5. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND APPLICATIONS
The AP98 edge lipping planer comes equipped with:
• Hard-metal reversible blades.
• Knob for adjusting cutting depth, enabling a flushing
height from 11 mm to 0.
• Side guides, for flushing work that takes the edge of
the piece as a reference.
• Dust collector connection.
• Upwardly-engaging safety button, which prevents the
machine from being started up accidentally.
The AP98 edge lipping planer is a tool that will prove
useful to carpenters, fitters and restorers. It has been
especially designed for the recessing and flushing of:
woods, varnished woods, stratified woods, softwoods
and synthetic materials.
For maximum performance, the selfsame weight of the
machine is the only pressure that should be applied; do
not force it, which will reduce its speed and output.
6. STARTING AND STOPPING THE MACHINE
This edge lipping planer is equipped with an upwardly-
engaging safety button that prevents the machine from
being started up accidentally.
To start up the machine, press down on the safety
button Z while simultaneously depressing the power
button A1 (Fig. 1).
Before plugging in the machine, ensure that the power
supply voltage is compatible with that stated on its
specifications plate, and that the blade-holder guard
is properly attached.
7. CUTTING ADJUSTMENTS
FLUSHING HEIGHT
Unscrew knob A (Fig. 1) in the counter-clockwise direction
until reaching the end of the thread. Spin the wheel B
to raise or lower the cutter-block, adjusting it to the
necessary flushing height.
After setting the flushing height, screw on the knob
A in the clockwise direction until it becomes firmly
tightened in place.
8. SIDE GUIDE
The side guide C (Fig. 1) enables flushing by following
the edge of the board. It can be set using knob D and
then tightened using the 6-mm Allen wrench E.
9. DUST COLLECTOR CONNECTION
The machine is equipped with a dust collector con-
nection F (Fig. 1) which can be used for connection
to our AS182K, AS282K and AS382L dust collector
or any industrial equivalent via the STANDARD DUST
COLLECTOR ATTACHMENT (ref. 6446073 of 3.5 m or
1746245 of 5 m).
The dust collector connection F (Fig. 1)
must never be set up on the machine if
no collector is used. This would prevent
the free ejection of chips.
10. REPLACING AND
CONTROLLING THE BLADES
Disconnect the equipment from the mains
before carrying out this operation.
1. REPLACING BLADES AND
BLADE HOLDERS
To replace blades or reverse them in order to use the
second cutting edge, follow the steps below:
Loosen the two fastening screws G (Fig. 2) in the clockwise
direction using the service key.
Turn the cutter-block casing to a suitable position so
that the blade H can be lined up with the groove I of the
guard, so as to have enough space to move and laterally
remove the blade from its housing in holder J.
Remove any dust and resin from the seats of the cutter-
block and supports before inserting new blades.
Replace the old blade with a new one, or with the same
blade reversed, using its second cutting edge.
Reinsert the blade in the recess of the blade holder J
(Fig. 3), ensuring that the blade H and its holder J do not
protrude out from the side of the cutter-block P.
Securely tighten the two screws G (Fig. 2) in the counter-
clockwise direction using the service key.
If it is necessary to replace the blade holders J of the
