- Connect the vacuum to the dust collector port Ø60mm (1) with an extraction hose (hose and adaptor not
supplied).
- The chip & dust vacuum must be suitable for the material being worked and should be able to produce an air
speed of approx. 20 m/s across the extraction port area.
8.2 Connect the machine to the power receptacle
- Ensure that the power source to be utilized conforms to the power requirements specified on the product
nameplate.
- When the work area is removed from the power source, use an extension cord of sufficient thickness and rated
capacity. The extension cord should be kept as short as practicable.
- The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power supply corresponds to
the voltage on the rating plate.
- This machine protection is class I: it must be grounded.
8.3 Switching On and Off (Fig 26)
CAUTION!
- Always make sure that the workpiece is not in contact with the cutterhead before switching on the
machine. Failure to heed this warning may cause the workpiece to be kicked back toward the operator and result
in serious personal injury.
- Always keep hands and fingers away from moving blades.
The On/Off switch (11) is located on the left side of the front panel for quick, easy and safe access.
- Press the green button marked "I" to turn the machine on.
- Press the red button marked "O" to turn the machine off.
CAUTION! The cutterhead continues to rotate for a short time after the engine has stopped.
8.4 Operating and handling (Fig 12)
! CAUTION! Always keep hands and fingers away from moving blades.
! CAUTION! The part of the cutterhead not used during machining must be covered by the guard (1).
! CAUTION! Switch off the machine immediately in case of failure. Do not remove chips and splinters from
the tables while the machine is running.
8.4.1 Push stick (Fig 27)
- For safety, ALWAYS use the push stick (32) to guide the workpiece on the tables.
- Place the notch on the edge of the workpiece and hold the push stick handle with an angle of 20° to 30° to the
table.
8.4.2 Planing (Fig 28 & 29)
The planing (or jointing) is intended to level an irregular surface which will then serve as a reference surface (for
thicknessing for example).
The workpiece must rest on top of the infeed table (4), and it is cut on its underside.
- Position yourself on the left side of the machine, out of the path of the workpiece in case of an accidental
kickback.
- Start the machine and wait for the engine to reach full speed.
- Press the workpiece flat on the in-feed table (4) and against the fence (3).
- Using the pusher, slowly and evenly push the workpiece, with light pressure on the table and against the guide,
with the left hand downstream of the cutterhead.
- Guide the workpiece until it has completely passed through.
8.4.3 Thicknessing (Fig 30)
Thicknessing is intended to reduce the thickness of a piece of wood whose one side has been previously planed
flat.
The piece of wood must rest on the thicknesser table (7), and it is cut on its upper side.
This machine is equipped with feed rollers: the piece of wood will be fed automatically.
- Start the machine and wait until the motor has reached full speed.
