Surface Planing And Edge Jointing; Thickness Planer Mode - Metabo HC 260 C Instructions D'utilisation

ENGLISH
7. Crank the thicknesser bed carefully
up to secure the dust collector con-
nector in position.
8. Connect a suitable dust collector to
the suction port of the dust collector
connector.

Note:
The dust extractor hood must be
mounted. The dust extractor hood cov-
ers the knife shaft from below and must
activate the limit switch to enable the
machine to be switched on.
A
Danger!
Some types of wood dust (e.g. oak,
ash) may cause cancer when inhaled:
When working indoors work only with a
suitable dust collector connected to the
machine:
− Fitting the outer diameter of the
suction port (100 mm);
− air flow volume ≥ 550 m
− vacuum
at suction
machine ≥740 Pa;
− air speed at suction port of
machine ≥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.
6.2 Surface Planing and
Edge Jointing
A
Danger!
− Risk of serious personal injury by
rotating cutterblock!
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.
− Never reach with your hands
under the cutterblock cover when
guiding the work piece!
20
− Use a feeding aid (push block)
when planing small workpieces,
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 glid-
ing of work pieces across the
infeed and outfeed table.
1. Assume proper operating position:
− on the switch side;
− head-on to the machine;
2. Set jointer fence as required.

Note:
Always
The machine can remove 3 mm
maximum in a single pass. This meas-
ure, 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.

Place work piece against jointer
fence (if required, use auxiliary
fence).
Adjust cutterblock guard extrusion:
− Planing small edges (jointing):
Slide the cutterblock cover extru-
sion (57) from the side against
the work piece – the spring (58)
at the end of the cutterblock
cover extrusion should be slightly
depressed.

− Planing wide surfaces:
Lower the cutterblock
extrusion (59) from above onto
the work piece.

Start motor.
Feed work piece straight across the
infeed table holding your fingers
close together, guiding the work
piece with the palm of your hands.
Exert downward pressure on the
work piece only in the infeed table
area.
Switch machine off if no further
thicknessing is to be done immedi-
ately afterwards.
