The
knives
are
held in
the
cutterblock
by a
steel
.clamping
bar
secured
with 5 -

sockethead
screws.
When
the
locking
screws
are
released
the
cutters
are
ejec!edslightly
by
lI:
small
leaf
spring.
This
is
to
facilitate
easy
cutter
setting
with
,
the
specIal
gauge supplied. As
the
amount
of
cutter
projection
is
vital
to:
the
correct
operation
of
the
machine
it
is
most
important
that
the
actual
gauge supplied with
the
"
machine
should
be
used. Should any
other
method of
cutter
setting
be
employed
the
amount of
cutter
prbjection
must
be
exactly
the
same
as. with
that
given
by
the
setting
gauge supplied and failure
to
observe
this
instruction
will result:
ille
poor
finish.
To
remove
the
cutters
and
re-set
with
''Bursgreen''

for
grinding
or
replacing.
When grinding
Itts:
most
important
that knives
are

in
this
position, tighten
the
securing
screws.
Before
fully tightening
the
screws,
check
that

supplied
are
12t"
(311mm) long x
It"
(32mm)
wide.
x 1/8" (3mm) thick
in
balanced
sets.
·They
should
be
kept
in
balanced
sets,
by
ensuring;
that
t~~
cutters
have
· equal
dimensions
after
grinding
and
that
the,
cutter
edge
is
straight.
and'parallel
to.
the
'back
edge.
For
general
work, knife
angles
for
soft
and
hard
woods
are
recommended
as
in
Fig~
9 (a) and (b).
'.
When a
very
fine finish
is
required
in
dry
soft and
hard
woods a
slight
front
bevel
is
.given
as
in
Fig.
9 (c)'and (d);
For
wet
or
green
timber
the
cutting
bevel
maybe
decreased
.
five
degrees,
but
the

not
be
given. .

being
taken.
To
adjust
the
insert
loosen
the
wing nut
"D"
and move
the
insert
until
it
just

GENERAL HINTS FOR SURFACE PLANING
1.
To
obtain
the-best
surface.
finish
always
check
the.
direction
of
the
grain,
which
should
run
with
the
cutter
as
shown
in
Fig.
12.
2.
To
obtain
aperfectly
flat
surface
especially
with
warped
stock,
always
put
maximum
pressure
on
the
back
table
at
"A"
in
Fig. 13
and
as
little
as
possible
on:
the
front
table
at

finish
near
each
knot.
4.
When planing
four
sides
of
timber,
square
turn
the
timber
anti.-clockwise
after
each
cut,
so
that
there
