4 General Instructions for 230v Machines (Continued) Parts Breakdown (Base Assembly) If a replacement mains plug is fitted at any time this must be of the appropriate size and fitted with the correct size of fuse. General Mount the machine on a flat level bench or surface. Secure the machine to the surface where applicable. Always use machines or power tools in an uncluttered area. To reduce the risk of accidents, avoid leaving materials or other items within the working area and allow clear access to all machine parts and controls. Clean machines by wiping with a damp soapy cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners that may damage plastic parts or painted/coated surfaces. Keep water and solvents away from all electrical components, leads and plugs. When storing or leaving tools for any length of time, spray bare metal surfaces with Axminster XMP protective spray to minimise surface corrosion. Always isolate machines and power tools from the power supply when not in use or when changing parts, cutters and blades or when making any adjustments. Before using any machine or power tool, ensure that all locking-nuts, chucks etc, are tightened and secure. Check that all loose keys, spanners and other tools have been removed. Always ensure that long hair is tied back or retained by a band, hat or safety helmet. Remove all loose jewellery to prevent it from catching in rotating parts of the machine. Always check that the correct machining or cutting speed has been selected. Do not operate machinery or power tools when tired or under the influence of alcohol, drugs or certain medicines. WHEN USING MACHINES ALWAYS WEAR SUITABLE EYE PROTECTION, EAR DEFENDERS AND DUST OR FUME INHALATION PROTECTION. WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN, UNLESS THEY ARE UNDER SUPERVISION. Specific Safety Instructions for Jointer Planers Keep the cutting blades sharp and free from resin and other residue Always use a push stick or push block to keep your fingers away from the cutting block.

5 Parts List (Stand Assembly) Spcific Safety Instructions for Jointer Planer (Continued) Maintain the correct relationship between the infeed table, outfeed table and cutterblock as described in the operating instructions. Always feed the work from infeed to outfeed table (i.e. from right to left), not the reverse. Always plan your work in advance, particularly with respect to the method of holding and feeding the work through the machine. Unusual jobs need particular care and forethought. Do not try to cut more than 3mm deep in one pass. The wider the material, the thinner the cut should be in order to minimise the load on the motor and the risk of kick back. Specifications Axminster No. CT150 Rating Trade Maximum Cutting Width 150mm Length of Table 1180mm Number of Knives 3 Block Speed 4000 rpm Maximum Depth of Cut 2mm Motor Power 1120 watts (1.5 HP) Weight 80kg! IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU WEAR EAR PROTCTION WHEN USING THIS MACHINE Assembly & Adjustment Unpacking and Cleaning Carefully unpack the machine, the stand and all loose items from the two boxes. Remove the protective coating from the machined surfaces of the planer using a soft cloth moistened with kerosene or Rocol Heavy Duty Cleaner (Axminster Order Code ROC34011). Unpainted surfaces, and in particular the table, can be protected by applying a lubricating wax such as Lubowax (Axminster Order Code LUBO500). Assembling Jointer to Stand Place the machine on top of the stand with the pulleys on the same side and secure with the three special bolts and lockwashers provided, screwing up from underneath (See Fig 1). There are alternative methods of supporting the base of the stand: 1. Using the adjustable feet provided. 2. By screwing or bolting the base to the floor using the two lugs at the bottom of the stand

The guard assembly is bolted to the side of the planer body with two 5/16 hexagon cap screws and washers. Fig 3 Assembly & Adjustment (Continued) Fig 3a Support arm Aluminium cutter guard Fig 3b 5/16 Hexagon cap screws Support arm clamp knob Fitting and Adjusting the Fence Remove the two nuts and the washer from the fence securing bolt (Fig 4 ), place the fence in position on the extension at the rear of table and replace the nuts and washer. Adjust the position of the nuts until an adequate amount of locking force (but not too much) is applied when the locking handle (See Fig 5) is pulled right up. When this adjustment has been completed the two nuts should be locked securely together, one against the other. There are two adjustable stops ( A ) in (Fig 5) to allow the fence to be set to exactly 90 deg. and 45 deg. to the table. These stops should be adjusted using an adjustable square between the fence and the table and then locked firmly in position. For angles other than 90 or 45 deg. the fence tilt can be set by eye using the scale and pointer ( B ) in (Fig 5) or, more accurately, with an adjustable square set to the required angle.

8 Assembly & Adjustment (Continued) Parts Breakdown (Cutter Block Assembly) Fitting the Rear Cutter Guard This is fixed into position on the fence support casting with two screws and washers, adjusting its position so that it just clears the bottom of the fence. Fig 6 Rear cutter guard Adjusting the Tables and Cutterblock Fit the two table adjustment handwheels to their respective spindles and secure by tightening up the grubscrews (See Fig 7 B). For the majority of jointing and planing operations the outfeed table (the left hand one when facing the machine) is set to be level with the knives at the highest point in their revolution. As shown in Fig 8, this is achieved by placing a straight edge on the outfeed table and adjusting the height of the outfeed table until the blades just touch the straight edge when the block is rotated by hand. This checking operation should be carried out at both ends of each of the three knives; if the height or the level of any of the knives needs adjusting this can be done by slackening off the blade clamp locking screws, repositioning the knife so that it touches the straight edge and then re-tightening the screws.

9 Parts List (Fence Assembly) Assembly & Adjustment (Continued) Adjusting the Table Gibs Gibs are the strips situated between the dovetailed guide surfaces of the infeed and outfeed tables and the body of the machine which ensure smooth running of the tables with a minimum of play. They are pre-set at the factory so should not need to be adjusted until the machine has been in use for some time. If adjustment becomes necessary this can be achieved by slackening off the gib adjusting screws (Fig 9), rotating the screws with the hex key provided to get the required amount of clearance and then re-tightening the locknuts. The screws should be held in the required position with the hex key while the locknut is tightened in order to maintain the setting. Do not be tempted to leave the setting too loose, it is better if the tables are a bit stiff as this will prevent chatter and produce a better finish on the timber. Gib adjusting screws Setting the Knives Fig 9 If the knives are removed for replacement or for resharpening they must be carefully re-set in order to achieve accurate results. Firstly, assemble the setting gauge by positioning the two gauge pieces onto the shaft and locating them with the circlips provided (See Fig 10). Next, insert one of the blades into its slot with about 1.5mm protruding from the block, slip the lock bar into position and tighten the securing screws lightly. With the setting gauge in position on the cutter block rotate the block backwards and adjust the blade until it just touches the gauge along its whole length then fully tighten the screws. Repeat this procedure for each of the three blades. Dust Extraction Fig 10 The planer will produce a large quantity of waste and it is strongly recommended that you arrange for some method of extraction, both in the interests of workshop cleanliness and the health and safety of the operator. Cutter block Fig 11 8mm spanner Blade Setting gauge There are two methods of collecting dust and chippings from the jointer/planer. You can either place a suitable receptacle underneath the chute on the right hand side of the cabinet to collect the larger sized waste or fit the extraction adaptor (Fig 11) and connect it to a suitable high airflow dust extractor such as the Axminster ADE1200. The latter method is recommended as it will remove small dust particles as well as the larger chippings, giving a cleaner and healthier environment to work in. Chute Extraction adaptor 16 09

12 Machine Illustration and Parts Description (Continued) Operating Instructions Fence holding handle Cutter block guard assembly Tilt locking handle The following instructions will give a basic introduction to the use of the jointer planer. It is recommended that scrap pieces of timber are used to check the settings and to get the feel of the machine and its operation before attempting any serious work.! DON T FORGET, ALWAYS ENSURE THAT THE CUTTERS ARE FULLY PROTECTED BY THE GUARD AND KEEP YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE CUTTERS. Basic Jointing/Planing Operation Fig 14 Set the guide fence square with the table and set the depth of cut to the minimum required to produce a straight edge. Don t forget, a number of smaller cuts will produce a better finish than one big one. At the start of the cut the left hand should hold the work against the table and the fence whilst the right hand should pushes the work towards the cutter block. Once the cut is under way the cut surface rests firmly on the outfeed table. The left hand should maintain both downward pressure on the outfeed table and horizontal pressure towards the fence. As the right hand reaches the cutterhead it should be transferred to the work on the outfeed table. Fence assembly clamping handle If the timber is warped, bent or very rough a series of light cuts should be taken until the work is straightened. Avoid forcing the wood down against the table during the straightening process; if excessive pressure is used the wood will spring back to its original shape making it difficult to achieve a flat result. Rear cutter guard When short and/or thin pieces of wood are being planed a pressure pad or a push stick should be used in order to keep the fingers away from the cutter block.
