Virutex CE53S Mode D'emploi page 8

especially designed for the recessing and flushing of:
woods, varnished woods, stratified woods, softwoods
and synthetic materials.
For maximum performance, the selfsame weight
of the machine is the only pressure that should be
applied; do not force it, which will reduce its speed
and output.
• Cutterblock equipped with mechanical brake system.
6. STARTING AND STOPPING
THE MACHINE
This edge lipping planer is equipped with an upwardly-
engaging safety button that prevents the machine
from being started up accidentally.
To start up the machine, press down on the safety
button Z (Fig. 1) while simultaneously depressing the
power button A1.
Before plugging in the machine, ensure that the
power supply voltage is compatible with that stated
on its specifications plate, and that the cutterblock
guard is properly attached.
BRAKE FOR CUTTERBLOCK
The planer comes equipped with a mechanical centri-
fugal brake that reduces the time taken from switch
disconnection to stopping the cutterblock down to
less than 10 seconds.
For your own safety, should you notice that more
time is needed to stop, have the brake replaced at a
VIRUTEX technical service outlet.
7. CUTTING ADJUSTMENTS
FLUSHING HEIGHT
Unscrew knob A (Fig. 1) in the counter-clockwise
direction until reaching the end of the thread. Spin
the wheel B to raise or lower the cutterblock, adjusting
it to the necessary flushing height.
After setting the flushing height, screw on the knob
A in the clockwise direction until it becomes firmly
tightened in place.
8. SIDE GUIDE
The side guide C (Fig. 1) enables flushing by following
the edge of the board. It can be set using knob D and
then tightened using.
9. DUST COLLECTOR CONNECTION
The machine is equipped with a dust collector con-
nection F (Fig. 1) which can be used for connection
to our AS182K, AS282K, AS382L and ASC482U dust
collector or any industrial equivalent via the dust
8
collection connectors ref. 6446073 of 3.5 m or
1746245 of 5 m.
The dust collector connection F (Fig. 1)
must never be set up on the machine if
no collector is used. This would prevent
the free ejection of chips.
10. REPLACING AND
CONTROLLING THE BLADES
Disconnect the equipment from the
mains before carrying out this ope-
ration.
1. REPLACING BLADES AND
BLADE HOLDERS
To replace blades or reverse them in order to use the
second cutting edge, follow the steps below:
Loosen the two fastening screws G (Fig. 2) in the
clockwise direction using the service key.
Turn the cutterblock casing to a suitable position so
that the blade H can be lined up with the groove I of
the guard, so as to have enough space to move and
laterally remove the blade from its housing in holder J.
Remove any dust and resin from the seats of the
cutterblock and supports before inserting new blades.
Replace the old blade with a new one, or with the
same blade reversed, using its second cutting edge.
Reinsert the blade in the recess of the blade holder J
(Fig. 3), ensuring that the blade H and its holder J do
not protrude out from the side of the cutterblock P.
Securely tighten the two screws G (Fig. 2) in the
counter-clockwise direction using the service key.
If it is necessary to replace the blade holders J of the
cutterblock, loosen the 2 screws K (Fig. 4), unscrew
the screw L and remove the cutterblock guard M,
which will leave the blade bearings J in view.
2. ADJUSTING BLADES
AND BLADE HOLDERS
Blade holders are regulated before leaving the factory
and do not require readjustment when changing the
blade. Nonetheless, if for any reason they have to be
adjusted, do so as follows:
Using the knob A and the wheel B (Fig. 1 and 6),
align and block the surface of the base N (Fig. 5) with
the cutting edge of the blade in the best condition,
which will used as a reference.
In the event that blade holders or blades become
