Frequently Asked Questions - PLM1800 SCHEPPACH

What types of wood can I plane with the Scheppach PLM1800?

The planer is designed for solid, rectangular, debarked timber. Do not use wood containing nails, wires, numerous knots, or metallic/fragile materials.

How to adjust the planing height?

Use the crank handle (4). Turn clockwise to raise the planing unit. Always adjust from bottom to top: first lower about 5 mm below the desired height, then raise to the desired value. One turn of the crank corresponds to approximately 2 mm.

What is the maximum depth of cut?

The maximum depth of cut is 2.8 mm. For wider pieces or harder wood, reduce the depth. Make several passes if necessary.

How to replace the planer blades?

Unplug the machine. Remove the extraction hood and the planer shaft cover. Unscrew the 6 screws of the planer, remove the terminal block and the planer using the magnets. Turn the blade or replace it. Reassemble in reverse order, respecting the receiving pins. Wear protective gloves.

What to do if the machine stops during operation?

This may be due to overload: the overload switch has tripped. Wait a few minutes for it to cool down, then reset it. Also check the condition of the blades and reduce the cutting depth if necessary.

How to clean and maintain the planer?

Always unplug before cleaning. Use a damp cloth with black soap. Regularly clean the tables, rollers, and anti-kickback claws. Lubricate the threaded rods and guide columns every 10 hours with a dry lubricant. Do not oil the motor.

What protective equipment should I wear?

Wear safety glasses, a dust mask, hearing protection (sound level >85 dB) and protective gloves when changing blades. Avoid loose clothing and tie back long hair.

How to use the push stick?

The push stick (28) is stored at the back of the machine. Use it to guide short pieces (less than 152 mm) to maintain a safe distance from the planer shaft.

Can I plane metal or plastic parts?

No, the machine is exclusively designed for solid wood. Never machine metal, plastic, or wood containing nails, screws, or other foreign objects. This would damage the blades and pose a risk of injury.

How to connect a dust extractor?

Use the extraction sleeve (25) and the provided adapter (5) to connect a chip extractor. The air speed at the sleeve must be greater than 20 m/s for effective extraction.

10.6 Changing the carbon brushes (fig. 20)

ATTENTION! Disconnect the mains plug before carrying out any maintenance, cleaning or adjustment work.

• Check the condition of the brushes after approx. 50 operating hours. These must be replaced when the brush length is below 3mm . (2 pieces required) Always replace in pairs.

10.7 Workpiece return rollers (fig. 1)

The workpiece return rollers (2) serve to return a finished planed workpiece or to place it on the machine without scratching the machine housing (1).

11. Working instructions

• Only work with sharp planing blades!
• Insert the workpiece with the thicker end first, hollow side at the bottom.

• The maximum chip removal of this planer is 2.8mm . However, this dimension may only be utilised with the following factors:

• When the workpiece width is 152mm

• When using very sharp planing knives;
• When planing soft wood.

Otherwise there is a risk that the machine will be overloaded. It is best to work on a workpiece in several operations until the desired thickness is reached.

• As the width of the workpiece increases, the chip removal must be reduced.
• If the workpiece gets stuck, lift the planer approx. 1 mm (1/2 crank turn). Plane the workpiece along the grain if possible.
• The surface quality is better if less material is removed in multiple passes.
• Switch the machine off if work is not going to continue immediately.
  Workpieces that are shorter than 152mm must not be processed.
• Plane a maximum of 2 workpieces at a time. Feed at both outer edges.
• Use the push stick for small workpieces.

12. Electrical Connection

The electric motor is connected in a ready-to-operate state. The connection corresponds to the relevant VDE and DIN regulations. The mains connection at the customer's work place and the extension cable used must correspond to these regulations.

• The product meets the requirements of EN 61000-3-11 and is subject to special connection conditions. This means that use of the product at any freely selectable connection point is not allowed.
• Given unfavourable conditions in the power supply the product can cause the voltage to fluctuate temporarily.
  The product is intended solely for use at connection points that a) do not exceed a maximum permitted supply impedance Z_max = 0,357 or b) have a continuous current-carrying capacity of the mains of at least 100 A per phase.
• As the user, you are required to ensure, in consultation with your electric power company if necessary, that the connection point at which you wish to operate the product meets one of the two requirements, a) or b), named above.

Important information

In the event of an overloading the motor will switch itself off. After a cool-down period (time varies) the motor can be switched back on again.

Faulty electrical connecting leads

Insulation damage often occurs at electrical connecting leads.

Causes include:

• Pressure marks caused when connecting leads are run through windows or the cracks of doors.
• Folds caused by the improper attachment of running of the connecting leads.
• Cutsresulting from the crossing of the connecting lead.
• Insulation damages caused by the ripping out of the connecting lead from the wall socket.
• Cracks due to the ageing of the insulation. Faulty electrical connecting leads such as these may not be used and are highly dangerous due to the insulation damage.

Check electrical connecting leads regularly for damage. Ensure that the connecting lead is not attached to the mains supply when you are checking it.

Electrical connecting leads must correspond to the relevant VDE and DIN regulations. Only use connecting leads with the code H05VV-F.

The type designation must be printed on the connecting lead by regulation.

With a single-phase a.c. motor, we recommend a C 16A or K 16A fuse for machines with a high start-up current (from 3000 Watt)!

Connection type M

Connection method, in which the connection cable can be easily replaced without the aid of a special tool, using a special cable, for example with moulded bending protection sleeve or crimped connections.

13. Cleaning, maintenance and ordering spare parts

General maintenance measures

Wipe chips and dust off the machine from time to time using a cloth. In order to extend the service life of the tool, oil the rotary parts once monthly. Do not oil the motor.

When cleaning the plastic do not use corrosive products.

WARNING! Pull out the power plug before performing any maintenance, cleaning and adjusting work.

13.1 Cleaning

• Keep protective devices, air vents and the motor housing as free of dust and dirt as possible. Rub the device clean with a clean cloth or blow it off with compressed air at low pressure.
• We recommend that you clean the device directly after every use.
• Clean the device at regular intervals using a damp cloth and a little soft soap. Do not use any cleaning products or solvents; they could attack the plastic parts of the device. Make sure that no water can penetrate the device interior. Water penetrating an electrical device increases the risk of an electric shock.
• Clean the chip ejection and/or dust extraction on a regular basis.
• Do not spray the device with water!

13.2 Maintenance

13.2.1 Machine (fig. 21 + 22)

Periodically lubricate the following parts about every 10 operating hours:

• Anti-return claws (42)
• Threaded rod for adjusting the height of the planer (43)
• Guide columns for height adjustment (44)

Use only dry lubricant.

The feed table, discharge table, planing table, feed/discharge rollers and anti-return claws must always be kept free from resin. Soiled feed/discharge rollers or anti-return claws must be cleaned. To prevent the motor from overheating, dust that settles in the ventilation openings must be removed on a regular basis. Improve the sliding capability of the table by periodically treating it with a lubricant.
