General Instruction for 240V Machines...
Good Working Practices/Safety
The following suggestions will enable you to observe good working practices, keep yourself
and fellow workers safe and maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Mains Powered Tools
Primary Precautions
These machines are supplied with a moulded 13 Amp. plug and 3 core power cable. Before
using the machine inspect the cable and the plug to make sure that neither are damaged. If any
damage is visible have the tool inspected/repaired by a suitably qualified person. If it is
necessary to replace the plug, it is preferable to use an ‘unbreakable’ type that will resist
damage on site. Only use a 13 amp plug, and make sure the cable clamp is tightened securely.
Fuse at 13 amp. If extension leads are to be used, carry out the same safety checks on them,
and ensure that they are correctly rated to safely supply the current that is required for your
machine.
Work Place/Environment
Make sure when the machine is placed that it sits firmly on a stand/bench, that it does not rock,
that is sufficiently clear of adjacent obstacles so that machining operations will not be
impeded. Check you have adequate clearance both in front of, and behind the machine when
machining long timber. If you are liable to be processing unwieldy or awkward work pieces, it is
suggested that you consider fastening the machine down to the stand/bench, and perhaps the
purchase of outfeed roller stands.
The machine is not designed for sub-aqua operation, do not use when or where it is liable to
get wet. If the machine is set up in the open, and it starts to rain, cover it up or move it into the
dry. If machine has got wet; dry it off as soon as possible, with a cloth or paper towel. Do not
use 240va.c. powered machines anywhere within a site area that is flooded or puddled, and do
not trail extension cables across wet areas. Keep the machine clean; it will enable you to more
easily see any damage that may have occurred. Clean the machine with a damp soapy cloth if
needs be, do not use any solvents or cleaners, as these may cause damage to any plastic parts
or to the electrical components.
!
WARNING!! KEEP TOOLS AND EQUIPMENT OUT OF THE
REACH OF YOUNG CHILDREN.
!
Keep the work area as uncluttered as is practical, this includes personnel
as well as material. Under no circumstances should CHILDREN be allowed
in work areas.

General Instruction for 240V Machines...
It is good practice to leave the machine unplugged until work is about to commence, also make
sure to unplug the machine when it is not in use, or unattended. It is also good practice to use
switch outlet supply points. Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body and not the cable.
Once you are ready to commence work, remove all tools used in the setting operations (if any)
and place safely out of the way. Re-connect the machine.
Carry out a final “tightness” check e.g. fence, blade guard, etc., check that the ‘machining path’
(the path that the work piece will travel) is unobstructed.
Make sure you are comfortable before you start work, balanced, not reaching etc.,
If the work you are carrying out is liable to generate flying grit, dust or chips, or the timber is
‘spiky’ with lots of arris splinters, wear the appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves, masks
etc., If the work operation appears to be excessively noisy, wear ear-defenders. If you wear your
hair in a long style, wearing a cap, safety helmet, hairnet, even a sweatband, will minimise the
possibility of your hair being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine, likewise,
consideration should be given to the removal of rings and wristwatches, if these are liable to be
a ‘snag’ hazard. Consideration should also be given to non-slip footwear, etc.
Observe the old woodworkers adage of never allowing your hand/fingers within one
handbreadth of the blades.
Do not work with machine tools of any description if you are tired, your attention is
wandering or you are being subjected to distraction. A deep cut, or worse; is not worth it!
Do not use this machine within the designated safety areas of flammable liquid stores or
in areas where there may be volatile gases. There are very expensive, very specialised
machines for working in these areas, THIS IS NOT ONE OF THEM.
Check that blades are the correct type and size, are undamaged and are kept clean and sharp,
this will maintain their operating performance and lessen the loading on the machine.
Above all, OBSERVE…. make sure you know what is happening around you, and USE YOUR
COMMON SENSE.

8. DON'T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
9. USE RIGHT TOOL. Dont force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed;
for example, don’t use circular saw for cutting tree limbs or logs.
10. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets,
or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended.
Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
11. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty
everyday, eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.
12. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vice to hold work when practical. It's safer than using
your hand and it frees both hands to operate tool.
13. DON'T OVERREACH. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools sharp and clean for best and safest
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
15. DISCONNECT TOOL before servicing; when changing accessories such as blades, bits,
cutters, and the like.
16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL STARTING. Make sure switch is in OFF position
before plugging in or inserting battery if applicable.
17. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult the owner's manual for recommended
accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury to persons.
18. NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool is tipped or if the cutting
tool is accidentally contacted.
19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate property and perform its
intended function - check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN power off. Dont leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. DON'T ABUSE CORD. Never carry tool by cord or pull it to disconnect from socket. Keep
cord from heat, oil and
sharp edges.

Specific Safety Instructions...
1. Never work without the protective equipment prescribed for the relevant operation and do
not make any modifications to the machine that could undermine safety.
2. Children and young persons must not operate this machine. This rule does not apply to
young persons over the age of 16 being trained and supervised by an expert.
3. Prior to all work, make sure that the safety and operating equipment is securely attached. Any
parts if damaged must be repaired correctly or replaced.
4. Set up the machine on solid ground so that the table is horizontal and the machine cannot tip
over.
5. Never work with pieces which are too big or too small for the machine's capacity.
6. Before planing, examine the workpiece for metal objects and stones and remove them if
necessary.
7. When planing, make sure that the cutter head not used is covered by the knife guard.
8. When planing thin pieces of timber, suitable devices must be used to ensure that these small
pieces are properly positioned and guided.
9. The anti-kickback device of the planer must be checked regularly to ensure that it remains in
proper working condition. All pawls of this device must move freely and must drop down by their
own weight when lifted. The point of these pawls must be kept sharp.
10. Do not begin planing until the cutter head has reached full speed.
11. When planning, 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 the cutter head.
12. Always keep your hands well away from the cutter head or the chip ejection area while the
machine is running.
13. A uniform feed rate when planing increases the life of the knives and reduces the risk of
accidents.
14. The planing knives must be sharpened or replaced in good time as blunt knives do not only
increase the risk of kickback, but also impose an unnecessary load on the motor.
15. The knives must be properly mounted and clamped (see CHAPTER CHANGE AND
SHARPEN KNIVES)
16. Before changing the knife and eliminating malfunctions (including the removal of trapped
chips) pull out the mains plug.
If used incorrectly, woodworking machines can be
dangerous. For this reason, always comply with the safety
instructions in this chapter, the accident prevention regulations of the relevant
liability insurance association or equivalent, and the safety regulations applicable in
the country concerned!

17. The sawdust created by planing makes it difficult to see as clearly as necessary and can
impair operator's health in certain circumstances. If not working outdoors or on well ventilated
premises therefore, the machine must be connected with the dust extraction port to an extractor
unit, such as a small portable dust extractor. When operating for a long period, the air velocity
must be at least 20 m/s (65.6 ft/sec.)
18. The sound pressure level at the workplace generally exceeds 85 dB(A). Users should
therefore wear ear protectors.
19. When operating the machine outdoors, use of an earth-leakage circuit-breaker is
recommended.
20. Any work on the electric components of the machine must be carried out only by a qualified
electrician.
21. Only original spare parts and accessories must be used. Otherwise the manufacturer does
not offer any warranty and does not accept any liability.
22. Regular cleaning of the machine is an important safety factor. Before beginning this task,
pull out the mains plug.
Additional Safety Rules for Planer Thicknessers...
Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch
power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage
supply is the same as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user, as
well as damaged to the tool. If In doubt, do not plug into tools. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor. Always remove
the plug from the mains socket before making any adjustments or maintenance,
including changing the blades.
!
WARNING!
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure that it has the right ampere rating for
your power tools and is in safe electrical condition.
• Ensure that you have removed foreign objects such as nails and screws front the work before
commencing.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be left around the work area.
• Damaged or contaminated work pieces may cause to hazards. Metal parts and splintery work
pieces penetrated into the workpiece can be very dangerous.
• Use safety equipment including safety goggles or shield, ear protection, dust mask and
protective clothing including safety gloves.
• Check to make sure that all fixing screws are tight before operating the tool.
• Ensure that the dust extractor is in place before commencing operating.
• Do not force the workpiece through the machine. Let the machine apply the
correct automatic fee rate.

IMPORTANT: The planer-thicknesser MB9020 is intended specially for planing
operations on solid timber, using high-alloyed (HL) knives. When being thicknessed, the contact
surface of the work piece must be flat. In case bigger or heavier workpieces should be worked it
is necessary to clamp the machine firmly to its supporting bench or table (e.g. with screw
clamps). The machine is not suitable for operation outdoors. Any other use beyond this scope is
considered as failing to comply with the intended purpose. Axminster Power Tools is not liable
for any damage or injuries caused as a result of this; the risk is borne solely by the user.
The NVR switch (7) of machine is located on the left side below the yellow folder cover. To
switch on the machine: Press green button “I”. To switch off the machine: Press red button “O”.
The switch can be locked to prevent the machine from being inadvertently switched on by
folding down the yellow cover. (See fig 5)
This machine is equipped with overload switch (6a) for motor running protection. Once the
overload occurs, the machine will stop automatically. After a while, the overload switch can be
reset. (See fig 6)
Adjustment:
Rotate the infeed adjusting knob (11) to adjust the table height to obtain the desired cutting
depth shown on the cutting depth scale(14). (See figs 7 & 8) Turn the lift and shift handle (13) to
set the guide fence (8) at a desired angle shown on the angle scale (8a & 8b).
!
CAUTION: When the planer thicknesser is not in use make sure cutterblock guard (9) is
