SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Wood-Mizer Multi-Planer!
Wood-Mizer is committed to providing you with the latest technology, best quality, and strongest
customer service available on the market today. We continually evaluate our customers’ needs to ensure
we are meeting current wood-processing demands. Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
This documentation includes information on preparing the Multi-Planer for operation, servicing and
repairing the machine.
GENERAL
Check your Multi-Planer as soon as you receive it. Report any transport damage to the transport
company immediately.
Lift the Multi-Planer using a forklift or a pallet jack with lifting capacity of at least 500kg.
When replacing the spare parts, use only original parts and note that all electrical components must be
assembled by a qualified electrician.
APPLICATIONS
The Multi-Planer can be used for planing/moulding/thicknessing wood, chipboards, boards, etc..
Hard materials such as chipboards, teak, MDF, etc. require hard carbide tools.
It is not allowed to plan plastics, aluminium or other hard materials.
The Multi-Planer is designed for indoor use, with temporary outdoor use during good weather.
REQUIREMENTS
The Multi-Planer can be used in rooms with a temperature ranging from -15oC to +40 C. The ventilation
must be mechanical and in accordance with standards.
The Multi-Planer must be connected to a dust extractor. The dust extractor must be turned on when the
machine is working.
SAFETY DISTANCE
WARNING! No one, except the operator, should be within 3 meters of
The Multi-Planer's sides or 8 meters from the infeed and outfeed sides
during operation. Mark a limit to prevent anyone from accidentally
entering the risk area.

TIPS: An extended infeed table is practical to use, and prevents anyone from coming into the risk
area.
STORAGE
The machine must be placed in a dry area, as it is not fully protected against corrosion. If the machine
is placed in a cold area for an extended period of time, its unprotected components, such as tables or
cutters, must be lubricated with a large amount of e.g. paraffin. It is also a good idea to cover the device
for additional protection against corrosion. If the machine is supposed to be placed outdoors, its
unprotected components must be covered and lubricated with anti-corrosive agents.
1.1 Machine Description
The Wood-Mizer Multi-Planer is designed for straight and profiled planing of wooden elements used
for production of wooden houses and other construction elements used in the building industry and
garden programs. Other applications of the planer are forbidden.
The MP180 is a planer/moulder/thicknesser that can process two sides of a workpiece in a single pass.
The machine is contained in a stable and strong chassis. The Multi-Planer table is made of planed cast
iron.
The workpiece is fed, lying on the planer table, through the planer by 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 pressure rollers.
The work is done using a top cutter and side cutter which are fixed to the planer table. All the cutters are
driven by separate motors, via a belt transmission.
The cutters and feed rollers are covered with a protective cover plate. The cover plate is supplied with a
safety switch. A 100 mm (4”) dia. hose is connected to the cutter.
TABLE SURFACE
The table is made of the highest quality cast. The table surface is specially processed for the highest
precision and the best anti-friction qualities.
When the Multi-Planer is new, it requires a breaking-in period until the table gets a slightly shinier surface
to optimize the anti-friction qualities. It is recommended that lubricant or wax be applied to the table
during this period.
Using the machine correctly, you will obtain a perfectly smooth surface and a high degree of accuracy.
The Multi-Planer should be operated only by an adult who has read and understood the entire operator’s
manual.
The Multi-Planer is built to be durable and easy to operate and maintain.

MACHINE AND SITE PREPARATION
The machine is delivered on a pallet. Due to the weight, it has to be transported with auxiliary carrier
equipment and in accordance with the general safety rules.
Check your Multi-Planer as soon as you receive it. Any transport damage must be reported to the
transport company immediately.
Most of the machine is protected against rust, but it will require extra maintenance in the form of
lubrication for all the parts that are not protected against rust. See the Maintenance section.
Place the planer on a stable and flat base.
It is recommended that the Multi-Planer be bolted to the ground, if it does not have to be
moved.
Ensure that there is enough space for the longest boards you want to plane on the infeed and
outfeed sides, and that there is enough space for maintenance and timber stocks.
Connect the dust hoses and fix them using the hose clips on the planer and fan.
Hang the electrical cable of the machine to the ceiling or protect it in another way. Never step
on the cable. The Multi-Planer should be connected via an earth-fault protection switch.
CAUTION! The illuminance at the operator's position should be at least 300lx. The light source
cannot cause the stroboscopic effect. Ensure that there is no risk of glare.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The Multi-Planer needs a space of at least 4 m (13’) wide.
The required length depends on the length of workpieces you want to plane. The minimum length is 4 m
(13’) from the front and from the end of the machine.

ANCHORING
For the highest safety, the Multi-Planer must be anchored to the floor with 8-10 mm diameter anchor
bolts.
TOOLS REQUIRED TO USE THE MULTI-PLANER:
Allen wrench 4 mm (supplied)
Allen wrench 5 mm
Allen wrench 6 mm
Flat wrench 10 mm (supplied)
Wrench 10 mm
Box wrench 13 mm
Flat wrench 30 mm (supplied, for cutter)
Adjustable wrench 8” or 10” (cutter)
Slide caliper
Measuring tape or ruler
Paraffin oil for grindstone
SPACER RINGS THAT ARE SUPPLIED:
3 x 40 mm height (per cutter)
2 x 20 mm height (per cutter)
2 x 10 mm height (per cutter)
1 x 5 mm height (per cutter)
1 x 2 mm height (per cutter)

1 x 0.1 mm height (per cutter)
These spacer rings are necessary to set the required height.
CHIP EXTRACTOR
The MP180 Multi-Planer must be connected to a chip extractor with a total capacity of at least
2 000m3/h. Remember that the chip container has to be equipped with an air vent (e.g. a fine net or filter
if dust is collected indoors). Poor suction is often caused by poor airflow from the chip container. During
work in heated rooms, it is necessary to remember that the fan will quickly cool the space if the filtered
air is not supplied back into the building. The fire risk and dust emissions (discharge) must be considered
because of chip collection.
WARNING! There is a risk of fire and dust emission because of chip
collection.
Contact the local authorities for advice about designing the chip collection system to conform to the
national rules.
It is necessary to set the fan so that it is easy to reach the switch.
IMPORTANT! Remove the chips from the Multi-Planer when the work
is finished.
TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CHIP EXTRACTOR1
The chip extractor must be approved according to the CE standard.
The chip extractor hose diameters for the Multi-Planer = 100 mm (4”) x 2.
The pressure drop in the Multi-Planer is 20 mm column of water at 25 m/s.
The dust extractor airflow (“without external connection”) should be 2000 m3/h.
IMPORTANT! The dust extractor hoses must be grounded or made of
materials that do not accumulate an electrostatic charge.
CAUTION! Always turn on the chip extractor before starting the
machine.
1. EN 12779:2016-04 standard contains requirements for chip and dust extraction systems equipment with
fixed installations.
