2. General Health & Safety Guidance
Ensure that you carefully read and fully understand the
instructions in this manual before assembly, installation and use
of this product. Keep these instructions in a safe place for future
reference.
WARNING: for your own safety, do not attempt to operate this machine
until it is completely assembled and installed according to these
instructions.
WARNING: When using any machine, basic safety precautions should
always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and
personal injury.
Safe Operation
1. Use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
• The operation of any machine can result in foreign objects being thrown
into your eyes, which can result in severe eye damage. Protective eyewear
or other suitable eye protection or face shield should be used at all
times. Everyday spectacles only have impact resistant lenses. They are not
protective eyewear and do not give additional lateral protection.
• Use respiratory protective equipment (dust mask etc.) if the machining
operation creates dust. Exposure to high levels of dust created by
machining hardwoods, softwoods and man made composite boards can
result in serious health problems. Some imported hardwoods give off
highly irritating dust, which can cause a burning sensation. The use of
respiratory protective equipment should not be seen as an alternative to
controlling the risk of exposure at source by using adequate dust
extraction equipment.
• The use of ear plugs or ear defenders is recommended when the machine
is in use, particularly if the noise level exceeds 85 dB.
• Wear suitable protective gloves when handling cutting tools or blades.
Gloves should NOT be worn when using the machine as they can be
caught in moving parts of the machine.
• Non-slip safety footwear is recommended when using the machine and
handling large work pieces.
2. Dress appropriately
• Do not wear loose clothing, neckties or jewellery; they can be caught in
moving parts of the machine.
• Roll up long sleeves above the elbow.
• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
3. Safety warnings
• Find and read any warning labels on the machine
• It is important that any labels bearing health and safety warnings are
not removed, defaced or covered. Replacement labels can be obtained by
contacting our Customer Service Department.
4. Familiarise yourself with the machine
• If you are not thoroughly familiar with the operation of this machine,
obtain advice from your supervisor, instructor, or other qualified person or
contact your retailer for information on training courses. Do not use this
machine until adequate training has been undertaken.
5. Take care when moving or positioning the machine
• Some machines can be very heavy. Ensure the floor of the area
in which the machine is to be used is capable of supporting
the machine.
• The machine and its various components can be heavy.
Always adopt a safe lifting technique and seek assistance when lifting
heavy components. In some cases it may be necessary to use mechanical
handling equipment to position the machine within the work area.
• Some machines have optional wheel kits available to allow them to be
manoeuvred around the workshop as required. Care should be taken to
install these according to the instructions provided.
• Due to the nature of the design of some machines the centre of gravity
will be high making them unstable when moved. Extreme care should be
taken when moving any machine.
• If transportation of the machine is required then all precautions relating
to the installation and handling of the machine apply. In addition, ensure
that any vehicles or manual handling equipment used for transportation
are of adequate specification.
6. The machine should be level and stable at all times
• When using a leg stand or cabinet base that is designed to be fitted to
the machine, always ensure that it is securely fastened to the machine
using the fixings provided.
• If the machine is suitable to be used on a workbench, ensure that the
workbench is well constructed and capable of withstanding the weight
of the machine. The machine should always be securely fastened to the
workbench with appropriate fixings.
• Where possible, floor standing machines should always be secured to the
floor with fixings appropriate to the structure of the floor.
• The floor surface should be sound and level. All of the feet of the machine
should make contact with the floor surface. If they do not, either re-locate
the machine to a more suitable position or use packing shims between
the feet and the floor surface to ensure the machine is stable.
7. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
• Ensure that all adjusting wrenches and keys are removed before
switching the machine ‘ON’. There is a risk of severe personal injury or
damage to the machine from airborne objects.
8. Before switching the machine ‘ON’
• Clear the machine table of all objects (tools, scrap pieces etc.)
• Make sure there is no debris between the work piece and the
table / work support.
• Ensure that the work piece is not pressed against, or touching the saw
blade or cutting tool.
• Check all clamps, work holding devices and fences to ensure that they
are secure and cannot move during machining operations.
• Plan the way that you will hold and feed the work piece for the entire
machining operation.
9. Whilst machining
• Before starting work, watch the machine while it runs. If it makes
an unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively, switch the machine ‘OFF’
immediately and disconnect it from the power supply. Do not restart until
finding and correcting the source of the problem.
10. Keep the work area clear
• Working clearances can be thought of as the distances between
machines and obstacles that allow safe operation of every machine
without limitation. Consider existing and anticipated machine needs, size
of material to be processed through each machine and space for auxiliary
stands and/or work tables. Also consider the relative position of each
machine to one another for efficient material handling. Be sure to allow
yourself sufficient room to safely operate your machines in any
foreseeable operation.
• Cluttered work areas and benches create the risk of accidents. Keep
benches clear and tidy away tools that are not in use.
• Ensure that the floor area is kept clean and clear of any dust and debris
that may create trip or slip hazards.
11. Consider the work area environment
• Do not expose the machine to rain or damp conditions.
• Keep the work area well lit and ensure that there is artificial lighting
available when there is insufficient natural light to effectively light the
work area. Lighting should be bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain.
• Do not use the machine in explosive environments eg. in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases or dust.
• The presence of high levels of dust created by machining wood can
present a risk of fire or explosion. Always use dust extraction equipment
to minimise the risk.
12. Keep other persons away (and pets)
• The machine is designed to be used by one person only.
• Do not let persons, especially children, touch the machine or extension
cable (if used) and keep visitors away from the work area.
• Never leave the machine running unattended. Turn the power supply off
and do not leave the machine unattended until it comes to a
PT107 Manual 3.2.indd 4PT107 Manual 3.2.indd 4 25/04/2022 14:41:1425/04/2022 14:41:14

complete stop.
• If the work area is to be left unattended, all machinery should be
switched ‘OFF’ and isolated from the mains power supply.
13. Store machines safely when not in use
• When not in use, machines should be stored in a dry place, out of reach
of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions or
with the machine to operate it.
14. Do not overreach
• Choose a working position that allows your body to remain balanced and
feed the work piece in to the machine without overreaching.
• Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15. Electrical supply
• Electrical circuits should be dedicated to each machine or large enough to
handle combined motor amp loads. Power outlets should be located near
each machine so that power or extension cables are not obstructing high-
traffic areas. Observe local electrical guidelines for proper installation of
new lighting, power outlets, or circuits.
• The machine must be connected to an earthed power supply.
• The power supply must be equipped with a circuit breaker that provides
short circuit, overload and earth leakage protection.
• The voltage of the machine must correspond to the voltage of the mains
power supply.
• The mains plug fitted to the machine should always match the power
outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way. If a replacement plug is
required it should be fitted by a competent person and of the correct type
and rating for the machine.
• If you are unsure about any electrical connections always consult a
qualified electrician.
16. Avoid unintentional starting of the machine
• Most machines are fitted with a no-volt release (NVR) switch to prevent
unintentional starting. If in doubt always ensure the machine switch
is in the ‘OFF’ position before connecting it to the power supply. This
means the machine will not automatically start up after a power cut or
switching on of the power supply, unless you first reset the start switch.
17. Outdoor use
• Your machine should not be used outdoors.
18. Extension cables
• Whenever possible, the use of extension cables is not recommended.
If the use of an extension cable is unavoidable, then it should have a
minimum core cross section of 2.5 mm² and limited to a maximum length
of 3 metres.
• Extension cables should be routed away from the direct working area to
prevent a trip hazard.
19. Guard against electric shock
• Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes
and radiators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is
earthed or grounded.
20. Always work within the machine’s intended capacities
• Operator safety and machine performance are seriously adversely
affected if attempts to make the machine perform beyond its limits are
made.
21. Do not abuse the power cable
• Never pull the power cable to disconnect it from the power socket.
Always use the plug.
• Keep the power cable away from heat, oil and sharp edges.
• Do not use the power cable for carrying or moving the machine.
22. Secure the work piece
• Ensure that the work piece is securely held before starting to machine it.
• When working within 300 mm of the machining area, always use a push
stick to feed the work piece in to the blade or cutting tool. The push stick
should have a minimum length of 400 mm. If the push stick becomes
damaged, replace it immediately.
• Use extra supports (roller support stands etc.) for any work pieces large
enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as
additional support for a work piece that is longer or wider than the basic
table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• Do not attempt to machine more than one work piece at a time.
• When feeding the work piece towards the blade or cutting tool never
position your hands in direct line of the cutting path. Avoid awkward
operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could cause your
hand or fingers to move into the machining area.
23. Stay alert
• Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all
times when the machine is being used.
• Use all machines with extreme care and do not use the machine when
you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
24. Use the correct tool for the job
• Do not use the machine for any purpose other than which it
was designed.
• When selecting replacement cutting tools and blades, always ensure that
they are designed to cut the material that you intend to use them for. If
in any doubt seek further advice from the manufacturer.
25. Connect dust extraction equipment
• Always use dust extraction equipment. The dust extractor should be of
suitable size and capacity for the machine that it is connected to and
have a filtration level appropriate to the type of waste being collected.
Refer to the relevant section of the manual for details of the specific dust
extraction requirements for this machine.
• The dust extractor should be switched ‘ON’ before starting the machine
that it is connected to. The dust extractor should be left running for 30
seconds after the last machining operation is complete in order to clear
any residual waste from the machine.
26. Ensure that the machine is correctly guarded
• Never use the machine if any of the standard safety guards and
equipment are removed or damaged.
• Some machines incorporate safety interlocks to prevent the machine
from being used without the guards in place. Never attempt to bypass or
modify the interlocks to allow the machine to be used without the guards
in place.
27. Maintain your machine with care
• This manual gives clear instructions on installation, set up and
operation of the machine and also details any routine and preventative
maintenance that should be performed periodically by the user.
• Remember always to switch off and unplug the machine from the power
supply before carrying out any setting up or maintenance operations.
• Follow any instructions for the maintenance of accessories
and consumables.
• Do not use compressed air to clean the machine. Always use a brush to
dislodge dust in places that are awkward to reach and a dust extractor to
collect the waste.
• Inspect electric cables periodically and, if damaged, have them replaced
by an authorised service facility or qualified electrician.
• Inspect extension cables (if used) periodically and replace if damaged.
28. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean
• Correctly maintained cutting tools are easier to control and less likely
to bind.
• Cutting tools and blades can become hot during use. Take extreme care
when handling them and always allow them to cool before changing,
adjusting or sharpening them.
29. Disconnect the machine from the power supply
• When not in use, before servicing, changing blades etc. always disconnect
the machine from the power supply.
30. Check for damaged parts
• Before each use of the machine, it should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function.
• Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage

WARNING: FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
OPERATE YOUR PLANER THICKNESSER UNTIL IT IS COMPLETELY
ASSEMBLED AND INSTALLED ACCORDING TO
THESE INSTRUCTIONS
Safe Operation
1. The planer thicknesser should be level and stable at all times
• If using an optional wheel kit to position the machine within your
workshop, never attempt to move the machine with the surface tables in
the raised position as this will raise the centre of gravity and make the
machine unstable.
2. Familiarise yourself with the machine
• Machining operations using planer thicknessers have a history of serious
accidents. Most accidents resulted from contact with the cutter block
when surface planing due to the guard being incorrectly adjusted or
missing from the machine.
• The machine is designed for planing hard and soft woods. It is not
designed for planing any other material.
• Do not attempt to perform rebating, moulding, cutting tenons and
recessing. The machine is designed to prevent these operations from
being performed. Do not modify the machine in order to attempt any of
these operations.
3. Before switching the machine ‘ON’:
• Set and secure safety guards in position before operating the machine.
Adjust the guards to suit the size of work piece. Full details of the correct
setting of the guards is included within the manual.
• Before starting work, watch the planer while it runs. If it makes an
unfamiliar noise or vibrates excessively, switch the machine ‘OFF’
immediately and disconnect it from the power supply. Do not restart until
finding and correcting the problem.
• Regularly check that the blades and lock bars are locked tight in the
cutter block.
• Regularly check the anti-kickback fingers of the thicknesser for proper
operation.
• Make sure there are no nails, screws or foreign objects in the part of the
work piece to be planed.
• Make sure there is no debris between the work piece and the table or
fence.
• Check that the fence, guards and work holding devices are secure and
that the fixings for them are fully tightened.
• Clear the planing tables of all objects (tools, scrap pieces etc.).
• Plan the way you will hold and feed the work piece from start to finish.
4. Whilst planing:
• Never remove any of the safety guards. Keep guards operational at all
times.
• Use extra caution with large, very small or irregularly shaped
work pieces.
• Use extra supports (roller support stands etc) for any work pieces large
enough to tip when not held down to the table top.
• Do not use another person as a substitute for a table extension, or as
additional support for a work piece that is longer than the basic planer
table, or to help feed, support, or pull the work piece.
• When planing irregularly shaped work pieces, or chamfering with the
fence at 45º, plan your work support so it will not slip and be pulled
from your hands.
• When planing short work pieces an additional push block should be
used. Never attempt to plane a work piece that is too small to hold
by hand.
• Avoid awkward operations and hand positions where a sudden slip could
cause fingers or hands to move into the cutter block.
• Never make planing cuts deeper than 3mm / 1/8”.
• Plane only one work piece at a time.
• Keep your face and body to one side, out of line with a possible
kick back.
• If the work piece binds when thicknessing the machine may stall. If
this happens, switch the machine ‘OFF’ immediately and follow the
instructions detailed in the manual for safely removing the work piece.
Do not attempt to free the work piece whilst the machine is running.
5. Maintenance:
• Regularly check that all safety guards are present and in full
working order.
• Regularly check that the bridge guard moves freely, both horizontally
and vertically.
• Keep the guards clean and free from waste material and deposits
of resin.
• Regularly clean the planer table and thicknesser bed and apply a suitable
lubricant (silicone wax or spray to help the work piece slide easily.
• The planer knives should be sharpened regularly to reduce the risk of
snatching and kick back.
• Do not exceed maximum allowable blade projection over cutter block of
1.0mm/ 0.040 inch +10%.

unpacking or moving the machine. You will need assistance and possibly
powered equipment to move it. Serious personal injury may occur if safe
moving methods are not adhered to.
Warning: Never lift the machine by the planer tables when
unloading as shown in Fig. 8.1. Belt and chains may only be
attached to the stand.
Ensure that lifting gear used has an adequate capacity and the load is
secured against lateral slipping.
Unloading can be performed using a forklift, pallet jack or crane.
Use of the PT107/W Jockey Style Wheel Kit is recommended for transport of
the machine, Fig. 8.2.
Warning: Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them.
Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling
them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Cleaning
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from
corrosion during transport. Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner, de-greaser or white spirit. For optimum performance of the machine,
make sure to clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are
coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact with them.
After cleaning it is recommended that Record Power CWA195 Silicone Spray
or wax be applied to the tables to give smooth movement of timber.
Warning: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents
to clean with. They have low flash points which make them
extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if
these products are used.
Warning: Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion
or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.

having a deeper surface on its right hand side, see Fig. 8.12. The left hand
side of the fence is raised to give clearance to the outfeed table. The purpose
of the stop is to eliminate the risk of the fence being positioned so the lower
part of it comes into contact with the cutter block.

Access to the underneath of the machine is required to fit the nuts to the
bolts which hold the wheel kit components to the machine. To do this safely,
mount the machine securely on blocks of wood which are tall enough to
allow access, Fig. 9.2.
DO NOT attempt to gain access to the underneath of the
machine by tipping it as this introduces the risk of it becoming
unstable and falling over.
The wheel assemblies are supplied with hex head nuts and bolts
pre-assembled. To attach them to the machine, remove the nuts and pass the
bolts through the assemblies and the pre-drilled holes in the machine body
and secure with the nuts, as shown in Fig. 9.3. Ensure the assemblies are
installed with the wheels pointing upwards as in Fig. 9.3.
Using the remaining two nuts and bolts, attach the lifting bracket to the
front of the machine as shown in Fig. 9.3.

When the wheel kit is not in use, the wheels fitted to the main body of the
machine can be raised by unscrewing the adjusting screw, Fig. 9.4, so that
they are clear of the floor. The wheels must be lowered again before using
the wheel kit.
When fully assembled, the wheel kit should be as shown in Fig. 9.5.
Never attempt to move the machine with the wheel kit whilst the planer
tables are in the raised position. The centre of gravity will be high, making
the machine unstable. Always ensure that the tables are in the closed
position before attempting to move the machine.
