    General Instructions for 230v Machines

    Good Working Practices/ SafetyThe following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself and fellowworkers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.

    WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN

    Mains Powered Tools

    Primary Precautions

    These tools are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. Plug and 3 core power cable. Before using the toolinspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any damage is visible have the toolinspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to usean unbreakable type that will resis t damage on site. Only use a 13 Amp plug, and make sure the cableclamp is tightened securely. Fuse as required. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safetychecks on them, and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required foryour machine.

    Work Place/EnvironmentThe machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to get wet. If thetool is to be used outside and it starts to rain (unusual though this would be in U.K.), stop work and move itinside. If tool has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel. Do not use 230Va.c.powered tools anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do not trail extension cablesacross wet areas.

    General Instructions for the 230v Machines (Continued)

    Keep the tools clean; it will enable you to more easily see any damage that may have occurred. Clean thetool with a damp soapy cloth if needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damageto any plastic parts or to the electrical components.Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel as well as material.Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed in work areas.It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make sure tounplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body andnot the cable. Once you are ready to commence work, remove any tools used in the setting operations(if any) and place safely out of the way. Re- connect the machine.Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool, drill bit etc., is securely tightened in the machine, check

    you have the correct speed and function set, check that the power cable will not snag etc.Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc.If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, wear the appropriate safetyclothing, goggles, gloves, masks etc. If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wearear-defenders. If you wear your hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even asweatband, will minimise the possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine,likewise, consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be asnag hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.If you are allowing another person to use the machine, ensure that they are suitably qualified to use it.Do not work with cutting or boring machine of any description if you are tired, your attention iswandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, a lost fingertip or worse; is notworth it!Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or in areaswhere there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised machines for working inthese areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.

    Check that cutters, drills etc., are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp,this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.

    Above all, OBSERVE. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR COMMONSENSE.

    Specific precautions whilst using the Planer Thicknesser machine

    Most machines currently, are well interlocked to ensure that the machine must be in the correctconfiguration to perform one task or the other. Make yourself familiar with these configurations and do nottry to use the machine in a half and half state; or rig the interlocks to enable you to do so.

    These machines are designed for cutting timber only. They will, but are not designed to, cut timberderivatives or composites. Glue lines in plywood, block board etc, will notch blades as sure as eggs iseggs. The bonding agent in chipboard is likewise detrimental to the health of your planer irons. It is best toleave them alone. If you have to machine composites, work out the costs of tungsten, against HSS (plusthe sharpening costs), and proceed accordingly. On larger machines it is common practice to leave a

    portion of the blade (usually the offside 30 mm) to be used on aggressive materials.

    Overhand planingMake sure during overhand planing operations, that the fence is set to the required angle, is securelyfastened and locked in position. Ensure the planer block guarding is in position and secured.

    Disengage the autofeed for the thicknesser.

    Ensure both tables are correctly seated and locked down.

    Ensure the dust extraction hood is in place and is not blocked.

    Fit dust extraction.

    Routine maintenance

    Your AW106PT requires minimum maintenance, but it is essential that it is carried out toensure the longevity and correct function of the machine.

    DailyCheck the overhand tables and the thicknessing bed are clean, not coated with resin etc. Apply aproprietary cleaner/lubricating agent.Check the cable and the plug for damage or defects.Mount the planer fence and check it is set upright.Check the dust extraction hood and ensure there are no excessive build ups of sawdust/resin,

    especially in the mouth of the chip deflector and around the mouth of the extractor.Check the blades for sharpness and damage.Check the rollers of the thicknessing table rotate freely, and there is no build up between theroller and the extension plate.

    WeeklyCarry out the above checks.Clean the machine thoroughly, remove any shavings, sawdust, chips etc, from in, under andaround the machine.Check the cutter block for resin build up, especially behind the blade and in the scallop of thechipbreaker/wedge.Raise the tables and brush out and clean any debris or build up around the area of the noiseattenuating slots in the edges of the overhand tables.Check the infeed and take off pressure rollers are not clogged, clean as necessary.Check the action of the anti-kickback fingers, again clean and lubricate as required.

    MonthlyCarry out the above checks.After cleaning apply a little light oil to the bearing ends of the infeed, take off and extension tablerollers.

    Refer to Fig 18,19Remove the rear machine cover plate, check the condition and tension of the drive belt. Checkthe autofeed engage and disengage function. Check the condition of the drive chains, clean andapply a light coating of oil to the chains and sprockets.Apply a light oiling to all the bearing areas, taking care not to get oil on the tyre surfaces.Replace the rear machine cover plate.

    Re-tightening table lock downsRefer to Fig 18

    If the table lock downs becomes slack they can be adjusted by altering the height of the tablelock stud. Hold the stud firmly and loosen the lock nut, adjust the stud, lightly pinch with thelock nut, try.If correct, fully tighten the lock nut, if not, repeat the process until the lock down is correct.

    Specific precautions whilst using Planer Thicknesser machine (Continued)

    Check the sharpness of planer irons, check f or nicks and notches, if there are damaged sections on theblades, try to plane in the clear areas.Especially when planing material down to thin dimensions, maintain pressure on the front of the materiali.e., that portion of the stuff that has passed over the block, but use a push stick or a pusher shoe to clearthe end of the stuff over the block.

    Thicknessing

    When thicknessing, remove the fence. Lower the thicknessing table slightly.Unlock and swing both tables up and out of the way, taking care not to foul the overhand guard/armassembly, which will probably swing free.

    Turn the dust extraction hood up and over the block.

    Connect the dust extraction. Ensure the hose will not foul any stuff being passed through the machine.

    Check the height of the thicknessing table.

    Engage the autofeed mechanism.

    Periodically, clean any excess build up of resin from the thicknessing table, and apply any proprietary brandof lubricating agent.

    Initial Assembly and Setting up

    Your machine comes enclosed in a packing case with the accessories packed on top of the tables.Having removed the top and the sides of the packing case, remove all the components from the top of themachine; put to one side. Ascertain the orientation of the machine and move it to its desired position in theworkshop. Ensure that the machine is positioned to allow sufficient clearance both in front and behind themachine to cater for the maximum length of timber you will wish to machine. Remember sufficient spacemust be left around the machine to facilitate your stance when overhand planing and moving from end toend of the machine if you are thicknessing singlehandedly. Remember that when the surface tables are upand out of the way for thicknessing, the machine is appreciably wider than when it is in overhand mode.The machine is bolted down on to the pallet that forms the bottom of the packing case. Remove these holddown bolts.

    In the packet on top of the tables you will find 2 No. small eye bolts. These screw into the top part of themachine casting (as shown in fig 1.) and can be used to hoist the machine clear of the pallet. If you do nothave the availability of such a hoist, and are going to have to manhandle the machine off the pallet; makesure the tables are locked down before applying any lifting force to them. IT IS NOT RECOMMENDEDTHAT LIFTING, PULLING OR PUSHING IS CARRIED OUT AGAINST THE TABLES. However, ifexpediency dictates that this is the only method to dismount the machine, this is what must be done. DoNot under normal circumstances lift, push or pull the machine using the tables. Any movement is bestcarried out against the main frame cabinet.The machine should be positioned on a flat level surface. Final levelling can be accomplished using thelevelling bolts in the base fillets of the legs. Once the machine is in position, and level, it can be bolted tothe floor if so required.Before adding the fence and the guarding (i.e. with the machine clean) it is a good idea to remove theprotective grease film that is coating all the unpainted parts of the machine. Use a proprietary de-greasingagent or paraffin et al. Unfortunately, this cleaning process is always a bit mucky especially if you tacklethe job with a high level of enthusiasm. You are advised to wear overalls or coveralls etc., during theprocess. After cleaning, especially if you used paraffin, lightly coat the exposed metal surfaces to preventany rusting. Bear in mind the stuff you will be machining and its possible finishing process, when youchoose your anti-corrosion agent.Locate the planer fence, the planer fence base, the two handled clamp nuts and washers.Bolt the T yoke to the planer fence base. Span the bosses of the T yoke with the two elongated slottedlugs of the fence which are loosely bolted into the fence. Fasten the fence to the yoke using the handledclamp nuts and washers, position the fence as required and fasten the four bolts that secure the mountinglugs.

    Your AW106PT offers the facility of your being able to plane right or left handed. Decide on the best andmost comfortable position for you. Locate the fence mounting bracket and fix to the machine casting asshown in Fig 2, using 2 No. M6 x 12mm caphead bolts; depending on your preferred handing. Introduce theplaner fence base into the bracket; so that the planer fence base slides into the fence mounting bracket;then secure; positioning the fence approximately mid-table (see fig 3). Mount the overhand plane guardarm onto the side of the outfeed table that corresponds to your preferred handing,then fit the overhandcutter block guard. In the accessories packet there is a small spring metal plate - this fits into the overhandguard clamping assembly to spread the load of the guard clamp onto the guard. It also prevents the bolt

    scoring the upper surface of the guard,fasten in position using the guard lock (see fig 4).

    Changing the Planer Blades (Continued)

    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 isuppermost, (between the tables). Using the spanner drive the 5 No. bolts in to thechipbreaker/wedge, thus removing the clamping effect. This should allow the blade to spring up(not like a jack in a box!) to protrude clear of the edge of the cutter block. Carefully remove theblade, lay aside. Remove the chipbreaker/wedge, lay aside, finally remove the springs from theslot and lay them aside. Repeat the process for the other two blades. If the block becomesdifficult to hold located, being out of balance with the blade/s removed; use a thin wedge ofmaterial to jam the cutter block in position. Now is a very good time to clean the slot housingsthoroughly, remove the resin build-up, sawdust, chips and any old joiners/carpenters etc., that

    have recently disappeared without trace. Ensure the circumference of the cutter block is likewisecleaned thoroughly. Remove the clamping bolts from the chipbreaker/wedges, clean the boltsand the threaded holes, clean the springs and the chipbreaker/wedges thoroughly. Apply a littlelight oil to the springs. Remove the new/sharpened blades from their keeper; set carefully tohand and put the old blades away in the keeper to be sent for sharpening. Locate the bladesetting tool and put it to hand. Screw the bolts into the chipbreaker/wedges. Select one of theslot housings and wedge the cutter block to maintain it in position. Set the springs into the holesin the bottom of the slot, introduce the chipbreaker/wedge, position it against the back of theslot, introduce a blade in front of it. Using the spanner start to unscrew the bolts, take care at thistime as the blade could be protruding well above the block. Unscrew the bolts until the wedgejust starts a nip on the blade, then screw them back in half a turn. At this point all thecomponents should be loose in the slot (not slack), carefully position the blade and the wedge toline up with the edge of the cutter block. Press the blade setting tool gently down onto the blade,(See fig 15 & 16) ensure that the locating feet are firmly in contact with the cutter block, and theblade is against the setting recess. (See fig 15 & 17) Holding the blade and the setting tool in this

    position, tighten at least two of the clamping bolts to provide a firm clamp of the blade, with thesetting tool held firmly in place. Tighten the remaining bolts. Tighten hard, but do not overtighten,remember, these are M4 bolts. Repeat this procedure for the remaining blades. When all theblades are fitted, carry out a quick check of the set of the blades, by hand rotating the cutterblock in reverse and visually inspecting the edge of the blades against a fixed point . If thisappears satisfactory, carry out a final tightness check on the clamping bolts; remove all thetools and stow away.

    Overview

    The planer blades are mounted into 3 slot housings machined in the cutter block.The slothousing comprises of a slot cut on a radial axis with a reverse tapered slot alongside it.(See fig. 14) The depth of the first slot governs the seating of the chipbreaker/wedge, the secondslot allows the blade to be set to its correct depth in the block. The chipbreaker/wedge ismachined with a tapered face set at the same angle as the slot. This allows the blade to beclamped between parallel faces. The block will accept blades 250mm x 3mm x 30mm. Aftersharpening, the blades will reduce over their height dimension, but the blades can be safely useduntil their overall height dimension is 17mm, then the blades must be discarded as they can nolonger be securely clamped in the housing. The reverse taper slot has a series of blind holesbored in the bottom surface into which springs are fitted. These springs act against the bottom ofthe planer blade, to push it into contact with the setting tool, when the blades are beingpositioned after changing.

    Note: In order to synchronise our understanding of directional positions used in the text,we will refer to the front of the machine as being the thin side of the machine cabinetthat has a start and stop switch combination mounted on it. The rear of the machine isthe wider machine cover that houses the drive train for the cutter block and the autofeedmechanism. The infeed table is that table on the right hand side, facing the machinefrom the front. Further references to left and right may be used after qualifying theposition from which the machine is being viewed. Note: Infeed for Overhand &Thicknessing are from different ends of the machine.

    Main chassis This is the machine cabinet that all the components of the

    planer/thicknesser are mounted upon.

    Start/Stop There are two pairs of on /off switches and an emergency stop switchswitches mounted on the machine. They all control the main contactor, which fulfills the

    NVR function of the machine.

    Thicknessing This casting, which is machined flat and mounted precisely beneathtable the cutter block, parallel to the planer irons across the width of the bed,

    supports the timber as it is passed beneath the cutter block in thicknessingmode. It can be raise and lowered to allow for the various thicknesses oftimber to be processed.

    Thicknessing This Engineers Wheel is connected to the rise and fall mechanism of thetable rise and thickenessing table, turning clockwise will raise the table and anti-clockwisefall control will lower it. There is a lock lever to ensure the table does not move during

    machining. There is a limit bar, part of the machine assembly, which will limitthe amount of material that the thicknessing operation can remove during onepass.

    Thicknessing This scale is fixed to the right hand side of the machine cabinet alongside thescale thicknessing table. On the infeed side a pointer on the thicknessing table

    reads against the scale and will indicate the thickness that the machine iscutting.

    Table Extensions There is a table extension bolted to both the front and the rear of thethicknessing table to increase the accuracy of the machining operation, andsupport the stuff over a greater part of its length.

    Infeed table Machined Cast Iron table, pivoted on the left hand side (the front machinetrunnion), with its locking mechanism on the right.

    Infeed table The Infeed table can be adjusted up or down to increase or decrease theadjustor amount of material being removed during a pass. The adjustor is incorporated

    into the pivoting mechanism. Screwing the knob handle will drive the table upor down, the amount can be measured against the scale (see fig 7a). Thetravel of the table is limited between NO cut and the maximum amount thatcan be safely removed during one pass.The adjustor can be locked onto its shaft by the two nuts on the outer end ofthe shaft, ensure these are not locked if you require to adjust the table.

    Infeed table This rotary latch is fitted to the right hand side of the infeed table, andlock engages with a machined stud, set in the rear trunnion of the machine. During

    overhand planing operations, to ensure the inline accuracy of the tables,both tables must be locked down. Conversely, during adjustments the locksmust be OFF, to allow the tables to move freely, then relocked. The locks areobviously disengaged to allow the tables to be swung up and out of the wayduring thicknessing.

    Outfeed table Exactly as the infeed table, excepting that the pivoting mechanism and the

    locking mechanisms are on the same side of the machine as the infeed table.Normally the outfeed table is set to the height of the plane irons, and is notadjusted after this, unless the machine is to be used for stopped chamfers orthe like.

    Outfeed table Mirror of the infeed table lock.lock

    Table raising This is a metal bar fitted to the edge of the outfeed table that extends acrosslnterlock bar to the infeed table and ensures ordered sequence of the tables being raised

    or lowered. i.e., the outfeed table must be raised before the infeed table, andthe infeed table must be lowered before the outfeed table.

    Cutter block A 75mm diameter block fitted with three knives. The block is mounted insealed bearings housed in the machine trunnions.

    Anti-kick back A series of mechanical fingers mounted across the mouth of the infeed tofingers the thicknessing table which prevent the stuff being kicked back when it

    engages with the cutter block knives.

    Dust extraction A rigid 100mm diameter extraction hood that is permanently mounted to thehood machine. During overhand planing it is swung down into the void between the

    cutter block and the thicknessing table, where it acts as the underside guardand chip catcher; during thicknessing it is swung up and over the tablewhere it acts as the overhand guard and chip deflector/extractor.

    Overhand cutter A pivoting arm bolted to the side of the outfeed table, the arm has a slideguard mounting mounting to carry the cutter block guard, and can be adjusted for height overarm the cutter block to enable the stuff to be passed under it. It can be locked in

    position once it has been set.

    Cutter block A dished aluminium extrusion that guards the active side of the cutter blockguard (i.e. the part of the cutter block in front of the fence). It is carried in a slide

    mounting on the end of the arm and can be locked in place once it has beenpositioned.

    Fence mounting A steel bracket that is bolted to the top machined surface of the machinebracket trunnion. It has a housing machined into it to mate with the base plate of the

    Identification and description of the AW106PT

    Autofeed engage This handled lever protrudes through the cabinet to the left of the infeed sidecontrol of the thicknessing table. It is sprung loaded to keep it in position against a

    gate location. The two position gate selects either the feed engaged ordisengaged.

    Fence assembly This assembly consists of a base plate onto which a vertical T yoke ismounted. The ends of the yoke arms are bossed and have a threaded hole inthem. The rear of the fence has two slotted lugs that span the yoke bosses.Two clamp bolts and washers, secure the fence, through its slotted lugsinto the threaded holes in the bosses of the yoke. The reason for the slots is

    to allow the fence to be manoeuvred in tilt to allow any angle (up to 45degrees) to be set on the fence. A presetting bolt is threaded through themain body of the yoke, and impinges on the rear surface of the fence toenable the upright position to be set quickly and easily.

    Note. Electrical Interlocks The machine is electrically interlocked in the two modes.

    1.Overhand planing. The outfeed and infeed tables must be down. The dust extractionhood must be below the table, acting as a lower guard and chipcollector.

    2. Thicknessing. The outfeed and infeed table must be raised. The dust extractionhood must be over the table, acting as the upper guard and chipcollector.

    It is not possible to run the machine in a half and half configuration.The machine must be in one configuration or the other.
