KEY TO SYMBOLS
For your own safety, read the entire instruc-
tion manual carefully and do not start the
planer/moulder before you have understood
everything.
Use approved ear protection and protective
goggles. Hearing can be damaged after only
a short exposure
Sharp rotating tools. Be careful not to let
your ngers get near the cutter.
This symbol means "WARNING!". Be extra
vigilant when this symbol appears in the
manual text.
This symbol is followed by a prompt. Be
extra vigilant when this symbol appears in
the manual text.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Make sure that all warning and information
stickers are in place, and that they are clean and
legible. Any damaged stickers must be replaced
immediately.
• Persons who do not have the necessary know-
ledge or experience of planers must not use
this planer/moulder. This instructions do not
constitute training in machine planing. Contact
Logosol for information regarding training in
machine planing.
• Ensure that non-authorized persons do not use
this moulder.
• All protection must be assembled before the
molder is used.
• Always use protective goggles and ear protec-
tion.
• Never use the molder if you are under the inu-
ence of strong medication, alcohol or any other
strong drugs.
• Always check that knobs, screws, nuts, fences,
sleeves, planing cutters, planing knives, etc. are
properly tightened. Also check that the cutter
can rotate freely and that there are no tools in
or on the planer/moulder before it is started.
• Never use the planer/moulder in poor visual
conditions such as bad lighting.
• Never place tools or hands into the in or outfeed
areas when the planer/moulder is running.
• Never intervene in the planer/moulder before
you have ensured that the power is switched
off and the planer/moulder cannot be started
accidentally.
PLANING/MOULDING
• Always measure the workpiece and set suitable
thickness and width before planing.
• There is a high risk of accident if you feed in a
workpiece that is not high enough for the feed
rollers to get hold of the workpiece.
• Small dimensions must be planed using xtures,
e.g. a piece of wood with a customized groove
that extends along the full length of the table.
• Never stand along the the workpiece's extension
line as kickback can occur, and bits of the work-
piece can be thrown out of the planer/moulder.
This applies to both the in and outfeed sides,
although the risk is greater on the infeed side.

LOGOSOL PH360
GENERAL
• Check the molder/planer as soon as you receive
it. Report any transport damage to the transport
company immediately.
• LIFT THE PLANER/MOULDER using a fork-lift or
pallet jack.
• When replacing spare parts, use only original
parts and note that anything electrical must be
assembled by a qualied electrician.
APPLICATIONS
The planer/moulder can be used for planing/molding
and planing wood, chipboard, board, etc.
Hard materials such as chipboard, teak, MDF, etc.
require hard carbide tools, see the Logosol-Toolbox
catalogue.
The planer/moulder is designed for indoor use, with
temporary outdoor use.
ENVIRONMENTAL REQUIREMENTS
The temperature in the premises should be above
freezing, unless special measures are taken.
Ventilation in the premises must be mechanical, and
of a good standard.
The planer/moulder must be connected to a chip
extractor, which is approved according to CE-stan-
dards, see page 10.
SAFETY DISTANCE
Other than the operator, no-one should
be within 3 meters (10 foot) of the planer/
moulder's sides or 8 meters (26 foot) from
the in and outfeed sides during operation.
Mark a limit that prevents anyone acciden-
tally wandering into the risk area.
TIPS: An extended infeed table is practical to use,
and prevents anyone coming into the risk area.

been left in the planer/moulder!
MACHINE DESCRIPTION
The PH360 is a planer/moulder that can work four
sides of a workpiece in one action. The planer/moul-
der is contained in a stable and strong chassis. The
planer/moulder table and slide for the moving cutter
are made of planed cast iron.
The workpiece is fed, lying on the planer table,
through the planer by four feed rollers as well as
an outfeed roller. The rollers are driven by a chain
transmission with separate motor. The workpiece is
controlled laterally with adjustable fences and pres-
sure rollers.
The work is done using a top cutter and a bottom
cutter, that are hung at both ends, as well as two
side cutters which are xed to the planer table. All
the cutters are driven by separate motors, via a belt
transmission.
The cutters and feed rollers are covered by a folda-
ble protective cover plate with window. The cover
plate is supplied with a safety switch. Another safety
switch sits behind the top edge of the cover plate on
the infeed side. A 100 mm (4”) hose is connected
to the bottom and side cutters and a 125 mm (5”)
hose is connected to the top cutter with the option
of an additional 100 mm (4”) for connection to the
chip extractor.
TABLE SURFACE
The table is cast in the highest quality. The table sur-
face is specially processed for the highest precision
and the best anti-friction qualities. When the planer/
moulder is new, it requires a driving-in period until
the table gets a slightly shinier surface to optimize
the anti-friction qualities. During this period, we
recommend that you use a lubricant or wax on the
table.

SETUP
Check your PH360 as soon as you receive it. Any
transport damage must be reported to the transport
company immediately.
Most of the planer/moulder is protected against rust,
but it will require extra maintenance in the form of
lubrication for all the parts not protected against
rust. See the Maintenance section.
• Place the planer on a stable and at base. Prefe-
rably screw the planer down using the holes in
the base, if the castor set is not used.
• Ensure that there is enough space for the
longest boards you want to plane at the in and
outfeed sides, and that there is enough space
for maintenance and timber stocks.
• Connect the chip hoses and x using the hose
clips on the planer and fan.
• Hang the planer's electrical cable on the ceiling
or protect it in another way. Never step on the
cable. The planer/moulder should be connected
via an earth-fault protection switch.
• Ensure that lighting is good. There should also
be good general lighting. Also set up a strong
lamp directly over the planer. Ensure that there
is no risk of glare.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The planer/moulder needs a space of at least 2 m
(6 1/2 ft) wide. The length required depends on the
length of the workpieces you want to plane. The
minimum length is 4 m (13 ft).
ANCHORING
For the highest safety, the planer/moulder must be
anchored to the oor using screws. Screw diameter
8-10 mm (3/10"- 4/10").
CHIP MANAGEMENT
The PH360 must be connected to a chip fan with a
capacity of at least 3,000 m3/h (10,000 cubic feet/
hr) . Logosol has a range of pipes, sleeves and hoses.
Ask our advice.
Remember that you need an air vent in your chip
container (e.g. a ne net or lter if you carry out
chip collection indoors). Poor suction is often due to
poor airow from the chip container. If you work in
heated premises, remember that the fan will quickly
cool the space if you do not lead the ltered air back
into the building. Consideration must be taken for
re risk and dust emissions (discharge) in connection
with chip collection.
Fire risk and dust emission in connection with
chip management.
Contact the local authorities for advice in de-
signing a chip collection system to conform
with rules in your area.
Position the chip fan so that you can easily
reach the switch.
Chips that are left in the planer/moulder must
be vacuumed up after every work session.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS CHIP
EXTRACTOR
• The chip extractor must be approved according
to the CE-standard.
• The airow "without external connection" must
be approx. 4000-5000 m3/hour (13,000-16,500
cubic feet/hour).
• (The manufacturer's standard indication of
airow.)
• The sleeve diameters for the planer = 100 mm
(4”) x 4 and 125 mm (5") x 1.
• The pressure loss in the planer is 26 mm of
water column at 25 m/s (1 inch of water column
at 82 ft/s) .

LOGOSOL PH360
IN AND OUTFEED TABLE
STARTING THE PLANER
Note that the outfeed table can easily be folded up
so you can move around the planer.
The tables must mainly be completely in line with
one another (when the cut in the bottom cutter is 0
mm (0") but in certain cases it can be an advantage
for the ends of the feed table to lie slightly higher
(1-5 mm) than the planer table to reduce in and
outfeed marks (snipe). This particularly applies when
thin or soft workpieces are being processed. The
outer edges must then always lie slightly higher than
the planer table.
It is extremely important that the infeed table, planer
table and outfeed table are correctly setup so that
there are no cutter marks on the ends of the object.
Risk of serious damage.
Check that no tools have been left in the
planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4-5?
Before starting:
• Ensure that all cutters can rotate freely.
• Ensure that the emergency stop (a11) is pulled
out.
• Ensure that the top door is closed, and impacts
the door switch (179).
• Check that no-one other than the operator is
inside the safety distance.
Connect the planer electrically. Watch the
rotational direction. If you are standing by the
feeder gears, the rotational direction of the
top cutter must be counter-clockwise.

10
CONTROL PANEL
CONTROL PANEL
The top red button (a11) is the emergency stop and
switches off the power to all functions. When the
emergency stop is used, it must be pulled out again
in order for the planer/moulder to be re-started.
Under the emergency stop is a light (a10) which
indicates that the power supply is connected. When
replacing knives and during servicing, for example,
the power switch (a9) must be in the off position.
Check that the light (a10) is not lit.
The bottom black row of buttons (a8) start the
planer's motors. The top red row of buttons (a7)
stops the planer's motors (a7). Above each button
there is a light (a6) which indicates that the relevant
motor is running.
The button's function is from the right:
1. Starting the planer cutter (lower horizontal cutter)
2. Starting the side cutter, right
3. Starting the side cutter, left
4. Starting the planer cutter (upper horizontal cutter)
5. Starting the feed
6. To control extra motors, or a fth cutter

11
LOGOSOL PH360
BOTTOM CUTTER
Before you open the safety doors on the
planer, ensure that the power is switched
off and that the cutters are not rotating. Use
protective gloves, particularly when you need
to loosen screws that are tightly fastened, or
when you are tightening screws (see warning
instructions). Beware of the planer knives. It is
extremely easy to cut yourself on these, even
with the slightest touch.
The bottom cutter is xed to the planer table on the
planer's infeed side. Two planer knives are moun-
ted in two of the bottom cutter's tooling slots on
delivery (planer knife 410 mm (16") HSS, item no.
7000-002-8410). Another two planer knives, or
molding knives can be mounted in the two empty
tooling slots.
SETTING THE BOTTOM CUTTER'S CUT
The cut of the bottom cutter is set using a lever
(211). Locking is done using a lever (224).
The normal cut on the bottom cutter is 2 mm
(8/100").
DISASSEMBLING THE PLANER KNIFE
The planing knife is disassembled by loosening the
chip breaker's (A) lock screws (B) and then unscre-
wing the planing knife with adjuster screws (C).
GRINDING THE PLANING KNIFE
Always grind the knives in pairs, so they are the
same height, min. 15 mm (.600"), otherwise vibra-
tions could occur in the cutter. The grinding angle
must be 38 degrees. You can order a grinder from
Logosol for sharpening molding and planing knives
(Tormek Grinder, item no. 7010-000-1000, Jig for
planing knives, item no. 7010-000-1005).
ADJUSTING THE BOTTOM CUTTER'S
PLANING KNIFE
The bottom cutter's planing knife must be set so
that it is on the same level as and in line with the
planer table.
• Loosen the chip breaker's lock screws (B) that
are found in the groove between the chip brea-
ker (A) and the cutter using a 10 mm (4/10")
key (supplied). After this the knife can be raised
or lowered using the two adjustable screws
(4 mm socket head) (C) that are recessed by
the cutter's keyway. Use a 4 mm socket head
screw (supplied). The knife must stick out 1 mm
(.040") from the cutter body to align with the
molding knife from Logosol.
• Check the level of the knife by placing a bit of
planed edging on the planer table behind the
cutter. The cutter's knife should then touch the
edging (see image below). Another method is to

12
use a magnetic knife setter (magnetic adjuster,
lower cutter, item no. 7500-001-0051): Loosen
the chip breaker's lock screws and tighten the
knife's adjustable screws several turns. Rotate
the cutter so that the planing knife is in its up-
permost position. Place the magnetic adjuster
straight and in a V-shape on the planer table be-
hind the cutter so that the knife edge is directly
under the magnetic adjuster's magnets. Set up
the adjustable screws until you feel that the
knife is lifted by the magnet, so that it reaches
the correct level. Tighten the lock screws and
then carefully screw the adjustable screws so
that they x the knife in this position.
• Tighten the screws locking the knife in position
counter-clockwise (i.e. out of the keyway). Start
by tightening carefully. Move from the sides and
in towards the middle, retightening them later.
• Carefully screw the adjustable screws in the
bottom of the knife's recess. If you tighten these
too hard, the knife will crack.
After adjusting or replacing planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the
planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4-5?

13
LOGOSOL PH360
TOP CUTTER
Before you open the safety doors on the
planer, ensure that the power is switched
off and that the cutters are not rotating. Use
protective gloves, particularly when you need
to loosen screws that are tightly fastened, or
when you are tightening screws (see safety
instructions). Beware of the planer knives. It is
extremely easy to cut yourself on these, even
with the slightest touch.
SETTING THE CUT OF THE TOP CUTTER
The planer thickness is set using the planing table
crank (189). The set thickness can be read on the
indicator (109) on the machine stand. The indicator
can be calibrated. Plane some wood and adjust the
top cutter until you get the correct height. Release
the green cover (168). The ring above the indicator
has a stop screw. Turn the ring so that it shows the
planing height that has been planed.
The top cutter is xed to the chassis and hung at
both ends. Two planing knives are mounted in two of
the bottom cutter's tooling slots on delivery (planer
knife 510 mm (20") HSS, item no. 7000-002-8510).
Another two planing knives, or molding knives can be
mounted in the two empty tooling slots.
Always set the top cutter uppermost to reduce any
slack in the threads. If the top cutter needs to be
lowered, lower it half a rotation too low and then
raise it into the correct position. Once you have the
top cutter set at the correct height, you can lock it
in position with the handle to the right of the feed
motor assembly.
DISASSEMBLING, ASSEMBLING AND
GRINDING PLANING KNIVES
See above, under the Bottom cutter section. Exceptions:
The minimum height of the planing knifes are different.
Make sure you´re using the right Setting Block.
After adjusting or replacing planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in
the planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4-5?
ADJUSTING PLANING KNIVES
Adjust the planing knives so that they are the same
level and protrude 1 mm (.040"). This is done using
an aluminum adjustment block (item no. 7500-000-
1020), found in the component packaging on the
planer table when the planer/moulder is delivered.
Loosen the chip breaker's lock screws slightly, and
place the adjustment block over the knife. Adjust
the knife up or down until the knife brushes against
the block when it passes above the knife. (The pla-
ning knife protrusion can also be adjusted using a
magnetic adjuster for the top cutter, item no. 7500-
001-0050. See the instructions enclosed with the
magnetic adjuster.)
Tighten the lock screws that lock the knife,
counter-clockwise. Start by tightening care-
fully. Move from the sides in move towards the
middle, retightening them later.

14
When the top cutter's bearing housing is
adjusted, or when the planing knife's cut is
changed, the counter's pre-set must be height
calibrated.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TRAPEZOIDAL
THREADED BAR'S CHAIN TRANSMISSION
The chain, which raises and lowers the table, must
not be slack, but needs to be tensioned enough that
teeth bite correctly. The tension is set using a nut
that is located in the chassis under the planer table
on the outfeed side.
Do not touch the chain tension as long as the
raising and lowering of the table works, as an
incorrect tension could mean that the chain
disengages.

MOLDING KNIFE IN BOTTOM AND TOP CUTTERS
Before you open the safety doors on the
planer, ensure that the power is switched
off and that the cutters are not rotating. Use
protective gloves, particularly when you need
to loosen screws that are tightly fastened, or
when you are tightening screws (see safety
instructions). Beware of the planer knives. It is
extremely easy to cut yourself on these, even
with the slightest touch.
Molding knives can be assembled in both the top
and bottom cutters. Molding knives must always be
mounted in pairs – opposite each other. A certain
sideways offset of the knife, can however be accep-
ted, as long as the cutter remains balanced.
WARNING! Unbalance in the cutter creates
vibrations that can damage the planer and
cause personal injury.
Molding knives must always be mounted in
pairs, so that the cutter remains balanced.
After assembling the planing knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the
planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4-5?
ASSEMBLY
The top and bottom cutter heads have four too-
ling slots each. As mentioned above, the planer is
delivered with two planing knives assembled in two
of the tooling slots. In the other two tooling slots,
molding knives of different sizes and proles can be
assembled.
On the front edge of the planer/moulder, there
is a limiting cover that limits the top cutter's
maximum cut when turned. This must be used
when molding knives are mounted in the top
cutter (196).
• To insert knives into the top or bottom cutter
heads, a gib/moulding knife clamp must be
used to hold the knife in the head. Warning:
Do not use any other device to hold moulding
knives in these heads!
• Assemble the Gib (D) and molding knife (E) as
shown. Note: The holes in the bottom of the
knife should t securely on the pins on the gib.
• Lower the gib and molding knife to the side of
the cutter where the tooling slots are extended.
• Insert the knife and gib into the groove. Mea-
sure the position using the groove in the cutter,
and x by tightening the screw (F) tightly on the
back of the gib. (Turning the screw in the Gib as
if to loosen it will tighten the Gib into the head.)
The lock screw must not be placed over the
area where the tooling slots are extended.
• Measure the position of the knife laterally and
assemble an identical knife in exactly the same
position on the cutter's opposite side.

SIDE CUTTERS
Before you open the safety doors on the
planer, ensure that the power is switched
off and that the cutters are not rotating. Use
protective gloves, particularly when you need
to loosen screws that are tightly fastened, or
when you are tightening screws (see warning
instructions).
The side cutters are xed to the planer table. The
spindles are 30 mm (1 2/10") in diameter, which is
a standard measurement. Upon delivery, the planer
is equipped with two universal cutters with planing
knives, which you can easily replace with molding
knives. For reasons of safety, the cutters work with
conventional milling (the workpiece is fed towards
the molder's cutting motion). This means that the
lock nut and spindle on the moving side cutter must
be left-hand threaded.
The moveable side cutter's lock nut is left-
hand threaded.
After assembling the molding knives:
Check that no tools have been left in the planer.
Check that all screws have been sufciently
tightened.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before
the safety doors are closed.
Do you remember the warning instructions on
pages 4–5?
DISASSEMBLING
Cutter 2 (Right, xed cutters): Loosen the nut on
the spindle with a 30 mm wrench (supplied) and
a 1/2” or 13 mm wrench or adjustable wrench.
Unscrew the nut and remove the cutter (A) and any
spacing rings under the cutter.
Cutter 3 (left, moveable cutters): Crank the cut-
ters to their previous position. The nut is loosened
in the same way as for cutter 2, with the difference
that the nut for cutter 3 is left-hand threaded and is
therefore screwed in the opposite direction.
TIP: The side cutter nuts are loosened by turning them
in the same direction as their respective cutter rotates.
REPLACING KNIVES
Loosen the lock screw (B) with a 4 mm Allen wrench
(C) (supplied) and remove the chip breaker (D). Then
remove the knife (E) from the peg (F). Insert a new
wrench and tighten the locking screw tightly.

LOGOSOL PH360
Ensure that you turn the knives in the right
direction (see page 16) when you assemble
them in the cutter. The cutting edge must be
turned towards the chip breaker. Also check
that the cutter is facing the right direction on
the spindle. All of the planer/moulder's cutters
turn the same way as with conventional milling.
Check that the non-corrosive spring plate in
front of the moveable cutter is not at risk of be-
ing bent towards the cutter by the workpiece's
unplaned edge. Pay particular attention when
cutting workpieces of different widths.
Ensure that the cutter can rotate freely and that
the plate working as a chip barrier behind the
moveable cutter is at a distance of approx. 5 mm
from the cutter's largest cutting diameter.
HEIGHT SETTING
The side cutter's height is set by adding or remo-
ving the spacers that are supplied in the component
package on delivery.
Spacer height:
Spacers 40 mm item no. 7502-001-0038
Spacers 20 mm item no. 7502-001-0042
Spacers 10 mm item no. 7502-001-0044
Spacers 5 mm item no. 7502-001-0046
Schim set (0.1 – 2.0 mm) item no. 7502-001-0230
To remove the planing knife from the side cutters,
loosen the knife's lock screws that are recessed into
the cutters. Use a 4 mm Allen Wrench (supplied).
The height settings for tongue and grooves:
When tongues and grooves need to be moulded, it is
important that these are made opposite one another,
i.e. at the same height above the planing table.
• Remove the cutter from the spindle (see above
under the Disassembling heading).
• Decide how you want the board to look. E.g. 8
mm above the groove, 6 mm groove and 7 mm
under the groove (see image to the left).
• Assemble the molding knife and screw the
socket head screws that hold the knife properly.
• Place the cutter on the spindle completely wit-
hout spacers. Measure the distance from the top
edge of the knife down to the planer table.
If the cutter is 40 mm and the groove (6 mm in this
example) is in the middle of the knife, the height
of the knife above the groove is 17 mm. When the
cutter is pre-set, the height of the knife above the
table must be 30 mm (7 + 6 + 17 = 30 mm). If, for
example, the height of the knife above the table is
measured to 15.2 mm, the cutter must be raised
14.8 mm (0.58") (15.2 + 14.8 = 30 mm).
Take the following measures:
• Remove the cutter.
• Combine spacers to the calculated thickness
(14.8 mm (0.58") in this example) and thread
them onto the spindle.
• Place the cutter on the spindle, screw on the
lock nut and tighten properly. Check that the
cutter can rotate freely.
• Carry out the points above on the cutter with
the tongue knife, so that it is placed at the same
height above the table.
• Test-plane a small board, and check that the
tongue and groove are at the right height in
relation to one another.
Alternatively, the knife can be set arbitrarily, after
which a test bit is run. Measure the test bit and cor-
rect the knife height.
Spacers must also be placed above the cutter
so that it is xed on the spindle. Add some of
the distance rings that are not used for height
setting, so that the thickest ring lies highest and
protrudes several millimeters above the lowest
threads on the threaded bar. Then screw the
nuts on the threaded bar and tighten properly.
GRINDING
To recover the sharpness of the knife, you can grind
the at side of the knife. Thus retaining the same
prole for the pair of knives. Always grind the knives
in pairs, so that they have the same weight, other-
wise vibrations could occur in the cutter. You can
order a grinder from Logosol for sharpening planing
and molding knives (Tormek Grinder, item no. 7010-
000-1000, Jig for planing knives, item no. 7010-
000-1012).
If the prole of the knife is damaged, this should be
re-ground by a professional knife sharpener. This is
a service that is normally available locally, otherwise
contact Logosol.

ADJUSTING THE FENCE BY CUTTER 2
In general
The front side fence has a double set of holes for
assembly. It can therefore be assembled in two
basic positions. When the TB90 system is used, the
fence will be tted in the pair of holes on the right,
as seen from the infeed side (see assembly of side
fence, page 7). When cutters with larger diameters
are used, the fence can be moved to the left pair of
holes, so that the stroke length is sufcient.
The xed cutter has two fences, the front (62) and
the back fence (54). The front fence controls how
much the cutter cuts, and the back fence works as a
support for the workpiece when it has passed cutter
2 and is ready to be worked by cutter 3.
Both fences must be in line with one another, but
offset in parallel so that the front fence is slightly
more to the right (see g.). In this way, the back
fence will support the workpiece once it has been
cut by cutter 2 (the workpiece is slightly smaller then).
The fence is xed by socket head screws in the fence
holders (55) according to g. The screws that lock the
fence in the horizontal direction are 13 mm (5/10")
hexagonal screws and sit in the fence's U prole. In
addition, there are micro adjustments on the fence.
When the hexagonal screws are loosened slightly,
the knob for micro-adjustments can be turned. If the
angle of the fence needs to be adjusted, both the
hexagonal and socket head screws must be loosened.
INSTALLATION OF SIDE FENCES
Method 1:
• Insert the rst fence inwards, for minimal cut-
ting. Add a straight aluminum fence rail tight
against the fence. Adjust the fence using the le-
ver until the loose fence rail touches the cutter’s
plane diameter (the outer rotating line) as it lies
against the rst fence.
• The plane diameter that is inline with the back
fence is where you need to measure to, the
cutter’s plane diameter that is higher than 30
mm above the table height is unimportant here.
• Align the back fence along the guard rail, which
is still tight against the rst fence and tighten it.
The cut is now 0 mm. The rst fence, cutter and
back fence are fully inline, and the rst fence
controls the angle through the machine.
• Remove the fence rail and all loose tools from
the machine.
• Move the rst fence back to the required cut
and lock it using the tie-back knob. (Around 2
mm is usually a suitable cut for the rst cutter.)
Method 2:
• The back fence is pulled in so that it is not used,
and is xed there. (Check that the cutter can
rotate freely.)
• Position the front fence so that the required cut
depth is obtained and the fence stands straight.
Tighten the screws that x the fence.
• Close the safety doors and take the measures
required to start the planer/moulder (see page 4).
• Start the bottom cutter, both side cutters and
the feeder and feed in a test piece of approx. 1
meter (3 ft). Stop the planer/moulder just as the
board reaches the moveable cutter (cutter 3).
• Drive the back fence towards the planed part of
the board.
• Check that the test piece is lying against both

ADJUSTING THE MOVEABLE CUTTER
(CUTTER 3)
Loosen the lock handle (91) that is located on the
slide under the table and/or the slotted screw that
is located above the slide (38). Then insert the crank
(260) onto the threaded rod on the side of the pla-
ner and move the side cutter head to the required
planing width. One rotation of the crank is 4 mm.
Measure the distance between the cutter knives and
the back fence with sliding caliper. This measure-
ment becomes the width of the nished board. Fix
this position with the lock handle under the table.
INDICATOR
The indicator shows the width measurement in mm
in black, and 1/10 mm in red. Each time, when set-
ting to a new prole: plane a board, measure the
outer measurements with the sliding caliper. Turn
the small handle to the right of the indicator so this
measurement is shown in the window.
INSTALLING A PRESSURE ROLLER FOR MO-
VEABLE CUTTERS
Two pressure rollers are located in front of the
moveable cutter, to press the workpiece towards
the fence. By adjusting this you can also decide how
wide the workpieces fed into the planer/moulder
can be. These pressure rollers sit on an arm (77) that
is anchored in the moveable cutter's slide, which
means that they move with the cutter when this is
adjusted.
To set the pressure rollers, loosen the socket head
screws that x the arm in the moveable cutter's
slide with a 6 mm Allen wrench. Adjust the arm so
that the press rollers are pressed in by approx. 5 mm
when the workpiece is fed into the planer.
A spring plate (supplied on delivery) can be mounted
in front of the moveable cutter between the press
rollers' arm and screw plate. The spring plate has
oval holes that allow adjustment in and out from
the workpiece. The spring plate works partly as a
tension control, but also as a fence in front of the
cutter which reduces the risk of long splinters being
knocked out of the workpiece during large cuts.
Adjust the feather plate so that it is pushed in to a
couple of millimeters from the unplaned edge of the
workpiece.
Check that there is no risk of the spring plate
pushing into the cutter's knife if you are pla-
ning an object of variable width. Maintain a
safety margin of at least one centimeter in the
pressed in position.
After the moveable cutter, there is another pressure
roller (76) which pushes the cut workpiece towards
the back fence. Set the pressure roller so that it
protrudes approx. 1-3 mm from the cutter's smallest
plane diameter, at the same height as the pressure
roller.
The height of the pressure roller can also be set with
washers above or below it. Which may be required
for producing certain proles.
TEST RUN
Always run a test piece and make subsequent ad-
justments. Run a piece straight through the planer
at the slowest feed speed. Look through the cover
while it is being planed and check that the board is
lying against the fences in front of and behind cutter
2.
Then measure the prole, its height and width, and
subsequently adjust the cutters and the setting for
the molding knives if required.
fences and tighten the back fence's lock screws.
Check that all screws that x the fences are
properly tightened, and that the cutter can
rotate freely.
TIP: If there is a problem in that the board does not
follow the fences, it could be that the back fence
is not at the right level in relation to the cutter,
that the fences are not completely parallel to one
another, or that the fence does not run straight
through the planer/moulder. If it is difcult to get
the fence to lie perfectly straight through the planer/
moulder, it is better that the fences are slightly
angled to the left, towards cutter 3, as the feed rol-
lers will then press the workpiece against the fence.
If the fences lie at a slight angle to the right, away
from cutter 3, the feed rollers will pull the object
away from the fence, which will lead to incorrect
measurements and a badly planed surface.

VARIABLE FEED MOTOR INSTRUCTION
WARNING! Do not turn the adjustment knob when
the planer/moulder is not running.
ASSEMBLY (IF THE VARIABLE FEED MOTOR
IS ASSEMBLED IN PLACE).
Assemble the feed motor package on the last feed
roller. Make sure that the torque stay is in place.
Lock this with the central screw on the roller.
SETTING THE FEED SPEED
Turn the wheel clockwise to increase the speed.
INDICATOR DIAL FOR THE FEED SPEED
The indicator dial is/must be mounted in the hub
of the wheel. It works like an indicator that has a
weight in one part, so the indicator moves. The
black indicator shows a gure.
The indicator dial has a relative scale. See the num-
bers as an indicator. The higher the number, the
greater the speed.
Start the planer/moulder and turn the wheel so the
planer reaches minimum speed.
Remove the indicator dial and turn it so the indicator
is set to zero. Then press the indicator dial in with
the indicator pointing upwards towards zero.
Use the indicator dial so that you can return to the
best speed for the prole you are planing.
If you have a 3-15 m/min (10-49 ft/min) gear:
0 on the indicator dial is 3 m/min (10 ft/min)
8 on the indicator dial is 15 m/min (49 ft/min)
If you have a 6-30 m/min (19 1/2-98 ft/min)
gear:
0 on the indicator dial is 6 m/min (19 1/2 ft/min)
8 on the indicator dial is 30 m/min (98 ft/min)
MAINTENANCE
Fluid should be visible in the uid level glass. The
level is checked when the planetary gear is not
running.
Top up if no uid is visible in the glass. Use oil for
automatic gearboxes according to the table below,
or use compatible oil.
The variator is lled with AGIP BLASIA 32 at the
