This user manual and instructions for accessories
must be considered as part of the machine and
always be stored with the machine. They must also
accompany the machine if the machine is sold.
The responsibility for ensuring that the machine is
operated correctly and safely lies with the person
who uses it.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The CH3 is a planer that in one step, processes a
workpiece on three sides.
The machine is enclosed in a stable and durable
chassis made of 4-mm steel plate. The planer table
is made of laser-cut sheet metal, the slide for the
movable cutter is made of machine steel.
The workpiece is fed, positioned horizontally on
the planer table, through the machine by 3 feed
rollers and an out-feed roller. The rollers are driven
via a chain transmission with a separate motor. The
workpiece is controlled laterally with adjustable
guides.
The machining is conducted with an top cutter that
is suspended at both ends, and two side cutters,
which are tted in the planer table.
The cutters and feed rollers are covered by a hinged
safety hatch with windows. The safety hatch is
equipped with a safety switch. The switch is also
connected to an in-feed guard on the in-feed side.
Each of the three cutters has a 100-mm coupling for
chip collection.

WARNING! The layout of the workplace is
important for safety. Please note the following:
Choose a location for the machine with a hard
and at surface. Set up the machine on a at
surface with at least 5 m of free space around
the machine without obstacles.
Operation of the planer requires proper work
lighting.
Keep the workplace free of debris, pets,
children, obstacles and anything else that may
distract the operator.
Always have a hand-held, ABC type (min. 3
kg) re extinguisher readily accessible at the
workplace.
Always have a complete rst aid kid accessible
at the workplace.
• If the wheel set is not used, secure the machine
with bolts through the chassis holes.
• Make sure that there is sufcient free space on
the in-feed and out-feed sides for the longest
boards to be planed and that there is space for
servicing and wood storage.
• Connect the chip hoses (3 pcs) and fasten them
with hose clamps on both the machine and the
chip extractor.
• Suspend the power cable to the planer from the
ceiling or protect it in another way. Never step
on the cable. The machine should be connected
via an earth leakage circuit breaker.
• Make sure that there is good lighting. There
must be good general lighting. Install a power-
ful light just above the machine. Make sure that
there is no risk of being blinded by the glare.
SETTING UP
SETTING UPCHIP COLLECTION
If the wheel set is mounted on the machine:
• Make sure the underlying surface is smooth
and at. Take measures to counteract level
differences or sloping oor surfaces to prevent
unpredictable machine movement due to
gravity.
• The machine must not be used at temperatures
below 0 ° C.
• The machine's warning markings are there
for your own and other's safety. Damaged or
illegible labels must be replaced.
Moving the machine:
• The machine can be transported with a forklift
or pallet mover. It must be placed and secured
on a EUR-pallet.
• A wheel set that is mounted under the machine
is available as an accessory from Logosol for
moving the machine on at and level surfaces.
The Logosol CH3 must be connected to a chip
extractor with a capacity of at least 2500 m3/h.
Remember that you must have an air outlet in your
chip container (e.g. a ne net or lter if you have
chip collection indoors). Poor suction is often due
to poor airow from the chip container. If you are
working in a heated room, keep in mind that the
collector will quickly cool the room if the air is not
returned.
Fire risks and chip emissions associated with chip
collection must be taken into consideration.
Fire risk and chip emissions associated with
chip collection.
Contact the local authorities for advice on the
applicable local regulations.
Connect the chip hoses and secure them with
hose clamps to both the planer and the chip
extractor. Use Flexi hose from Logosol for best
results.
If you want to transport the chips a longer
distance: Place the extractor near the planer, so
that the hoses are as short as possible. Collect
the chips through a sheet metal pipe that has
lower airow resistance.
Position the chip extractor so that its switch is
easily accessible.

ADJUSTMENT
For optimal precision of the planed workpiece, the
in-feed tables must be adjusted before use. Start by
adjusting the height of the table so that it matches
the lateral and vertical angles of the planer table.
This is adjusted with the in-feed table mounting
screws on the underside of the in-feed table.
Use a straight-edge placed on the planer table and
use this as a reference in adjusting the height of the
table.
Once the table has been adjusted in the attachment
side so that it matches the planer table, it is time to
adjust the angle of the table. Use a straight-edge
placed on the planer table, then adjust the angle of
the in-feed table with the adjusting screws so that
the angle matches the straight-edge.
In some cases, it may be advantageous for the outer
ends of the feed tables to be slightly higher than the
planer table to reduce in-feed and out-feed marks.
This is especially true when working with thin or soft
workpieces. However, the outer ends should never
be lower than the planer table. The in-feed table can
be adjusted in two positions with the handle at the
lower edge.

Before opening the safety hatch on the planer,
make sure that the power is off and that the cutters
are not rotating. Wear protective gloves, especially
when loosening tight-tting bolts/screws or when
tightening bolts/screws (see Warning precautions).
Pay special attention to the planer knives. It is very
easy to cut yourself even with a light touch.
The spindles are 30 mm in diameter, which is a
standard dimension. On delivery, the planer is
equipped with two universal cutters with planing
knives, which can easily be replaced with moulding
knives. For safety reasons, the cutters work with
counter-planing (the workpiece is fed against the
cutting movement of the planer). This entails that
the locking nut and the spindle on the movable side
cutter must be left-threaded.
After mounting the side cutters:
Check that no knives have been left in the
machine.
Check that all screws/bolts are securely
tightened.
Check that the cutters can revolve freely before
closing the safety hatch.
Keep in mind the warning precautions on pages
4–5.
SIDE CUTTERS
Tip: The side cutter nuts are loosened by turning
in the same direction that their cutters rotate.

Knife replacement
Loosen the locking screw (B) with a 4 mm Allen key
and remove the chip breaker (D). Now remove the
knife (E). Insert a new knife and securely tighten the
locking screws.
Make sure you turn the knives in the right
direction when mounting them in the cutter. The
edge must face the chip breaker.
Check that there is no risk of the chip plates
before the movable cutter being bent in
towards the cutter of the unplaned edge of the
workpiece. Pay special attention with workpieces
of varying widths.
Make sure that the cutter can rotate freely.
DISASSEMBLY
Loosen the nut on the spindle with a 30 mm span-
ner and an adjustable spanner. Unscrew the nut and
lift off the cutter and any spacer rings under the
cutter.
When mounting the side cutter, shims
must be placed on top of the cutter to
reach a height so that the nut can com-
press the joint. The protective plate must
be positioned above the shims; see the
gure.

Before opening the safety hatch on the planer,
make sure that the power is off and that the
cutters are not rotating. Wear protective gloves,
especially when loosening tight-tting bolts/
screws or when tightening bolts/screws (see
Safety precautions). Pay special attention to the
planer knives. It is very easy to cut yourself even
with a light touch.
The top cutter is tted in the chassis and
suspended at both ends. Two planer knives are
mounted in two of the top cutter's keyways
on delivery. Two additional planer knives, or
moulding knives, can be mounted in the two
empty keyways.

LOGOSOL CH3 PLANER
TOP CUTTER
After adjusting or replacing planer knives:
Check that no knives have been left in the machine.
Check that all screws/bolts are securely tightened.
Check that the cutters can revolve freely before
closing the safety hatch.
Adjust the knife knives so that they reach the
same level and have a one millimetre protrusion.
This is most easily done using Logosol's aluminium
adjustment block.
Slightly loosen the wedge locking screws, and slide
the adjustment block over the knife. Adjust the knife
up or down with the adjusting screws until the knife
touches the block when it is moved over the knife.
(The planer knives protrusion can also be adjusted
with Logosol's magnetic setting for the top cutter.
Securely tighten the planing knives' wedge
locking screws when the adjustment is complete.
Unscrew the adjustment screws at the bottom.
When the cutter's bearing housing has been
adjusted, or when planer knives degree of
removal has changed, the position of the rotating
scale must be calibrated. The indicator on the
height scale on the front of the machine may
also need to be adjusted.
Planer knife adjusting screws

18
Adjustment of top cutter removal
The top cutter's degree of removal is set with the
crank at the left corner of the planer. This crank
raises or lowers the planer table in the machine via
a chain transmission. Set the scale on the front of
the machine, which shows the desired thickness of
the workpiece. The scale can be calibrated based on
the top cutter by sliding the magnetic scale. There
is also a circular scale at the crank. This shows that
the height of the table changes 4 mm with one
turn. This scale can also be calibrated. Loosen the
Allen screw under the scale and turn it to the correct
position.
Always position the table upwards to reduce any
play in threaded rods. If the table is to be lowered,
lower half a turn too far and then raise to the
correct position.
The chain that raises and lowers the table must
not slacken but be sufciently tight that it does not
misalign. The mechanism is located under the planer
table on the out-feed side. The tension is set with
a nut in the chassis under the planer table on the
out-feed side.
Do not adjust the chain tension while raising and
lowering the table, as incorrect tension can cause
the chain to disengage.

GUIDE ADJUSTMENT,
IN-FEED SIDE
GUIDE ADJUSTMENT, INNER
Start by adjusting the angle of the guide on
the in-feed side, using a straight-edge placed
against the guide. Now position the guide
perpendicular to the opening of the movable
side cutter in the planer table. The adjusting
screw for the guide is located on the
underside of the planer table. Now adjust
the depth of the guide so that movement of
the straight edge when rotating the cutter
corresponds to approximately 3 mm. When
this position has been found, lock the guide
position with the screws.
Place the straight-edge against the guide on
the in-feed side. Now turn the xed cutters
so that nothing associated with the cutter
touches the straight edge. Now adjust the
inner guide after the straight-edge so that it
runs along the entire surface.
