A
Cutting hazard when touching
the rotating cutterblock!
•
Always keep your hands well clear
of the cutterblock.
− Use suitable feeding aids, if nec-
essary.
− Keep sufficient distance to driven
components when operating the
electric machine.
− When in operation, do not reach
into the dust collector or the cut-
terblock cover.
•
To
prevent
accidental
always turn the machine OFF:
− after a power failure,
− before unplugging or plugging in.
•
Do not operate the machine without
all guards installed.
•
Wait until the cutterblock has come
to a complete stop, before removing
jammed parts or small cutoffs,
chips, etc. from the work area.
A
Cutting hazard, even with the
cutterblock at standstill!
•
Wear gloves when changing planer
knives.
•
Store the planer knives in a safe
place and in such a manner that
nobody can get hurt.
c
Drawing-in/trapping hazard!
During thicknessing the work piece is
automatically drawn into and transported
through the thicknessing machine.
•
Always make sure that no body
parts or objects can be drawn into
the machine together with the work
piece. Do not wear neckties and
also no gloves and no garments
having wide sleeves. Contain long
hair with a hairnet.
•
Never attempt to thickness any work
pieces which contain
− ropes,
− strings,
− cords,
− cables or
− wires, or work pieces to which
any of the above are attached.
A
Risk of injury by work piece
kickback (work piece is caught by the
rotating cutterblock and thrown back
against the operator)!
•
Always use sharp planer knives.
Blunt planer knives may get caught
in the surface of the work piece.
•
Do not jam work pieces.
•
Do not work work pieces which are
shorter than 14 inch (356 mm).
•
If in doubt, check work piece for
inclusion of objects (e.g. nails or
screws).
•
Never thickness several work pieces
at the same time. Risk of personal
injury if individual pieces are uncon-
trolled caught by the cutterblock.
•
Remove small cutoffs, scrap, etc.
from the work area – when doing so,
the cutterblock must be at standstill
and the power cable unplugged.
•
Ensure that when turning ON (e.g.
after servicing) no tools or loose
parts are left on or in the machine.
A
Hazard generated by insuffi-
starting,
cient personal protection gear!
•
Wear hearing protection.
•
Wear safety glasses.
•
Wear dust mask.
•
Wear suitable work clothes.
•
When working outdoors wearing of
non-slip shoes is recommended.
Risk of injury by inhaled wood
A
dust!
•
Some types of wood dust (e.g.
beech, oak, ash) may cause cancer
when inhaled. Whenever possible,
use a dust collector attached to the
thicknessing machine. The dust col-
lector has to comply with the specifi-
cations
Specifications".
•
When working, minimize the amount
of wood dust escaping from the
machine into the environs:
− remove wood dust deposits in the
work area (do not blow away!);
− fix any leakages on the dust col-
lector;
− ensure good ventilation.
A
Hazard generated by modifica-
tion of the machine, or use of parts
not tested and approved by the manu-
facturer!
•
Assemble machine in strict accord-
ance with these instructions.
•
Use only parts tested and approved
by the manufacturer. This applies
especially to all safety devices (see
spare parts list for stock numbers).
•
Do not change any parts.
A
Hazard generated by machine
defects!
•
Keep machine and accessories in
good repair. Observe the mainte-
nance instructions.
•
Before any use check the machine
for possible damage: before operat-
ing the machine all safety devices,
protective guards or slightly dam-
aged parts need to be checked for
proper function as specified. Check
to see that all moving parts work
properly and do not jam. All parts
contained
in
"Technical
ENGLISH
must be correctly installed and meet
all conditions necessary for the
proper operation of the machine.
•
Never use the machine when the
power supply cable is damaged.
Risk of personal injury by electric
shock. Have a damaged power sup-
ply cable replaced by a qualified
electrician immediately.
•
Damaged protection devices or
parts must be repaired or replaced
by a qualified specialist. Have dam-
aged switches replaced by a service
centre. Do not operate the machine
if the switch cannot be turned ON or
OFF.
