ADanger! Failure to observe the following warn- ings can result in serious injury or damage to property. Read the operating instruc- tions. Always keep your hands well clear of the cutterblock. Keep sufficient distance to driven components when operating the power tool. Height setting of thick- nesser bed Please see section 7.4 "Cleaning and care of the machine"! Information on the nameplate:

Anti-kickback lock The anti-kickback lock (33) prevents the work piece from being thrown back against the operator by the rotating cut- terblock. All fingers of the anti-kickback lock must end in a point on the underside. All anti-kickback fingers must auto- matically return to their rest position (downwards). Cutterblock guard extrusion The cutterblock guard extrusion (36) pre- vents the rotating cutterblock from being touched from the top when surface plan- ing. After loosening the lock lever (35) the cutterblock guard extrusion is adjusted to the work piece width. With the height adjustment screw (34) the cutterblock guard extrusion is adjusted to the work piece height. The height of the cutterblock cover extrusion can be adjusted from 0 to 85 mm for surface planing. For effective protection the cutterblock guard extrusion must always be set against the work piece. When guiding the work piece the hands slide over the cut- terblock guard extrusion. Chip chute When thickness planing the chip chute (37) serves as cutterblock guard. For this purpose the chip chute (37) is folded upwards and the adjustment screw (38) is turned anti-clockwise to the end position (chip chute is secured). ON/OFF Switch

• Switching on = press green switch.

• Switching off = press red switch. Undervoltage relay An undervoltage relay trips in the event of a voltage failure. This prevents automatic restarting of the machine when power is restored. To restart the machine after a power failure, the green ON switch but- ton must be pressed again. Overload protection The planer/thicknesser has an integrated overload protection. It shuts the machine down if the motor heats up too much. To restart the machine:

1. let motor cool down (approx. 10 min-

Infeed table height setting (when operated in surface planer mode) With the height setting for the thick- nesser bed the planing thickness (= thickness of the work piece after plan- ing) is set when the machine is used for thickness planing.

• One full turn of the crank changes the height position of the thicknesser bed by 3 mm.

• Per pass a maximum of 3 mm mate- rial can be removed.

• Work pieces of max. 160 mm thick- ness can be thickness planed. Infeed table height setting (when operated in surface planer mode) With the height setting (39) for the infeed table the depth of cut is set when the machine is used for surface planing.

• One graduation mark on the scale at the side of the infeed table (40) cor- responds to 1 mm chip removal. 25 Manufacturer 26 Serial number 27 Machine designation 28 Motor specifications (see also "Technical Specifications") 29 CE mark – This machine con- forms to the EC directives as per Declaration of Conformity 30 Year of manufacture 31 Waste disposal symbol - the machine can be disposed of through the manufacturer. 32 Permitted work piece dimensions

5.7 Power-supply connec-

tion BDanger! High voltage Operate in dry environment only. Operate machine only on a power source matching the following requirements (see also "Technical Specications"): fuse protection by a residual cur- rent operated device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity; outlets properly installed, earthed or grounded, and tested; 5-wire three-phase outlets with neutral lead. When a dust collector is used it must also be properly earthed. Position power supply cable so it does not interfere with the work and is not damaged. Protect power supply cable from heat, aggressive liquids and sharp edges. Use only extension cables with a suf- ficient lead cross section. Do not pull on power supply cable to unplug. BCheck direction of rotation! (machines with 3-phase motor only): Depending onthe phase sequence the cutterblock may turn in the wrong direction. This can cause damage to the machine and work piece. It is therefore necessary to check the direction of rotation after initial com- missioning and every time the machine is connected to a different outlet. If the direction of rotation is incorrect the phases must be changed on the supply line or mains connection by an electrician. The planer/thicknesser HC 260 can either be operated as surface planer or thickness planer:

6.1 Surface planer mode

3Note: Surface planing is used to level an uneven surface (= jointing), for exam- ple the edges of a plank. The work piece rests on top of the infeed table. The work piece is cut on the under- side. The feed direction for the work piece is exactly opposite than that for thickness planing. Work piece dimensions Preparation ADanger! Always unplug before servicing!

1. Turn setting screw (65) clockwise to

2. Swing chip chute down.

3. Turn both left and right lock lever

– both pins on the machine housing must engage in the lower slots of the outfeed table guide. 3Note: The pins must trigger the end switch. Only then the machine can be switched on.

5. Secure outfeed table (66) with both

6. Set the infeed table to 2.0 to 2.5 mm

by turning the height adjustment.

7. Crank thicknesser bed up to 120 mm

8. Place dust collector connector (this

is not the chip chute mentioned in step 1!) below the infeed table into the machine. Observe correct posi- tion of the dust collector connector: suction port points outwards;

slide dust collector connector in until the point of intersection of shaft and axis below the infeed table (arrow) is exactly above the matching seat of the dust collec- tor connector.

9. Crank the thicknesser bed carefully

up to secure the dust collector con- nector in position.

10. Connect a suitable dust collector to

the suction port of the dust collector connector.

11. Cover the cutterblock with the cutter-

block guard extrusion. 3Note: The dust extractor hood must be mounted. The dust extractor hood covers the knife shaft from below and must activate the limit switch to ena- ble the machine to be switched on. ADanger! Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak, ash) may cause cancer when inhaled: Use a suitable dust extraction unit when working in enclosed spaces: Fitting the outer diameter of the suction port (100 mm); air flow volume 550 m

/h; vacuum at suction port of thick- nesser 740 Pa; air speed at suction port of thick- nesser 20 m/s. A Caution! Operation without a dust collector is only possible: Outdoors; if only a minimum of chips is gen- erated (with narrow stock and lit- tle chip removal); with dustrespirator.

6.2 Surface Planing and

Edge Jointing ADanger! Risk of serious personal injury by rotating cutterblock! Always cover the part of the cutterblock that is not covered by the work piece with the cutterblock guard extrusion. Adjust the cutterblock guard extrusion exactly to the dimension of the work piece. Check the function of the cutter- block guard extrusion. Push the cutterblock guard extrusion downwards and release. After releasing the cutterblock guard extrusion has to spring back automatically to the set position. Do not operate the device with a defective cutterblock guard extrusion. Never reach with your hands under the cutterblock guard extrusion when guiding the work piece! Use a feeding aid (push block) when planing small work pieces, which can not be guided with a sufficient safety distance to the cutterblock. Use the jointer fence when edge jointing to have safe lateral sup- port and guiding. Use an auxiliary fence when planing thin or nar- row stock, to have your hands at a sufficient safety distance to the cutterblock. Use a stop block behind the work piece for set-in work, to keep the work piece from being thrown back against the direction of feed. Use a work piece support (e.g. roller stand) to keep long stock in balance. Do not pull the work piece back over the unguarded cutterblock! Use if necessary: Dust collection device (optional accessory); sliding wax to enhance the gliding of work pieces across the infeed and out- feed table.

1. Assume proper operating position:

on the switch side; head-on to the machine;

2. Set jointer fence as required.

3. Set depth of cut with starknob screw

(68) on the infeed table. 3Note: The machine can remove 3 mm maxi- mum in a single pass. This measure, however, shall only be used: with very sharp planer knives; for soft woods; if the full planing width is not utilized. Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the machine. It is best to make several passes to bring the work piece down to the desired thick- ness.

4. Place work piece against jointer

fence (if required, use auxiliary fence).

5. Adjust cutterblock guard extrusion:

Planing small edges (jointing): Push the cutterblock guard extru- sion (69) laterally to the work piece. Planing wide surfaces: Lower the cutterblock guard extrusion (70) from above onto the work piece.

6. Switching on the motor.

7. Push the work piece straigh across

the infeed table. Keep fingers together and guide work piece with the flat of your hand. Exert down-

ward pressure on the work piece only in the infeed table area.

8. Switch machine off if no further thick-

nessing is to be done immediately afterwards.

6.3 Thickness Planer Mode

3Note: Thickness planing reduces the thick- ness of a work piece with one already planed surface. The work piece is fed through the thicknesser. The surface already planed flat rests on the thicknesser bed. The work piece is cut on the upper side. The feed direction for the work piece is exactly opposite than for surface planing. Work piece dimensions Preparation ADanger! Always unplug before servicing!

1. Loosen clamping lever (71) and

2. Turn both left and right clamping

lever (74) outwards.

3. Remove outfeed table (73).

4. Swing chip chute (77) up over the

5. Turn setting screw clockwise to the

end position. The guard cannot be opened.

6. When operating with a chip extrac-

tion unit: Remove wing nut from the chip chute (77). Place the chip extraction hood (75) on the chip chute (77).

7. Secure chip chute (77) with the wing

nut (76). 3Note: For thickness planing the chip chute (77) serves as cutterblock cover. The chip chute must activate the limit switch, otherwise the machine cannot be started.

8. If a dust collector is to be used, con-

nect the dust collector connector's suction port (75) to a suitable dust collector. ADanger! Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak, ash) may cause cancer when inhaled: Use a suitable dust extraction unit when working in enclosed spaces: Fitting the outer diameter of the suction port (100 mm); Air volume 550 m

/h; vacuum at suction port of thick- nesser 740 Pa; air speed at suction port of thicknesser 20 m/s. A Caution! Operation without a dust collector is only possible: Outdoors; if only a minimum of chips is gen- erated (with narrow stock and lit- tle chip removal); with dust respirator.

6.4 Thickness Planing

ADanger! Entanglement hazard by the rotating feed rollers! Do not reach into the machine! Use a feeding aid (push stick) if you want to feed short stock into the thicknesser. Do not jam work pieces. Risk of kickback. Remove stuck stock only after motor has come to a complete stop and machine is unplugged. Guide a work piece on the out- feed side if it has been fed so far into the thicknesser that it can no longer be safely guided from the infeed side. Do not thickness plane more than two work pieces at the same time. In this case feed both work pieces near the outer edges of the thicknesser bed. Use if necessary: Dust collection device (optional accessory); sliding wax to enhance the glid- ing of work pieces across the infeed and outfeed table. A Caution! There is a limit switch inside the machine. Take care not to damage the limit switch when feeding work pieces.

1. Assume proper operating position:

on the switch side; head-on to the machine;

2. Set planing thickness with the crank.

3Note: The machine can remove 3 mm maxi- mum in a single pass. This measure, however, shall only be used: with very sharp planer knives; for soft woods; if the full planing width is not utilized. length width height 200 mm min. – 4 mm min. use extra work piece supports or helper if over 1500 mm max. 260 mm max. 160 mm

Otherwise there is a risk of overloading the machine. It is best to make several passes to bring the work piece down to the desired thick- ness.

3. To thickness plane stock which sur-

faces are not parallel, use suitable feeding aids (make fitting tem- plates).

4. Switching on the motor.

5. Feed work piece slowly and straight

into the thicknesser. It will then be automatically fed through the thick- nesser.

6. Guide work piece straight through

7. Switch machine off if no further thick-

nessing is to be done immediately afterwards. ADanger! Prior to all servicing: Switch off the machine. Disconnect the mains plug. Wait until machine has come to a complete stop. Replace defective parts, especially of safety devices, only with genuine replacement parts. Parts not tested and approved by the manufacturer can cause unforeseen damage. After all servicing: Put back into operation and check all safety installations. Make sure that no tools or other parts remain on or in the machine. Repair and maintenance work other than described in this section should only be carried out by qualified spe- cialists.

7.1 Replacing Planer Knives

3Note: Blunt planer knives are recognizable by: reduced planing performance; increased risk of kickback; motor overloads. ADanger! Risk of personal injury by cuts from the planer knives! Wear gloves when changing planer knives. To remove the planer knives:

fully and pull extrusion fully out- wards.

4. Turn the four hexagon head screws

of the planer knife lockbar fully in (wear gloves!).

5. Remove planer knife lockbar (79)

with planer knife (78) from the cutter- block (80).

6. Clean all surfaces of cutterblock and

planer knife lockbar. ADanger! Do not use cleaning agents (e.g. to remove resin residue) that could cor- rode the light metal components; the stability of the light metal compo- nents would be adversely affected. To install the planer knives: 3Note: If you use planer knives having an edge on both sides you simply need to reverse the knives, provided the other edge is sufficiently sharp. ADanger! Use only suitable planer knives (see “Technical Specifications") – unsuitable, incorrectly mounted, dull or damaged planer knives can work loose, or increase the risk of kickback con- siderably. Always replace or reverse both planer knives. Install planer knives using only genuine replacement parts.

7. Place fresh planer knife on planer

knife lockbar as shown. Both pins of the planer knife lockbar must fit into the holes (81) of the planer knife.

8. Place the planer knife lockbar (83)

with the planer knife (82) into the cutterblock. Ensure that the knife does not slip off the pins of the planer knife lockbar.

9. Turn the four hexagon head screws

in the planer knife lockbar out, until lock bar (85) and knife (84) can still just be moved along the axis of the cutterblock.

10. There are two ways to check the pro-

jection of the knives: With the setting gauge (86) (under the prevailing regulations governing safety at work this must be supplied with the machine). Place planer knife setting gauge on cutterblock as shown. The knives must project so much that they touch the setting gauge. This check must be performed on both planer knives and at both ends of the cutterblock.

Use an aluminium straightedge (87) (this is more precise than using a setting gauge). Place aluminium straightedge as shown over outfeed table and cutter- block. Turn cutterblock by hand one turn against the direction of feed. The planer knives are set correctly if the straight edge is moved forward 4 to 6 mm by the turning cutterblock. This check must be performed at both ends of the cutterblock.

11. To set the knife projection, turn the

grub screws in the planer knife lock- bar with a 3 mm Allen key as required.

12. To tighten, turn the four hexagon

head screws of the planer knife lock- bar fully out. To prevent distortion of the planer knife lockbar start with the screws in the centre, then tighten the screws closer to the edges. ADanger! Do not extend tool when tighten- ing the screws. Do not tighten bolts by striking the wrench.

13. Return cutterblock guard extrusion

to its starting position.

2. Unscrew the two nuts of the drive

cover and remove the drive cover.

3. Remove chips and dust with dust

4. Apply a light coat of care and main-

tenance spray to roller chain and shaft and axle bearings (do not use oil!).

5. Replace the drive cover and secure

2. Unscrew the nut of drive belt cover

and remove cover (89).

3. Check belt tension with thumb pres-

sure. The drive belt (88) should not give more than 10 mm in the centre. If the drive belt requires tensioning:

4. Loosen the four motor mounting

screws by approx. one turn.

5. Push motor down to tension belt.

6. When belt tension is correct tighten

motor mounting screws (90) cross- wise.

7. If necessary, remove chips and dust

with dust collector or brush.

8. Put belt cover back on and secure

Before carrying out any fault service or maintenance work, always:

1. Switch machine off.

2. Wait until the saw has come to a

ACutting hazard when touching the rotating cutterblock! Unintentional startup of the machine may lead to serious injuries. ARisk of burning! Shortly after working the planer knives may be hot - Let the device cool down before rectifiying any mal- function. ADanger! After each malfunction rectification: Put back into operation and check all safety installations. Motor does not run:

• Undervoltage relay tripped by tem- porary voltage failure. Start again.

• No mains voltage. Check cables, plug, outlet and mains fuse.

• Motor has overheated, e.g. due to blunt planer knives, overloading or chip buildup. Remove cause for overheating and allow to cool down for approx. 10 minutes, then start again.

• Contact pins of outfeed table or dust chute have not engaged in the limit switch. Correctly install outfeed table or dust chute, respectively. If neces- sary, adjust contact pins. When thickness planing: Check if the setting screw of the chip guard is turned to the end position and correct if necessary.

• The values stated are emission values and as such do not necessarily constitute values which are safe for the workplace. Although there is a correlation between emission levels and environmental impact levels, whether further precautions are necessary cannot be derived from this. Factors influencing the actually present environmental impact level in the workplace include the characteristics of the work area and other noise sources, i.e. the number of machines and other neighbouring work processes. Also, permissible work- place values may vary from country to country. This information is intended to assist the user in estimate of hazards and risks.28 FRANÇAIS
