1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
!WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and
any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also
recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual
Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1 The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances
and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power
supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5 Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to
ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6 Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8 DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9 DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a)Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b)Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c)Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d)After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly
connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the
restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live
(brown) and neutral (blue) wires only. To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10 Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
1.1.11 If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm2, but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm2 section cable.

5. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions before use.
We recommend you check the alignment of cutting bladesbefore use. See section 6.3.7.
5.1 PLANING (Fig.A)
5.1.1 The cutting depth is set by handle (A). Use the front table plate (B) in conjunction with the scale (C) for the cutting depth.
A cutting depth of between 0.5 and 1.5 mm (1/64”~1/16”) will produce the best results.
WARNING: The part of the blades not used, must to be covered by the blade guard.
Note! Attach a suitable dust extractor to the dust chute. This reduces the amount of airborne dust and health risks associated with
inhalation of particles.
5.1.2 Take up a working position so that you are always on one side of the machine away from the area directly in front of or behind cutterhead.
5.1.3 Lift STOP cover and push the start button.
NOTE! The STOP button is also the Emergency Stop button. Incase of an emergency hit the STOP button, it will lock into place to prevent the
start button being activated again. The stop button will require unclipping in order to gain access to the start button.
5.1.4 Place both hands on the workpiece. Do not hold the workpiece with your fingers anywhere near the blades.
NOTE! Only plane workpieces which rest firmly on the planer and can be safely guided.
5.1.5 Introduce the workpiece from the feed side. Gently guide the workpiece over the blades. Do not force the workpiece but allow the machine
to do the work.

WARNING! Ensure you read, understand and apply Section 1 safety instructions before use.
5.2 Thicknessing
5.2.1 Set the desired height by turning the handle (Fig.B) using the graduated scale as a reference.
5.2.2 One complete turn of the handle is equal to 3mm as indicated on the scale next to the feed port.
It is better to use a cutting depth of between 0.5 and 1.5 mm (1/64”~1/16”) for best results. Trying to
remove excessive amounts on a single pass will result in motor overload and dull the blades.
Note! When thicknessing it is recommended to keep the feed table clean and free of sap. Apply a small
amount of penetration spray and wipe over with a cloth.
!WARNING! Do not remove chips or dust from the table while the machine is running, always disconnect from
the mains supply before attempting any kind of maintenance. Do not attempt to thickness short pieces of wood.

!WARNING! Prior to doing any maintenance work, always disconnect from the mains. Any protective guards which have been removed must be
mounted again after the maintenance work.
6.1 MACHINE CARE
The SM1311 is designed with a low maintenance
requirement. The bearings are greased for life.
6.1.1 Grease threaded spindles for the height
adjustment of the thicknessing table.
6.1.2 The table surface should always be kept free of
resin.
6.1.3 In order to prevent the motor from overheating,
regularly check that no dust has accumulated on
the ventilation apertures of the motor.
After a prolonged period of operation, users are
recommended to have the machine checked by an
authorised service agent.
6.2 TOOL CARE
The cutter head, clamping devices, blade supports and
blades used on the machine must be kept free from resin
build up as a clean tool improves the cutting quality. This can
be done by soaking the blade supports and blades for 24
hours in paraffin, white spirit or commercially available resin
remover.
6.3 REPLACING BLADES
!WARNING! Disconnect from power before servicing!
6.3.1 Unplug the planer from power source.
6.3.2 Loosen and remove four blade lock screws
securing blade and blade clamp.
6.3.3 Lift blade and blade clamp from cutterhead.
6.3.4 Clean any sawdust and resin build up from cutterhead and blade clamp.
6.3.5 Place blade clamp against the replacement blade and replace in cutterhead.
6.3.6 Secure blade and blade clamp using four blade lock screws. Do not over-tighten.
NOTE! Check blade height and alignment.
6.3.7 To check blade alignment, set the table to the (0) position. Use a straight edge i.e metal ruler or set square and position it across the
two tables. The blade should almost make contact with the ruler, check at either end of the blade and in the middle to ensure the blade
is level. Loosen the blade lock screws and adjust height accordingly using the blade adjustment grub screws.
6.3.8 Repeat the procedure to replace the other blade.
6.3.9 Make sure all the blade lock screws are tight.
