Frequently Asked Questions - HPT 8 Cocraft

How do I change the planing blades on the Cocraft HPT 8?

First, unplug the tool and remove the angle stop. Lift the cutter cover and turn the cutter by hand until a blade's tightening screws are visible. Loosen the four screws on the steel holder with the Allen key, then remove the blade and holder. Clean the slot and holder, then insert a new or sharpened blade. Adjust the protrusion to a maximum of 0.1 mm above the outflow table using the adjusting screws, then tighten the fastening screws. Repeat for the other blade, ensuring both protrude equally.

What is the maximum depth of cut for the HPT 8 planer?

The maximum depth of cut is 2 mm. For best surface finish, use a depth of 0.5–1.5 mm.

How do I adjust the cutting depth?

Use the wheel (L) on the front of the machine. Turning clockwise decreases the cutting depth, counter-clockwise increases it. The setting is shown on the scale (M). Always adjust with the power off and unplugged.

Can I connect a dust extractor to the HPT 8?

Yes, the planer comes with an extraction hood (E) that must always be mounted for safety. Connect a suitable dust extractor to the hood's outlet. The hood also acts as a cover, and both locking levers (H) must be engaged for the motor to start.

What safety equipment should I use with this planer?

Always wear hearing protection, safety goggles or a visor, and a respirator during use. Use non-slip shoes and avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Ensure the machine is properly grounded and the emergency stop is accessible.

How do I set the angle stop for bevel planing?

Attach the angle stop to the side of the outflow table with two screws (A). Loosen the locking lever (B), set the desired angle on the scale (C) between 45° and 90°, then tighten the lever.

What should I do if the motor stops suddenly during operation?

Press the emergency stop (P). Allow the motor to cool for 15–30 minutes. Press the reset button (Q) to reset the motor overload protection. Ensure the cutter is clear and try restarting. If the problem persists, check for blockages or consult a technician.

How do I raise or lower the planing table for thickness planing?

Insert the provided crank (O) onto the axle on top of the machine. Turn the crank clockwise to lower the table (increase thickness) or counter-clockwise to raise it. One full turn equals 3 mm. Remove the crank after adjustment.

What are the minimum workpiece dimensions for safe planing?

Workpieces must be at least 250 mm long, 19 mm wide, and 5 mm thick. Maximum width is 204 mm, and maximum thickness for surface planing is 120 mm. Never plane material shorter than 250 mm or thinner than 5 mm.

How do I mount the planer to a workbench?

The planer weighs 26 kg and must be securely fastened to a stable, flat surface. Use the four 9 mm mounting holes with M8 bolts, washers, and locking nuts (not included). The mounting hole pattern is 350 mm apart lengthwise and 240 mm apart widthwise.

2. Loosen the arm (F) holding the cutter cover (K) and unfold it.
3. Pull both locking levers (H) on the extraction hood.
4. Push in the extraction hood under the levelling table so that the locking levers (H) fit the vents in the levelling table (G); push in the locking levers (H).

Setting cutter cover

1. Loosen the locking wheel holding the arm (F) and lift to the correct height (the material's thickness); tighten the locking wheel.
2. Press the cover against the material so that it covers the cutter's free parts, or place above the material if it is wide.
3. Tighten the cover's locking wheel.

Level planing

1. Mounting the extraction hood.
2. Set the desired cutting depth with the wheel (L); settings of the feeding table (N) are shown on the shell (M) (clockwise = decrease, counter-clockwise = increase).
3. Cutting depth of 0.5–1.5 mm provides the best surface. Warning! Position the cutter cover so that it covers the cutter's free parts.

1. Press the board against the feeding table and position the cutter cover at the same height as the left hand (the board should easily go through the gap). Start the motor and let it rev up then slowly and carefully feed the board through over the cutter. Allow hands to move over the cutter cover.

Surface planing

1. Mount the extraction hood (E) above the levelling table.
2. Set desired dimension for the material with the crank (O) (1 turn = 3 mm), feed the material's thickness and set the planing thickness 1–2 mm less and make the first plane cut.
3. Start the motor and let it rev up then slowly and carefully feed onto the planing table with the level planing side facing downwards.
4. Slowly push the board inwards until the feeding roller grips the board. If the board is wedge-shaped put the thicker end in first.

Warning! Never plane short material, feed in narrow materials in the middle of the width of the cutter. Make sure the cable moves freely and does not get tangled in the cutter.

Changing planing irons

1. Planing irons can be sharpened (HSS) up to three times (3 × 0.05 mm):
2. Remove the angle stop and lift up the arm holding the cover.
3. Turn the cutter by hand until one of the iron's tightening screws is visibly turned upwards.
4. Loosen the four screws on the steel holder (which press the planing iron against the cutter) with the accompanying Allen keys.
5. Remove the planing iron and steel holder out of the slot on the cutter. With an oiled cloth, clean the steel holder, slot and planing iron, removing waste, shavings and dust.
6. Sharpen the planing iron or change it. Put the planing iron and steel holder in the slot again and lock them in place by turning the tightening screws clockwise (but do not tighten fully), make sure the planing iron is lying against the cutter allowing the two adjusting screws to fit into their notch in the planing iron.
7. Adjust the edges sticking out with the accompanying 4 mm Allen keys by turning the steel holder's two adjusting screws in and out according to requirement. After setting correctly, tighten the fastening screws again.
8. Check how much cutter steel sticks out above the outflow table with a template or ruler on the outflow table. The maximum protrusion over the outflow table is: 0.1 mm. (measure several times over the width of the whole planing blade).
9. Tighten the screws and measure the edges sticking out again after tightening. Attention! Do not use a key with a longer shaft than the one delivered.
10. Repeat the procedure with the other planing iron, then check that both planing irons stick out the same amount.
