230 V
motor. Although
the
motors supplied with
this
machine will
run
safely
on a 13A
domestic ring main.
On
starting
the
machine
a
high current
of
very short duration
is
drawn, which will blow your
13A
fuse. Thismachine
can
only
be
connected
to a
16A
separate
radial circuit using
BS
4343 (CEE
17)
plug
and
socket. Ensure
the
installation
is
protected
by a
suitably sized fuse
or
miniature circuit
braker.
This work should
be
undertaken only
by a
qualified electrician!
DUST COLLECTION
We
strongly recommend
the use of a
Dust Collector with this machine.

C
Connection
to
Power
Mains
Single phase machines:
Check
if
voltage
of
power mains matches with voltage stated
on the
machine's type plate.
Fit
plug matching your
local standard outlet
to
power cord.
This
machine must
be
safety earthed.
The
yellow/green lead
is the
earth
conductor. A 220/240 V circuit must have a 13
amp
fuse, fitted
on a
110 V circuit a min.
20 amp
time-lag circuit
breaker
is
required. Extension cords must have a min. cross section
of 2.5
mm2/12
AWG.
3-phase
machines:
Check
if
voltage
of
power mains matches with voltage
stated
on the
machine's type plate.
Fit
plug
of
your local
standard
to
power cord. This machine must
be
safety earthed.
The
yellow/green lead
is the
earth conductor. Min.
lead cross section required
is
1.5
mm2/16
AWG. Protect circuit with
16 amp
time-lag fuses.
Direction
of
rotation
on
3-phase machines:
Switch
machine
on
briefly
to
check
cutterblock
direction
of
rotation.
If
necessary correct
by
interchanging
two
phase leads (black
or
brown).
Do not
interchange
the
yellow/green earth lead with
the
blue neutral
lead.
If in
doubt leave
job to a
qualified electrician.

5.0
Switch
All
switches
are
equipped with a no-volt release solenoid (magnetic switch). This feature prevents
the
machine
from
starting
up
after a power
failure. A light humming from
the
switch when machine
is
switched off,
but
connected
to
power mains,
is
normal
and
does
not
represent a fault.
5.1
-IMPORTANT - WIRING
INSTRUCTIONS
Warning:
This
appliance
must
be
earthed!
For
machines with a single phase motor (220-240 volt
or
110
volt)
the
mains lead
is to be
connected
in
accordance
with
the
following

Machines
fitted
with
3-phase
motors
are
connected
to the
mains using a 5-pin
industrial
appliance-inlet/connector
to
BS
4343
(IEC 309)
Ensure
it is
wired
and
connected only
by a
qualified electrician.

IF IN
DOUBT - CONSULT A QUALIFIED
ELECTRICIAN!
6.0
Motor
Protection
All
switches
are
equipped with a motor protection relay, which automatically trips when
the
motor
is
overloaded.
On
single-phase machine a small
pin is
located
on the
switch housing, which simply needs
to be
pushed
in to
reset
the
motor protection relay.
On
3-phase machines
the
switch needs
to be
switched off.
After
the
motor protection relay
has
tripped
let
motor cool down
for at
least
10
minutes.
7.0
Chip
Removal
Standard delivery with this machine
is a
suction connector
of
100
mm/4" diameter.
We
recommend
to use the
Elektra Beckum Dust
Collector
SPA
1000, which
has
been
designed
specifically
for use
with
this
planer/
thicknesser.
8.0
Chip
Removal
when
Planing
Set
thicknessing
bed to
approx.
2/3
capacity
and
place suction connector onto
it.
Raise thicknessing
bed to
lock
suction connector
in
position. Make sure that
the
notch
on top of the
connector locks
on the
spacer shaft.
