the planer table below the

rollercase.

• Rotate knob until 11/4"is indicated.

• The planer is now set to stop the rollercase when

the workpiece thickness reaches 11/4".

NOTE: To reset for a different depth stop, raise the

rollercase by about 2 rotations. Turn knob to desired

set-up.

Figure 7 - Workpiece Thickness Pre-set Guage

AVOID DAMAGE TO BLADES

• Thickness planer is a precision woodworking

machine and should be used on quality lumber only.

• Do not plane dirty boards; dirt and small stones are

abrasive and will wear out blade.

• Remove nails and staples. Use planer to cut wood only.

• Avoid knots. Heavily cross-grained wood makes

knots hard. Knots can come loose and jam blade.

CAUTION: Any article that encounters planer blades

may be forcibly ejected from planer creating risk of injury.

PREPARE WORK

• Thickness planer works best when lumber has at

least one flat surface.

• Use surface planer or jointer to create a flat surface.

• Twisted or severely warped boards can jam planer.

Rip lumber in half to reduce magnitude of warp.

• Work should be fed into planer in same direction as

the grain of the wood. Sometimes grain will change

directions in middle of board. In such cases, if possi-

ble, cut board in middle before planing so grain

direction is correct.

CAUTION: Do not plane board which is less than 15"

long; force of cut could split board and cause kickback.

FEEDING WORK

The planer is supplied with planing blades mounted in the

cutterhead and infeed and outfeed rollers adjusted to the

correct height. Planer feed is automatic; it will vary slightly

depending on type of wood.

• Feed rate refers to rate at which lumber travels

through planer.

• Align work perpendicular to rollercase so that work

feeds through planer straight.

• Raise/lower rollercase to produce the depth of cut

desired.

• Stand on side to which the handle is attached.

• Boards longer than 24" should have additional sup-

port from free standing material stands.

• Position the workpiece with the face to be planed on

top.

• Turn the planer on.

• Rest board end on table and direct board into planer.

• Gently slide workpiece into the infeed side of the

planer until the infeed roller begins to advance the

workpiece.

• Let go of the workpiece and allow automatic feed to

advance the workpiece.

• Do not push/pull on workpiece. Move to the rear and

receive planed lumber by grasping it in same man-

ner as it was fed.

CAUTION: To avoid risk of injury due to kickbacks, do

not stand directly in line with front or rear of planer.

• Do not grasp any portion of board which has not

gone past out-feed roller.

• Repeat this operation on all boards which need to be

same thickness.

• Planer has return rollers on top so assistant can

pass work back to operator.

NOTE: Assistant must follow same precautions as

operator.

• Surface that the planer will produce will be smoother

if shallower depth of cut is used.

Avoiding Snipe

• Snipe refers to a depression at either end of board

caused by an uneven force on cutterhead when work

is entering or leaving planer.

• Snipe will occur when boards are not supported

properly or when only one feed roller is in contact

with work at beginning or end of cut.

•To avoid snipe, gently push the board up while feed-

ing the work until the outfeed roller starts advancing

•Move to the rear and receive planed board by gently

pushing it up when the infeed roller looses contact

with the board

•When planing more than one board of the same

thickness, butt boards together to avoid snipe

•Snipe is more apparent when deeper cuts are taken

•Feed work in direction of grain Work fed against

grain will have chipped, splintered edges

Planer will operate best if kept in good condition and

properly adjusted

CHECK FOR WORN BLADES

•Condition of blades will affect precision of cut

Observe quality of cut which planer produces to

check condition of blades

•Dull blades will tear, rather than sever wood fibers

and produce fuzzy appearance

• Raised grain will occur when dull blades pound on

wood that has varying density Raised edge will also

be produced where blades have been nicked

•Blades on this planer are reversible Blades should

always be reversed or replaced as matched set

Keeping a spare set of blades on hand is recom-

mended

CHANGING BLADES

Refer to Figures 8-10 page 8

WARNING: Always turn planer OFF and disconnect

from power source before starting any maintenance

BRUSH INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT

WARNING: Turn planer off and disconnect from power

source. Brush life depends on amount of load on motor.

Regularly inspect brushes after 100 hours of use.

Brushes are located on either side of planer motor.

° Loosen brush cap and carefully remove brush from

motor.

NOTE: Brushes are located on both front and rear

sides of planer.

° Replace brushes if spring is damaged.

° Replace brushes if carbon is worn.

. Replace brushes and tighten brush caps.

Figure 11 - Replace Brushes

ADJUSTING TABLE LEVEL

Refer to Figures 12 and 13, pages 12 and 14.

The planer will produce uneven depth of cut (tapered

cut) if the rollercase (Fig. 13, Key No. 31) is not parallel

with the base (Fig. 12, Key No. 34). To restore paral-

lelism of the rollercase with the base:

. Using a test piece, measure the height of the taper.

. Turn planer off and disconnect from power source.

. Fold the front and rear extension tables.

. Lay planer carefully on it's side so that bottom side

of the base is exposed.

° Clamp vise plier (not supplied) on the left side of

shaft (Fig. 12, Key No. 52) next to the gear (Fig. 12,

Key No. 56).

° Remove screw (Fig. 12, Key No. 59) and disengage

right gear from the elevation screw gear (Fig. 12,

Key No. 56).

° Slowly rotate handle (Fig. 12, Key No. 27) to raise or

lower rollercase. Rollercase will move by 0.006" with

every turn of the gear by one tooth. Move rollercase

tot he required distance to offset the taper.

. Re-engage the right and elevation screw gear and

replace retaining ring to secure.

° Release and remove vise plier.

o Set the planer back on its base.

o Make a test cut to verify adjustment.

REPLACING V-BELT

Refer to Figures 12 and 13, pages 12 and 14.

Inadequate tension in the V-belt (Fig. 13, Key No. 53)

will cause the belt to slip from the motor pulley (Fig. 13,

Key No. 55) or drive pulley (Fig. 13, Key No. 52). Loose

belt must be replaced. To replace V-belt:

° Turn planer off and unplug from power source.

° Loosen and remove screws on right cap (Fig. 12,

Key No. 28). Remove panel (Fig. 12, Key No. 29).

. Loosen and remove screws (Fig. 13, Key No. 28) on

belt guard (Fig. 13, Key No. 27). Remove belt guard.

o Loosen bolt (Fig.13, Key No. 39) to loosen motor

assembly.

. Remove old belt by walking the belt from motor

and drive pulleys alternatively. Push motor down and

pull the belt outward while turning the pulleys at the

same time.

. Replace with new belt. Walk the belt on to the pul-

leys in the reverse manner as when removing the

belt.

. Make sure the belt is evenly seated all the way on

the motor and drive pulley grooves.

. Pry motor upward to apply tension to belt. Secure in

position by tightening bolt (Fig. 13, Key No. 39).

. Replace belt guard and screws (Fig. 13, Key Nos. 27

and 28).

. Replace and secure right panel.

LUBRICATION

. Motor and cutterhead bearings are sealed and need

no lubrication.

. Gears and elevation screws should be cleaned of

debris and greased as needed.

CLEAN PLANER

• Keep planer clean of any wood chips, dust, dirt or debris.

• After 10 hours of operation, the chains and gears

should have wood chips, dust and old grease

removed.

• Use common automotive bearing grease to lubricate

all chains and gears. Be sure all chains and gears

have plenty of grease.

• Clean the granite table using a soft, damp cloth. Do

not use any waxes, oils or solvents on the table.

• Aprenda las normas de seguridad generales para el uso

de herramientas mecanicas. Aseg_rese de comprender

todas las precauciones (vea las paginas 20, 21,24 y 25).

• Cuando ajuste o reemplace cualquier pieza de la cepilla-

dora, Ileve el interruptor a la posici6n OFF (apagado)

y retire el enchufe de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

• Aseg_rese que todos los protectores est_n correctamente

acoplados y firmemente sujetos.

• Aseg_rese que nada obstaculice ninguna pieza m6vil.

• Siempre use protecci6n para los ojos o para la cara.

• Aseg_rese que las cuchillas est_n alineadas y correcta-

mente acopladas al portacuchilla.

• No enchufe la cepilladora a menos que el interruptor est_

en la posici6n de OFF (apagado). Despu_s de encender

el interruptor, permita que la cepilladora alcance toda la

velocidad antes de usar.

• Mantenga las manos alejadas de las piezas m6viles.

• No fuerce el corte. Si disminuye la velocidad o se

queda atascado, se recalienta el motor. Permita que

la alimentaci6n automatica funcione correctamente.

• Use madera de calidad. Las cuchillas duran mas y los

cortes resultan mas uniformes si la madera es de buena

calidad.

• No cepille material que tenga menos de 15" de Iongitud,

menos de 3/4"de ancho, mas de 13" de ancho o menos

de 1/2"de espesor.

• Nunca haga un corte de cepillado mayor de 3/32"de

profundidad.

• Para piezas de trabajo con una Iongitud mayor de 24", use

plataformas de apoyo para materiales. Vea "Accesorios

recomendados" en la pagina 13.

• No haga retroceder la pieza hacia la superficie de

alimentaci6n.

• Tome las precauciones necesarias en caso de contra-

golpes. No permita que nadie cruce ni est_ de pie en la

trayectoria de rotaci6n del portacuchilla. Los contragolpes

o los residuos arrojados iran en esta direcci6n.

• Abra el interruptor y desconecte la alimentaci6n si no

se esta usando la cepilladora.

• Reemplace las navajas si se daSan o desafilan.

• Dele mantenimiento a la cepilladora. Siga las instruc-

ciones de mantenimiento (vea las paginas 27-28).

CONTROLES DE OPERACION

INTERRUPTOR DE ON/OFF (ENCENDIDO/APAGADO)

Vea la Figura 5.

El interruptor de ON/OFF (encendido/apagado) se halla en la

parte delantera del motor de la cepilladora. Para Ilevar el

interruptor de la cepilladora a la posici6n ON (encendido),

mu_valo hacia arriba. Para Ilevar el interruptor a la posici6n

OFF (apagado), mu_valo hacia abajo.

Cortacircuito

Figura 5- Interruptor de ON/OFF (Encendido/Apagado)

y reajuste del circuito

TRABA DEL INTERRUPTOR

Vea la Figura 6.

Se puede impedir el uso no autorizado de la cepilladora

trabando el interruptor. Para trabar el interruptor:

• Gire el interruptor a la posici6n OFF (apagado) y

desconecte la cepilladora de la fuente de alimentaci6n.

• Extraiga la Ilave. No se puede Ilevar el interruptor a la

posici6n de encendido sin la Ilave.

AVlSO: Si se extrae la Ilave con el interruptor en la posici6n

de ON (encendido), se puede Ilevar a la posici6n de apagado

pero no a la de encendido.

• Para volver a insertar la Ilave, deslicela al interior de la

ranura del interruptor hasta que se acople.

ura 6 - Traba del interru uste del circuito

CORTAClRCUlTO

Vea la Figura 5.

La cepilladora esta equipada con un cortacircuito que sirve

de protecci6n al motor. El cortacircuito apaga automatica-

mente la cepilladora si se consume demasiada corriente.

Si el interruptor se dispara, apague la cepilladora y restaure

el circuito presionando el bot6n.

PRECAUCION: Aseg_rese de "apagar" la cepilladora antes

de restaurar el cortacircuito para evitar un arranque involun-

tario de la cepilladora.

PROFUNDIDAD DEL CORTE

Vea la Figura 12.

El cepillado de espesor se refiere a reducir el tamafio de la

madera al espesor deseado al mismo tiempo que se crea una

superficie nivelada, paralela al lado opuesto de la tabla. El

espesor que producira la cepilladora se indica en la escala

(clave no. 30).

La profundidad del corte se ajusta subiendo o bajando la caja

de rodillos mediante la manivela (clave no. 27).

• Cada rotaci6n completa de la manivela mueve la caja de

rodillos %".

° La calidad del cepillado de espesor depende del juicio del

operador en cuanto a la profundidad del corte.

° La profundidad del corte depende del ancho, la dureza,

la humedad, la direcci6n de la veta y de la estructura de

la veta de la madera.

° El espesor maximo de la madera que se puede eliminar

en una pasada es de 1/8"en piezas de trabajo de hasta 6"

de ancho. La pieza de trabajo se debe colocar alejada de

la lengfleta central en la caja de rodillos para cortar 1/8".

° El espesor maximo de la madera que se puede eliminar

en una pasada es de 1/18"en piezas de trabajo desde 6

hasta 13" de ancho.

PREOAUOION: Se puede efectuar un corte de 8/j, de profun-

didad en madera dura o blanda de 6-13" de ancho. No

obstante, trabajar continuamente con esta configuraci6n

puede hacer fallar el motor prematuramente.

• Si se desea obtener el mejor desempefio de la cepilladora,

la profundidad del corte debe ser menor de 1/18".

• La tabla se debe cepillar con cortes poco profundos hasta

que la pieza tenga un lado nivelado. Una vez Iograda una

superficie nivelada, d_ vuelta a la madera y haga lados

paralelos.

• Cepille los lados alternos hasta Iograr el espesor deseado.

Cuando se haya alcanzado la mitad de la profundidad

total del corte por cada lado, la tabla tendr& un contenido

de humedad uniforme y no se combar& al secarse m&s.

• La profundidad del corte debe ser menor si la pieza es

m&s ancha.

• Cuando cepille madera dura, haga cortes pequefios o

cepillela en extensiones angostas.

• Haga un corte de prueba en la madera y verifique el

espesor producido.

• Revise la precisi6n de la prueba de corte antes de

trabajar en el producto terminado.

CALIBRADOR DE PROFUNDIDAD DEL CORTE

Consulte la Figura 13.

En la parte frontal de la caja de rodillos se incluye un cali-

brador de profundidad del corte accionado por resorte (clave

no. 23). El indicador del calibrador de profundidad del corte

muestra con exactitud la profundidad del corte por pase si la

pieza de trabajo est& colocada debajo del calibrador. AI

accionar la manivela, la caja de rodillos baja y el indicador

muestra la profundidad de corte hasta %2".

Profundidad de corte maxima recomendada:

Madera dura o blanda de hasta 6" de ancho: .......... 1/8"

Madera dura o blanda de hasta 6-13" de ancho: ....... 8/32"

PRECAUCION: Se puede efectuar cortes de 8/3_"de profun-

didad en maderas duras o blandas de 6-13" de ancho. No

obstante, trabajar continuamente con esta configuraci6n

puede hacer fallar el motor prematuramente.

Figura 7 - Calibrador Preajustado del Espesor de

la Pieza de Trabajo

CALIBRADOR PREAJUSTADO DEL ESPESOR

DE LA PIEZA DE TRABAJO

Consulte la Figura 7.

En el lado derecho de la cepilladora est& instalada una perilla

preajustada que regula el espesor de la pieza de trabajo. Esta

perilla le permite al operador preestablecer el espesor de

acabado de la pieza de trabajo. Se cuenta con ocho valores

de ajuste: 1/8,lh, 1/2,8h, 1, 11/4,14, y 18h.

Por ejemplo: Cepille una pieza de trabajo de 2" de espesor

hasta 1W'.

• Suba o baje la caja de rodillos hasta que quede justo enci-

ma de la pieza de trabajo.

• Coloque la pieza de trabajo en la mesa de la cepilladora

por debajo de la caja de rodillos.

• Gire la perilla hasta que indique 11h".

• Ahora, la cepilladora est& ajustada para detener la caja de

rodillos cuando el espesor de la pieza de trabajo sea 1W'.

AVISO: Para hacer que la caja de rodillos se detenga en otra

profundidad, raise the rollercase by about 2 rotations Gire la

perilla hasta el valor deseado.

EVITE DANAR LAS CUCHILLAS

• La cepilladora de espesor es una maquina de precisi6n

para trabajar en madera y s61o se debe usar en madera

de buena calidad.

• No cepille tablas sucias; la suciedad y piedras pequefias

son abrasivas y desgastan la cuchilla.

• Extraiga los clavos y las grapas. Use la cepilladora para

cortar madera solamente.

• Evite los nudos. La madera con una veta atravesada

tupida endurece los nudos. Los nudos pueden soltarse

y atascar la cuchilla.

PRECAUClON: Todo articulo que se encuentre con las

cuchillas de la cepilladora puede ser lanzando con fuerza

y ocasionar lesiones.

PREPARAClON DEL TRABAJO

• La cepilladora de espesor funciona mejor cuando la

madera tiene por Io menos una superficie plana.

• Use la cepilladora de superficie o un cepillo mecanico de

banco para crear una superficie plana.

• Las tablas torcidas o muy combadas pueden atascar la

cepilladora. Rompa la madera en dos para reducir la

magnitud de la comba.

• Se debe alimentar la pieza a la cepilladora en la misma

direcci6n de la veta de la madera. Algunas veces la veta

cambia de direcci6n a la mitad de la tabla. En dichos casos,

si es posible, corte la tabla por la mitad antes de cepillar

de modo que la direcci6n de la veta sea la correcta.

PRECAUCION: No cepille una tabla que tenga menos de 15"

de Iongitud; la fuerza del corte puede partir la tabla y producir

un contragolpe.

ALIMENTACION DE LA PIEZA DE TRABAJO

La cepilladora viene con las cuchillas de cepillado montadas

en el portacuchilla y con los rodillos de alimentaci6n y salida

ajustados a la altura correcta. La alimentaci6n de la cepilladora

es automatica; varia un poco dependiendo del tipo de madera.

• La velocidad de alimentaci6n se refiere a la velocidad a la

que avanza la madera a trav6s de la cepilladora.

• Alinee la pieza de trabajo de manera perpendicular a la

caja de rodillos de modo que la misma avance a trav6s de

la cepilladora de forma recta.

• Suba o baje la caja de rodillos para Iograr la profundidad

de corte deseada.

• Permanezca en el lado al cual esta acoplada la manivela.

• La tablas con una Iongitud mayor de 24" deben tener mayor

apoyo mediante pedestales de material independientes.

• Coloque la pieza de trabajo con la cara que se va a cepillar

en la parte superior.

• Encienda la cepilladora.

• Haga descansar el extremo de la tabla en la mesa y

dirfjala hacia el interior de la cepilladora.

• Suavemente, deslice la pieza de trabajo hacia el interior

del lado de alimentaci6n de la cepilladora hasta que el

rodillo de alimentaci6n haga avanzar la pieza.

• Suelte la pieza de trabajo y permita que la alimentaci6n

automatica la haga avanzar.

• No empuje ni tire de la pieza de trabajo. Mu6vase a la

parte trasera y reciba la tabla cepillada agarrandola de

la misma manera en que la aliment6.

PRECAUCION: Para evitar el riesgo de sufrir lesiones debido

a los contragolpes, no se ponga de pie directamente en linea

con la parte delantera o trasera de la cepilladora.

• No agarre ninguna parte de la tabla que no haya pasado

por el rodillo de salida.

• Repita esta operaci6n con todas las tablas que deban

tener el mismo espesor.

• La cepilladora cuenta con rodillos de retorno en la parte

superior de modo que el ayudante pueda devolverle la

pieza al operador.

AVlSO: El ayudante tiene que tomar las mismas precauciones

que el operador.

• La superficie que produce la cepilladora es mas lisa si se

usa una profundidad de corte menor.

C6mo evitar el redondeo

• El redondeo se refiere a la depresi6n en cualquier extremo

de la tabla producido por una fuerza dispareja en el porta-

cuchilla cuando la pieza entra o sale de la cepilladora.

• El redondeo se produce cuando las tablas no estan correc-

tamente apoyadas o cuando solamente un rodillo de

alimentaci6n esta en contacto con la pieza al comienzo

o final del corte.

° Para evitar el redondeo, empuje suavemente la tabla hacia

arriba al tiempo que la alimenta hasta que el rodillo de

salida la haga avanzar.

° Mu6vase a la parte trasera y reciba la tabla cepillada

empujandola suavemente hacia arriba cuando el rodillo

de alimentaci6n deje de hacer contacto con la tabla.

• Cuando cepille mas de una tabla del mismo espesor haga

que las tablas se topen entre si para evitar el redondeo.

• El redondeo es mas evidente cuando se hacen cortes

mas profundos.

° Alimente el trabajo en la direcci6n de la veta. La madera

que se alimenta en contra de la veta tendra bordes pica-

dos y astillados.

° Asegt_rela en su posici6n apretando la cinta.

La cepilladora funciona mejor si se mantiene en buen estado

y ajustada adecuadamente.

VERIFIQUE QUE NO ESTEN DESGASTADAS LAS

CUCHILLAS

• El estado de las cuchillas afecta la precisi6n del corte.

Preste atenci6n a la calidad del corte que produce la

cepilladora para verificar el estado de las cuchillas.

• Las hojas desafiladas rasgan, en vez de cortar, las fibras

de madera y dan una apariencia fibrosa.

• La veta se eleva si las cuchillas desafiladas golpean

madera de densidad variable. Si las cuchillas tienen

picaduras, se elevan ademas los bordes.

• Las cuchillas en esta cepilladora son reversibles. Las

cuchillas deben siempre invertirse o reemplazarse en con-

juntos que hagan juego. Se recomienda contar con un

conjunto de cuchillas de reemplazo.

CAMBIO DE LAS CUCHILLAS

Vea la Figuras 8-10, las paginas 22 y 23.

ADVERTENCIA: Lleve siempre el interruptor de la cepilla-

dora a la posici6n OFF (apagado) y descon6ctela de la

fuente de alimentaci6n antes de iniciar cualquier tarea de

mantenimiento.

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos de mariposa del canal para

polvo y el cap6, a un lado de la cepilladora. Retire el canal

para polvo y el cap&

Figura 8 - Retire el Canal para Polvo y el Cap6

Afloje y extraiga tres tornillos y la protecci6n de la correa.

Oprima el pestillo del portacuchillas y haga rotar cuida-

dosamente la banda hasta que el portacuchillas quede fijo

en su posici6n.

Figura 9 - Retire los pernos de la cuSa

• Afloje, pero no extraiga, los ocho tornillos ubicados en la

cu5a. Afloje los tornillos Io suficiente para que la cu5a se

suelte y permita la remoci6n de la cuchilla.

• Inserte la herramienta de remoci6n de imanes de la

cuchilla debajo del centro de la cu5a.

• Levante la herramienta hasta que la cuchilla quede sepa-

rada de los pasadores y luego extraiga la cuchilla.

AVISO: El iman se pueden separar facilmente de la cuba

inclinandolos hacia la izquierda o derecha.

PRECAUCION: Los bordes de la cuchilla estan extrema-

damente afilados. Mantenga los dedos alejados de la

cuchillas en todo momento.

• La cuchilla esta ubicada en su posici6n mediante dos

pasadores. Separe cuidadosamente las cuchillas usadas

del portacuchillas mediante los imanes. No toque la

cuchilla con los dedos. Use s61o el iman.

• Invierta o reemplace la cuchilla y col6quela con cuidado

en los dos pasadores usando un iman.

• Reemplace la cu5a y alinee los agujeros de la cu5a y los

de la cuchilla usando un iman.

• Asegure la cu5a al portacuchilla mediante los ochos per-

nos aflojados previamente.

• Oprima el pestillo para soltar el portacuchilla. Suelte el

pestillo cuando pueda girar manualmente el portacuchilla.

• Gire con la mano el portacuchilla hasta que Io detenda el

INSPECCION Y REEMPLAZO DE LOS CEPILLOS

ADVERTENCIA: Abra el interruptor y desconecte la herra-

mienta de la fuente de alimentaci6n. La vida _til de los

cepillos depende de la carga a que se someta el motor.

Inspeccione los cepillos regularmente cada 100 horas de

uso. Los cepillos estan situados a cada lado del motor de

la cepilladora.

• Afloje el tapacepillo y retire suavemente el cepillo del

motor.

AVlSO: Los cepillos estan situados en las partes delantera y

trasera de la cepilladora.

• Reemplace los cepillos si el resorte esta da_ado.

• Reemplace los cepillos si el carb6n esta desgastado.

• Reemplace los cepillos y apriete los tapacepillos.

Figura 11 - Reemplace los cepillos

AJUSTE DEL NIVEL DE LA MESA

Vea las Figuras 12 y 13, paginas 12 y 14.

La cepilladora producira una profundidad de corte dispareja

(corte ahusado) si la caja de rodillos (Fig. 13, Clave No. 31)

no esta paralela a la base (Fig. 12, Clave No. 34). Para

restaurar el paralelismo de la caja de rodillos a la base:

• Vali_ndose de una pieza de prueba, mida la altura del

adaptador c6nico.

• Apague la cepilladora y desconecte de la fuente de

alimentaci6n.

• Pliegue las tablas de extensi6n delantera y trasera.

• Apoye cuidadosamente la cepilladora sobre su lado de

modo que el lado inferior de la base quede expuesto.

• Aplique un alicate de prensa de tornillo (no incluido) al

lado izquierdo del eje (Fig. 12, Clave No. 52), al lado del

engranaje (Fig. 12, Clave No. 56).

• Extraiga el tornillo (Fig. 12, Clave No. 59) y desengrane el

engranaje derecho del engranaje del tornillo de elevaci6n.

• Gire lentamente la manivela (Fig. 12, Clave No. 27) para

elevar o bajar la caja de rodillos. La caja de rodillos se

mover& 0.006" con cada vuelta de un diente del engrana-

je. Mueva la caja de rodillos la distancia necesaria para

descentrar el adaptador c6nico.

• Vuelva a engranar el engranaje derecho y el engranaje del

tornillo de elevaci6n, y a colocar el anillo para asegurarlos.

• Suelte y retire el alicate de prensa de tornillo.

• Coloque de nuevo la cepilladora sobre su base.

• Haga un corte de prueba para verificar el ajuste.

REEMPLAZO DE LA CORREA EN V

Vea las Figuras 12 y 13, p&ginas 12 y 14.

La tensi6n incorrecta de la correa en V (Fig. 13, Clave No. 53)

hara que se deslice de la polea del motor (Fig. 13, Clave No.

55) o de la polea impulsora (Figura 13, Clave No. 52). Se

deben reemplazar las correas que est_n flojas. Para reem-

plazar la correa en V:

• Apague la cepilladora y desenchSfela de la fuente de

alimentaci6n.

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos en la tapa derecha (Fig. 12,

Clave No. 28). Retire el panel (Fig. 12, Clave No. 29).

• Afloje y extraiga los tornillos (Fig. 13, Clave No. 28) en la

protecci6n de la correa (Fig. 13, Clave No. 27). Retire la

protecci6n de la correa.

• Afloje el perno (Fig.13, Clave No. 39) para aflojar el

conjunto del motor.

• Retire la correa usada haci_ndola pasar alternadamente

por el motor y las poleas impulsoras. Empuje el motor

hacia abajo y tire de la correa hacia fuera a la vez que

gira las poleas simult&neamente.

• Coloque la correa nueva. Haga pasar la correa por las

poleas de manera inversa a como cuando la extrajo.

• AsegSrese que la correa est_ asentada completamente

en las ranuras de tanto la polea del motor como de la

impulsora.

• Apalanque el motor hacia arriba para aplicar tensi6n a la

correa. Asegure en posici6n apretando el perno (Fig. 13,

Clave No. 39).

• Vuelva a colocar la protecci6n de la correa y los tornillos

(Fig. 13, Claves No. 27 y 28).

• Vuelva a colocar y asegurar el panel derecho.

LUBRICAClON

• Los rodamientos del portacuchilla y del motor vienen

sellados y no necesitan lubricaci6n.

• Los engranajes y los tornillos de elevaci6n deben

limpiarse, para eliminar los residuos, y engrasarse.

LIMPIEZA DE LA CEPILLADORA

• Mantenga la cepilladora sin astillas de madera, polvo,

suciedad y residuos.

• Despu_s de 10 horas de funcionamiento, se debe retirar

de las cadenas y engranajes las astillas de madera, el

polvo y la grasa vieja.

• Use grasa de rodamientos automotrices para lubricar

todas las cadenas y engranajes. AsegSrese que todas

as cadenas y engranajes tengan suficiente grasa.

• Limpie la mesa de granito con un patio suave, hSmedo.

No utilice ceras, aceites ni solventes en la mesa.
