SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of a Wood-Mizer Planer - Thicknesser!
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 planer/thicknesser for operation and
operating, servicing and repairing the machine.
GENERAL
Check your planer/thicknesser as soon as you receive it. Report any transport damage to the transport
company immediately.
Lift the planer/thicknesser using a forklift or pallet jack with lifting capacity of minimum 500kg.
When replacing spare parts, use only original parts and note that anything electrical must be assembled
by a qualified electrician.
APPLICATIONS
The planer/thicknesser can be used for planing/thicknessing and planing wood, chipboard, board, etc.
Hard materials such as chipboard, teak, MDF, etc. require hard carbide tools.
The planer/hicknesser is designed for indoor use, with temporary outdoor use during good weather.
REQUIREMENTS
Planer/thicknesser can be used in rooms with temperature range from -15oC to +40 C. Ventilation must
be mechanical and in accordance with standards.
The planer/thicknesser must be connected to a dust extractor. Dust extractor must be turned on when
the machine is working.
SAFETY DISTANCE
WARNING! Other than the operator, no one should be within 1,5
meters of the planer/thicknesser's sides or 4 meters from the infeed
and outfeed sides during operation. Mark a limit that prevents anyone
accidentally wandering into the risk area.
TIPS: An extended outfeed table is practical to use, and prevents anyone coming into the risk area.

1.1 Machine description
The Wood-Mizer planer/thicknesser is designed for straight and profiled planing of wooden elements
used for the production of wooden houses and other construction elements used in building industry and
garden programs. All other uses of the planer are forbidden.
The MP160 is a planer/thicknesser that can work two sides of a workpiece in one action. The
planer/thicknesser is contained in a stable and strong chassis. The planer/thicknesser 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 by 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
Table is made with a highest quality cast. The table surface is specially processed for the highest
precision and the best anti-friction qualities.
When the planer/thicknesser is new, it requires a breaking-in period until the table gets a slightly shinier
surface to optimize the anti-friction qualities. During this period it is recommended to use a lubricant or
wax on the table.
Using the machine correctly, you will obtain a perfectly smooth surface and a high degree of accuracy.
The planer/thicknesser should be operated only by an adult who has read and understood the entire
operator’s manual.
Planer/thicknesser is built to be durable and easy to operate and maintain.
MACHINE AND SITE PREPARATION
The machine is delivered on pallet. Due to the weight, it has to be transported with auxiliary carrier
equipment and in accordance with general safety rules.
Check your planer/thicknesser as soon as you receive it. Any transport damage must be reported to the
transport company immediately.
Most of the planer/thicknesser 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 flat base.
It is recommended to screw the planer/thicknesser down 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 at the in and
outfeed sides, and that there is enough space for maintenance and timber stocks.
Connect the dust hoses and fix using the hose clips on the planer and fan.
Hang the planer/thicknesser's electrical cable on the ceiling or protect it in another way. Never
step on the cable. The planer/thicknesser should be connected via an earth-fault protection
switch.
CAUTION! The illumination at the operator's position should be at least 300lx. The light source
can not cause stroboscopic effect. Ensure that there is no risk of glare.
SPACE REQUIREMENTS
The planer/thicknesser needs a space of at least 3 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/thicknesser must be anchored to the floor using screws dia. 8-10
mm.
LIST OF THE TOOLS REQUIRED TO WORK WITH THE PLANER/ THICKNESSER:
Allen wrench 4mm (supplied)
Allen wrench 5 mm
Allen wrench 6 mm
Flat wrench 10 mm (supplied)

CHIP EXTRACTOR
MP160 planer/thicknesser must be connected to chip extractor with a capacity of at least 2 000m3/h.
Remember that chip container has to be equipped with an air vent (e.g. a fine net or filter if dust are
collected indoors). Poor suction is often due to 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 will not
be supplied back into the building. The fire risk and dust emissions (discharge) must be considered
because of chip collection.
WARNING! Because of chip collection there is fire risk and dust
emission.
Contact the local authorities for advice in designing a chip collection system to conform with national
rules.
It is necessary to set the fan so that will be easy to reach the switch.
IMPORTANT! Remove the chips from the planer/thicknesser when the
work is finished.
CHIP EXTRACTOR TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS1
The chip extractor must be approved according to the CE-standard.
The airflow "without external connection" must be approx. 1500 m3/hour.
(The manufacturer's standard indication of airflow.)
The chip extractor hose diameters for the planer/thicknesser = 100 mm (4”) x 1 .
Pressure drop in the planer/thicknesser is 26 mm column of water at 25 m/s.
Dust extractor airflow should be 2000 m3/h, pressure drop should not exceed 1,5kPa.
IMPORTANT! The dust extractor hoses must be grounded or made
with materials not accumulating 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.
