Furthermore, these values can be used to assess in advance the strain on the user caused by the sound. Warning! Depending on how you use the pow- er tool, the actual values can vary from those stated. Take measures to protect yourself from noise. Consider the entire work process, i.e. even times during which the power tool works without load or is switched off. Suitable meas- ures include, amongst others, regular main- tenance and care of the power tool and the attachments, regular breaks as well as good planning of the work processes. The gures quoted are emission levels and are not necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a correlation between the emission and exposure levels, this cannot be used relia- bly to determine whether or not further precau- tions are required. Factors that inuence the actual level of exposure of the workforce in- clude the characteristics of the work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the number of machines and other adjacent processes. Also the permissible exposure level can vary from country to country. This information, however, will enable the user of the machine to make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

Risk of kick-back.The cutter block must be fully covered. Use a push stick to plane any short workpiec- es.Take additional safety precautions if you are planingany narrow workpieces. It may be necessaryto use lateral pressure equipment and springloadedcovers to ensure that you can work insafety. The machine is not suitable for cutting re- bates.The anti-kick safeguard and the infeed roller mustbe inspected at regular intervals. Machines tted with a sawdust extractor an- dextractor hoods must be connected to the devices concerned. The type of material used can have a negative inuence on the dust gen- erated. The machine is designed exclusively for the cutting of wood and similar materials. The knife must be replaced immediately once it becomes worn down by 5%. If a push stick is not used there may be a risk of serious danger. The push stick should always be kept at the point provided on the left-hand side of the machine when not used. There is a greater risk of danger when small workpieces are fed in by hand. Always ob- serve the manufacturerʼs instructions on the use of the push stick. If the safety covers, infeed table or mesh are incorrectly aligned they could lead to uncon- trollable situations. Damaged or soiled work- pieces may cause a risk of danger. Never use metal parts in the machine or any materials which can fracture or shatter. Risk of injury! To cut long workpieces, always place them on a mobile table or similar type of supporting equipment. Otherwise there is a risk that you may lose control over the work- piece. The machine is only suitable for planing and thicknessing. Wear suitable protective clothing when work- ing with the machine.

• ear protection to prevent damage to your ears,

• a breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling hazardous particles of dust,

• safety gloves to avoid injuries from sharp edges or knives,

• safety goggles to avoid eye injuries from y- ing parts. It is imperative that the following situations are avoided at all times: Premature interruption of the cutting operation (planing cuts which do not complete the entire length of the work- piece; planing of uneven pieces of wood which do not lie at on the infeed table). The machine is designed for private use only. It is prohibited to use the machine for professional or com- mercial use. Residual risk: Bear in mind that there is always the possibility of residual risks associated with the use of the machine even if you comply with all the safety instructions.

• Injuries to ngers or hands from parts of the machine or from workpieces, e.g. when changing the planing knife

• Risk of electric shock if you use power con- nections which do not comply with stand- ards

• Contact with conductive parts on opened electrical components

• Hearing impairments if you work for lengthy periods without ear protection

• Emission of hazardous sawdust if a dust ex- tractor is not used. Even if all safety precautions are complied with it is still possible for some residual risks to remain. Important! If the primary mains connection is in a poor condition there is a risk of short- circuits when the machine is switched on. This may also affect other functions (e.g. the light- ing up of indicator lamps). Should there be any faults in the primary mains connection (max. current impedance < 0.105 Ω), please contact your local electricity supplier to advice and in- formation. If the blade is fastened and positioned incor- rectly this may result in the blade being ung out, which may be a cause of danger. There- fore, before operation, make sure that the blade is correctly tted and adjusted in accord- ance with the operating instructions. Every part of the blade shaft not used for planning must be covered. Check the machine and carry out required maintenance work on it each time before you start it up. In particular, inspect all the anti-kick claws and the infeed drive shaft. Make sure that the dust extraction system and collector are connected and are used correct- ly. Make sure that the dust extraction system is suitable. Fine sawdust may not only be harm- ful to health, in certain concentrations it can also be potentially explosive. Always switch off the machine and pull out the mains plug before making any adjustments or changing settings. Sawdust may cause risks to health.

The connection complies with rel- evant VDE and DIN stipulations. The mains connection at the customer’s as well as the extension lead used have to comply with these stipulations or the local EVU-stipulations. Duration of use / duty cycle The electric motor is for operating type S1 for continuous operation. When there is an overload, the motor turns it- self off because a winding thermostat is inte- grated in the motor development. After a cool- down period (timing varies), the motor can be turned on again. Hazardous electric connections Insulation damage often occurs on electric connections. Possible causes:

• Pressure marks when connections are guid- ed through windows and doors

• Kinks due to inappropriate attachment or guidance of the connection

• Cuts when the connection is run over

• Insulation damage when being pulled out of the wall socket

• Tears from ageing insulation. Such hazard- ous electric connections must not be used and are dangerous to life due to the insula- tion damage. Regularly check electric connections for dam- age. Make sure the connection is not con- nected to the mains when checking. Electric connections must comply with relevant VDE and DIN stipulations and the local EVE stipula- tions. Only use connections marked H 07 RN. Printing the type designation on the connec- tion is the law. Extension leads up to 25 m in length must have a cross section of 1.5 mm

, at more than 25 m length, it has to be at least 2.5 mm

The mains connection is protected against short circuit with a 16 A slow fuse. Three-phase motor The power voltage has to be 380÷420 V 50 Hz. Mains connection and extension leads have to be 5 core =3 P + N + SL. Extension leads must have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm². The mains connection is protected against short circuit at a maximum of 16 A. When connecting the machine to the mains or changing its position, the rotational direc- tion has to be checked. The polarity has to be swapped, if applicable, using a screw driver (machine socket g. 15). One-phase motor The power voltage has to be 230 V 50 Hz. Connections and repairs to the electrical equipment may be carried out only by a trained electrician. If there are any questions, please provide the following data:

• Data from the electronic control When sending back the motor, always send the entire motor unit with electronic control. Maintenance

WARNING Before working on the power tool itself (e.g. transport, set-up, re-tooling, cleaning and maintenance), disconnect the mains plug from the socket! ■ CLEANING Carry out maintenance, service and repairs as well as malfunctions only when the motor is turned off. Turn the machine off via the off- switch, then disconnect the mains plug! All protective and safety equipment must be re-attached immediately after completing re- pairs and maintenance. Always keep the jointer tables and the thick- nessing table free from resin. The bearings of the cutterblock are permanently lubricated. Warmth occurring when the machine is in a new condition is due to construction and will disappear with time. Clean the feed rollers regularly.

21After the rst 5 operating hours, oil the plain bearings of the feed rollers, the adjustment spindle of the thicknessing table, their bear- ings. Repeat every 20 operating hours with further use. Planing knives The HSS planing knives inserted in the factory are operational and set up correctly. Only well-sharpened and correctly set-up planing knives guarantee safe work. We recommend: Always keep a second set of new planing knives ready for replacement. Replacement planing knives are available from your stockist. Inserting planing knives g. 16

When inserting, be aware that

• there is a risk of injury to ngers and hands.

• the clamping areas in the cutter and the v- ledges are cleaned.

• the sharpened planing knives are oiled.

• only knives re-sharpened in sets are used.

• inserting the planing knives and v-ledges is carried out according to the gure.

• the planing knives, knife supports and v- ledges are ush with the cutter on both sides.

• the clamping screws are tightened (8.9 N/m). Warning! The details concerning knife attachment, knife protrusion, knife width, min. clamping length and ideal tightening torque of the knife mount- ing screws have to be complied with exactly. Setting up the planing knives g. 16a, b, c

• The HSS planing knives are inserted in the factory and set up correctly. If required, you can re-do the settings or rene them as described.

• Adjust one planing knife after the other.

• Set the position of the planing knife using the setting screws alternatively until the blade of the knife touches both perfectly trimmed boards (used as adjustment gauge) which are placed on the unloading table.

• Set the loading table to a dressing height of 2 mm.

• Rotate the cutterblock until the knife has reached the maximum height.

• The planing knives are positioned on the head of the setting screws in the slot of the cutterblock. Let the knives touch the boards by unscrewing the setting screws with an Al- len key.

• Align the knife support and check the posi- tion of the knives again.

• Checking the knives Put a trimmed board (adjustment gauge) on the unloading table and mark the position of the board. By turning the cutterblock in the cutting direc- tion by hand, the knife blade should move the board by x = 2 to 3 mm. Carry out this check for every knife on the operating side and on the other side. Without careful settings, the trimming cannot be exact.

• Tighten the pressure screws on the v-ledge with a at spanner (8.9 N/m).

• Adjust all planing knives in the same way and clamp them.

• Carry out a test-run after every knife re- placement and tighten the pressure screws afterwards (8.9 N/m). Before using the cutterblock, check if the in- structions above were followed. Before turning on the machine, the general safety notices must be observed. Sharpening of planing knives Blunt planing knives increase the risk of acci- dents and the performance is no longer guar- anteed. Re-sharpen the planing knives only up to a knife height of 16 mm. The cutting angle of the knife should be 40 ± 2 degrees. For re-sharpening, take the planing knives to an authorised sharpening company or send them back to the manufacturer.
