+======Induction======
+The machine uses our two-part self-induction system. Part 1 of the induction comprises the study materials below. Part 2 comprises an online test to demonstrate you have understood part 1.
+Once you have studied the materials below, you can find Part 2 on the access control portal in the Hackspace. You can learn more about that [[access_control:home|at Access Control]].
+Once you successfully complete the part 2 test, you will be shown the code for the lockout padlock. You can look this up at any time on the induction machine. Ensure you lock the thicknesser after you have used it!
 ===== Instructions =====
-The Charnwood PT10S has been purchased to replace previously less reliable and less capable planers and thicknessers. It is designed with the sole intention of making wood a uniform thickness, flatness, and squareness. It can be used to flatten and square all four sides of a piece of wood, although you would probably find it easier to use another means (e.g. a table saw) to square up the fourth side.

 The Planer Thicknesser has two operating modes: Planer and Thicknesser. In Planer mode, it can be used to flatten a face of a piece of wood, and make a second face flat and square to the first face. In Thicknesser mode, it can be used to flatten the face opposite the first face, and bring the wood to an exact height dimension. The fourth and final face could be flattened and squared in the thicknesser if the wood is stable sitting upright, or it could be dimensioned using the table saw.

-===== Basic Guidelines (Copied from Manual) =====
+==== Manual ====
+Much of the below information is taken from the manual. That said, please read the whole page prior to taking your induction!
+{{ :equipment:woodshop:pt10s-owners-manual.pdf |PT10S Manual}}
+===== Basic Guidelines =====
+Before starting, check that the dust extractor is not full. If it is full, take the bag out to the building's green skip and fit a new one.
+Before starting, check that you have enough infeed and outfeed space. If not, you will need to move the planer thicknesser
+When you have finished with the Planer Thicknesser, clean it and return it to planing mode. You will likely need to vacuum it, as the dust extractor does not extract 100% of dust.
+==== MOVING THE PLANER THICKNESSER ====
+  - There is a caster on each corner of the planer thicknesser. The back two are permanently on the ground. The front two need to be activated by standing on the foot lever.
+  - Stand on the foot lever on each side of the planer thicknesser.
+  - It should now be easy to pull the planer thicknesser forward until there is enough infeed and outfeed space for your work. Note that the infeed and outfeed sides for planing mode and thicknessing mode are reversed!
+  - lift the foot levers back up fully with your feet, so that the planer thicknesser is no longer rested on four wheels.
+  - Gently rock it. If it wobbles, repeat the above steps and adjust it until the wobble is minimised.
+  - Ensure that the dust extraction tube has a clear run and is free of kinks
+Ensure you return the planer thicknesser to its position beside the wall when you have finished.

 ==== PLANING MODE ====
 With the machine set up in planing mode:
- - Use the Cutter Guard Height Adjuster to adjust the height of the Cutter Guard, so that the workpiece can fit underneath.
+  - Use the Cutter Guard Height Adjuster to adjust the height of the Cutter Guard, so that the workpiece can fit underneath.
- - Set the Planing Depth Adjuster to the desired setting, reading off the Planing Depth Scale. If in doubt, set the depth to 0.5mm

- - Connect a dust extractor to the 100mm diameter outlet.
+  - Set the Planing Depth Adjuster to the desired setting, reading off the Planing Depth Scale. If in doubt, set the depth to 0.5mm
- - Start the machine, wait for it to get up to full speed.
+  - Connect a dust extractor to the 100mm diameter outlet.
- - Lay the work piece flat on the Infeed Table and push it over the cutter block. Use a push stick or push pad to ensure hands are kept well away from the cutters.

+  - {{:equipment:woodshop:pt10s:planer_rtl.jpg?400|}}
   - Pick up the work piece and return it to the starting position. Make as many passes as necessary to achieve a flat planed finish.
   - When planing taller pieces, over 60mm, undo the Cutter Guard Lock and slide the Cutter Guard away from the Side Fence just enough to provide clearance for the workpiece.

   - Read off the scale or use the Digital Position Indicator, with accuracy down to 0.1mm, to set the bed at the starting thickness. Then raise the bed another 1 – 2.5mm, depending on how much stock is to be removed.
   - Tighten the Thicknessing Bed Height Lock.

+  - Lay the work piece flat on the end of the table. If the workpiece is small, use some push sticks to slide it. Otherwise, slide it forward until you feel the drive rollers take it from you. Let go of the work piece and walk to the other end of the machine to support the workpiece as it is fed out of the thicknesser. Your hands should **never** go under the blue hood.
   - A safety bar will prevent you from trying to make too big a cut. If the timber hits the safety bar, lower the table to take a smaller cut.
   - Make as many passes as necessary to get the desired finished dimension.

-==== Moving the thicknesser ====
-To move the thicknesser for longer pieces of wood, raise the feet either side of the base press down to lift the unit onto it's wheels and then lift up to lower back down to the ground. Make sure before use that the unit is stable.

 ===== General Guide =====
-When faced with a rough sawn piece of timber which requires planning on all 4 sides and taking down to a specific finished dimension, follow this guide:{{  :equipment:woodshop:planerthicknesserwoodguide.png?200|}}
+When faced with a rough sawn piece of timber which requires planning on all 4 sides and taking down to a specific finished dimension, follow this guide:
   - Set the machine up for planing.
   - Identify the flattest of the two wider faces on the timber. (Face 1 on diagram)
+  - {{:equipment:woodshop:planerthicknesserwoodguide.png?200|}}
+  - If there is a concave side and a convex side, you should plane the concave side first.
+  - {{:equipment:woodshop:pt10s:convex_concave.png?200|}}
   - Pass that side over the planer as many times as necessary until a flat and smooth finish is achieved.
   - Hold the planed side (1) firmly against the side fence and pass the narrow side (Face 2 on diagram) over the planer as many times as necessary until a flat and smooth finish is achieved.
