HEALTH ADVICE
WARNING! When drilling, sanding, sawing or grinding, dust particles will be
produced. In some instances, depending on the materials you are working with,
this dust can be particularly harmful to you (e.g. lead from old gloss paint).
You are advised to consider the risks associated with the materials you are working
with and to reduce the risk of exposure. You should:
- Work in a well-ventilated area.
- Work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter microscopic particles.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR YOUR TOOLS
- Always wear eye protection when operating any machine.
- Before starting up, check to make sure all holding screws are tight.
- Always stop motor and disconnect from power source before making any adjustments.
- Be sure all guards are in place before operating equipment.
- Read operator’s manual thoroughly and familiarize yourself with machine before
attempting to operate.
- Do not force work through the machine. Allow the planer to apply the proper feed
rate.
- Check feed rollers occasionally to be sure chips and sawdust are not lodged between
any components. If rollers are not seated firmly, the feed rolls will not hold stock firmly
against the bed, allowing kickback.
- Only plane wood boards.
- Use sound timber, with no loose knots and as few tight knots as possible.
- Never stand directly in line with either the infeed or outfeed sides. Always stand off
to one side of the machine.
- Make sure the workpiece is free of from nails, screws stones and other foreign objects
which could damage the blades.
- Make sure the blades are attached correctly as described in the instructions.
- Use caution when handling the blades and cutterhead assembly. The blades are sharp
and can easily cut your hand.
- Allow the cutterhead to reach full speed before using.
- Never use machine without correctly mounted and adjusted protective covers.
- Never use blunt planing irons as this increases risk of kickback.
- The parts of the cutting steel not in use should be covered.
- When planing shorter pieces a pusher should be used.
- When planing narrow pieces further precautions need to be taken to insure safe work,
such as appliances for pushing the work piece from above and spring loaded
protection.

OPERATION INSTRUCTION
BEFORE YOUR START
This thicknesser finishes rough-cut lumber to size
and planes soft and hardwoods up to 153 mm thick
and 315 mm wide.
Any piece of wood will have a natural tendency to
bow and warp, even if it was initially milled perfectly
straight. This planer features a powerful 1500W
motor with overload protection and high carbon
steel knives to handle such tough cutting jobs.
Intended for use by the Do-It-Yourself enthusiast,
for wood working projects at home and in the
workshop.
THIS TOOL IS INTENDED FOR
- Surface planing (smoothing a rough lumber)
-Thickness planing (reducing the thickness of a
board)
SWITCH ON/OFF (Fig. 6)

PLANING SPECIFICATIONS
- Do not plane lumber or wood that is contaminated
with metal, paint, dirt, water, or moisture from
tree sap, or wood that is severely bowed, warped
or twisted.
CAUTION! Plane selected lumber or wood
that has a minimum number of tight knots.
Wood with too many knots or loose knots has a
tendency to cause premature wear on the cutter
head knife, and increases the risk of unsafe
operation.
- Practise on a piece of scrap material first in order
to become familiar with the type of wood you are
planing. Take into consideration the hardness,
grain pattern, dryness and straightness of the
lumber or wood.
WORKPIECE LIMITATIONS
PLANING TIPS
-The thicknesser automatically feeds the workpiece
into and out of the cutter head. Do not force the
thicknesser to work faster than the designated
cutting speed. Damage to the workpiece and
thicknesser can result.
-The thicknesser works best if at least one side of
the workpiece is flat. If both sides are rough, the

ERBAUER 315MM THICKNESSER ERB709BTE
Fig. 7
thicknesser should be used to create one flat side
first. Plane the opposite side after one side is flat
and smooth.
- Planing should be carried out in steps in order to
achieve the final planing thickness. If the thickness
is to be reduced by 6 mm, then 3 mm should be
removed from each side. This also allows the
planed workpiece to dry and cure uniformly.
- Measure the thickest part of the workpiece that is
being planed. Make light cuts on both sides.
- Do not attempt to make a deep cut or a cut that
is deeper than 2.5 mm. Make several passes until
the desired thickness is achieved. Light cuts create
a finer finish.
- Avoid snipe or depressions made by the cutter
head knives at the beginning or end of the
workpiece by supporting both ends evenly. Keep
the board level during the entire planing operation.
-The knives on the thicknesser will not wear evenly
if the wood is fed through the same spot on the
table every time. Feed the wood through the
thicknesser at different spots on the table when
possible to help eliminate uneven wear of the
knives.
FEEDING THE WORKPIECE (Fig. 7)
- Always feed the workpiece with the grain, if
possible. If the workpiece must be fed against the
grain, make very light cuts.
- Hold the workpiece down firmly along the
workpiece guides and allow the thicknesser to
automatically feed the workpiece into the cutter
head.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT (Fig. 8)
Proper workpiece support prevents sagging or snipe
in the workpiece during planing. Make sure the
workpiece is supported along its entire length. If
necessary, extend the length of the in-feed/out-feed
extension tables (2, 12) in order to support the
workpiece:
- Loosen the in-feed/out-feed roller knobs (10).
- Pull the support infeed roller (1)/support outfeed
roller (13) out to the desired length.

-Tighten the roller knobs (10) to secure the in-feed/
out-feed table extensions.
IMPORTANT! If an additional support is
needed for the workpiece, place supports on
both ends of the thicknesser, or install the thicknesser
at a depth where the planing surface is level with
the workbench. The supports must be at the same
height as the in-feed/out-feed extension tables
(2, 12), or the depth of installation must be such
that the workbench is at the same height as the
thicknesser.
SETTING THE PLANING DEPTH (Fig. 9)
Measure the workpiece at its thickest point. Use the
depth scale (4) at the in-feed side of the planer to
approximate the starting point of the first pass.The
first attempt at planing is intended to brush the
surface.
It is good practice to measure the workpiece after
every planing operation.
- Set the On/Off switch to the On position.
- Slowly guide the workpiece (36) along the
workpiece guides into the planer. After the cutter
head contacts the workpiece, pull the workpiece
out and raise the cutter head using the cutter
head adjustment handle (6).
- Repeat step 2 in 3 mm of a turn or less in order
to lower the cutter head until it just brushes the
surface of the workpiece. This establishes the
starting point for the next cutting pass.
- Use the adjustment scale to fine-tune the depth
of planing. One revolution of the cutter head
adjustment handle (6) moves the cutter head up
or down 1.6 mm.
IMPORTANT! Planing should be done in
steps in order to achieve the final planing
thickness. If the thickness is to be reduced by
6 mm, then 3 mm should be removed from each
side. Measure the workpiece after every planing
operation.
