Safety information
Specified conditions of use
This machine is intended for thickness planing of
solid timber. The permissible workpiece dimensions must be observed (see technical specifications).
Any other use is not as specified. Any use not as
specified, modifications to the machine, or use of
parts not tested and approved by the equipment
manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage!
General safety information
Observe the basic safety rules for the operation of
electric tools, to keep the risk of
-
personal injury
-
fire
-
electric shock
as little as possible.
Please note in particular:
A planer is a dangerous tool which can, due to operator carelessness, cause serious personal injury. It
is therefore recommended you follow the safety
information given below, and know and follow the
legal regulations pertaining to the operation of planers.
Danger!
A
The planer shall only be started and operated by persons being familiar with the operation of planers, and at any time are aware of
the hazards associated with the operation of
such machines.
Persons under the age of 18 shall operate
this machine only in the course of their vocational training under the supervision of an
instructor.
The following residual risks principally exist
with planers and can not, even by employing
safety devices, completely eliminated:
-
Entanglement hazard: In the course of
planing, the workpiece is automatically
drawn in and fed through the machine.
You must therefore ensure that no parts of
the body or objects can be drawn into the
planer together with the workpiece, while
the planer is in operation. Do not wear
apparel that can get caught and drawn in
by the machine: ( no ties, no clothes with
wide sleeves).
-
Risk of workpiece kickback (workpiece is
caught by the cutterblock and hurled
against the operator):
Operate machine only with a fully functional anti-kickback lock. Always use sharp
cutter knives. If in doubt, inspect workpiece for the presence of foreign matter
such as nails or screws.
-
Hazard generated by insecure planer
stand: When working long stock use suitable workpiece supports on both sides of
the planer.
Prevent adverse body positions. Ensure
firm footing, and keep your balance at all
times.
-
Use planer within its limits, and only as
specified. Prevent adverse body positions.
-
Risk of injury by touching the revolving
cutterblock: Always keep sufficient
distance to the cutterblock. Switch the planer off when not in use.
-
Risk of cut with the cutterblock at standstill: Wear gloves when changing cutter
knives.
-
Hazard generated by environmental conditions:
Do not operate the planer in rain or wet
surroundings. Ensure sufficient lighting.
Do not operate the planer near inflammable liquids or gases.
-
Hazard by overloading the planer:
Use the planer only within its stated capacity range. Use the planer only as specified.
-
Hazard generated by defects of the planer:
Check planer for defects before each use
Before starting the planer make sure that
no objects (e.g. tools) are inside the
machine. Do not use the planer with a
damaged ON/OFF switch.

Safety devices
Anti-kickback lock (A)
The anti-kickback lock prevents a workpiece being
thrown back against the operator by the rotating
cutterblock.
The anti-kickback lock must not be bent.
UP
WN
DO
A
Cutterblock cover (B)
The cutterblock cover prevents that the upper part
of the cutterblock can be touched from the top.
While the machine is not unplugged and the cutterblock has not stopped, the cutterblock cover must
be installed.
Instead of the cutterblock cover a dust extraction
adaptor can be installed.
Operating controls
On/off switch
·
To switch ON = press green switch button.
To switch OFF = press red switch button.
An undervoltage relay trips in the event of a
3
voltage failure, to prevent a restarting of the
machine when the power is restored. To
restart the machine the green button must be
actuated again.
Reset button for overload relay
The planer/thicknesser has a build-in overload protection (arrow). This stops the machine if the motor
becomes too hot. To restart the planer/thicknesser:
1. If necessary, let motor cool down;
2. depress the reset button;
3. press green switch button.
B
Rise and fall mechanism
With the rise and fall mechanism the planing thickness (= workpiece thickness after thicknessing) is
set. Workpieces of up to max. 153 mm thickness
can be worked.
