Noise emission.
Notes concerning noise emission:
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and
exposure times, it is not precise enough to determine the need for
supplementary precautions. The factors affecting the true level of
exposure to operators are clearly the amount of time exposed, the
characteristics of the working environment, other sources of dust and
noise, etc. For example, adjacent machines, in other words, affect the
level of ambient noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary
from country to country.

Receiving your machine.
Note. It is probable that your machine will be delivered by a third
party. Before you unpack your new machine, you will need to first
inspect the packing, invoice and shipping documents supplied by the
driver.
Ensure that there is no visible damage to the packing or the machine.
You need to do this prior to the driver leaving. All damage must be
noted on the delivery documents and signed by you and the delivery
driver. You must then contact the seller (Laguna Tools) within 24
hours.
Packaged machine
Introduction to combination machines.
Note. This manual covers machines with various sliding table
lengths. Some of the shorter sliding tables do not come with
support legs or support extensions.
Some of the items that are covered by this manual may be
optional extras.
This combination machine is designed to give you years of safe
service. Read this owner’s manual in its entirety before assembly or
use.
The machine is a compact one-stop shop with the following functions:
table saw, jointer, planer, shaper and mortiser all built into one
machine.

11. Planer.
12. Jointer.
13. Body.
14. Shaper.
1. Sliding table.
The sliding table is manufactured from heavy-duty aluminum
extrusion and is attached to the cabinet. The table is adjustable to be
level and vertical.
The table is supported by ball bearings that roll on polished flat
plates. The advantage of the bearing system is that there is only one
point contact between the balls and the plates. This virtually
eliminates the problem of dirt building up, and the sliding table will
remain accurate for many years.
2. Support table.
The support table is a welded construction and is attached to the side
of the sliding table. It can be moved along the sliding table to suit the
job at hand. It is adjustable vertically and for parallelism to the sliding
table.
3. Table saw fence.
The table saw fence is adjustable along an extension rail, which is
attached to the side of the main table. The fence is designed to give
superior rigidity and is adjustable to be parallel to the blade.
4. Blade angle adjustment handle.
The blade angle adjustment handle is located at the front of the
cabinet and adjusts the blade angle from 90 to 45 degrees.
5. Blade guard.
The blade guard is attached to the riving knife and has a dust
extraction hose fitted.
6. Mobility kit.
The 3-wheel mobility kit attaches to the side of the machine.
7. Sliding table clamp.
The table clamp is attached to the sliding table “T” slot. It can be
adjusted along the length of the “T” slot to suit the job.

12
It is a heavy steel construction and is vertically adjustable. The clamp
action is over center cam.
8. Jointer/planer dust chute.
The jointer/planer dust port is part of the cutter guard and will take a
4-inch dust hose. You will need a dust collection system with a
minimum of 1,000 cubic feet per minute (the stronger the better).
9. Mortiser unit.
The mortiser is a heavy cast iron construction that is located on the
back of the machine.
10. Blade vertical adjustment handle.
The blade vertical adjustment handle is located at the side of the
machine. It is locked in position with a clamp screw.
11. Planer.
The planer is a heavy construction and has a cast iron table.
12. Jointer.
The jointer has long cast iron tables to ensure that the jobs are
produced flat and accurate.
13. Body.
The body of the machine is a welded construction from heavy-gauge
steel plate. The heavy construction gives the machine a stable base
that is less susceptible to vibration.
14. Shaper.
The four-speed (1800, 3000, 6000, 9000 rpm) shaper has a heavy,
fully adjustable fence/guard system that allows the full range of
cutters to be used safely.

Where to locate your machine.
Before you remove your machine from the pallet, select the area
where you will use your machine. There are no hard-and-fast-rules
for its location, but below are a few guidelines:
1. There should be an area surrounding the machine suitable for the
length of wood that you will be cutting.
2. Adequate lighting. The better the lighting, the more accurately and
safely you will be able to work.
3. Solid floor. You should select a solid, flat floor, preferably concrete
or something similar.
4. Locate close to power source and dust collection.
5. Allow an area for the storage of blanks and cut jobs.
Unpacking your machine.
1. Dismantle the box and lift the box off the pallet.
2. Using the knife, cut the
plastic wrap.
3. Remove all the parts that
have been packed with the
machine.
4. Remove the machine from
the pallet with a forklift.
Note. If you have any doubt
about the described procedure,
seek professional assistance.
Do not attempt any procedure
that you feel is unsafe or that
you do not have the physical
capability of achieving.
Cleaning the machine.
Remove the rust protection grease with WD 40 or a similar solvent.
It is important that you remove all the grease and re-lubricate with a
Teflon-based lubricant. Teflon has less tendency to attract sawdust
and cause clogging. You should also wax the table, as this also
protects the cast iron from rust and reduces friction.

Lower the mortiser onto the two clamping studs and loosely tighten
the nuts.
Screw the lower fixing bolt into the thread on the mortiser.

20
Tighten the two lock nuts.
Tighten the two upper clamp nuts.
Parallel steel rod
Parallel block
The mortiser table may need to be adjusted parallel to the mortiser
chuck.
Fit a parallel steel rod into the chuck and tighten.
Check that the table is parallel by sliding a parallel block under the
parallel rod at one end and adjusting the table vertically until the rod
just touches the block.
Move the block to the other end of the rod and check the clearance
between the block and the rod.
Adjust the table parallel to the steel rod by loosening the two locking
nuts and adjusting the screw (lower bolt).
Once the table is parallel, tighten the two lock nuts.
