Thickness Planing - Metabo HC 260 C Instructions D'utilisation

3
Note:
Thickness planing reduces the
thickness 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.

Danger!
Always unplug before servicing!
1. Turn both left and right lock lever
(61) outwards.
2. Loosen lock lever (62) and remove
jointer fence (63).

Note:
For thickness planing the chip
chute (68) serves as cutterblock cover.
The chip chute must activate the limit
switch, otherwise the machine cannot be
started.
7. Raise cutterblock guard extrusion
(66):
− slide it all the way in,
− lower it carefully to provide addi-
tional hold for chip chute and dust
collector connector.

8. If a dust collector is to be used, con-
nect the dust collector connector's
suction port (65) to a suitable dust
collector.
A
Danger!
Some types of wood dust (e.g. oack,
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 volume ≥ 550 m

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.

Thickness Planing

A
Danger!
− Entanglement hazard by the rotat-
ing 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 workpieces at the same time.
In this case feed both workpieces
near the outer edges of the thick-
nesser 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.

Note:
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.
