6.The knives are to be adjusted in such a way that they maximally stick out 1 mm under the
folding plate.
The less the excess length of the knives, the less wood will be removed, and the
smoother the surface will get.
Protection from Accidents
The safe state of the machine is to be checked each time before beginning to work. This
applies, above all, for the condition and the safe fit of the knives and the fixing elements.
The machine may not be used if damage is noted.
If the machine is not used temporarily or transported, the engine is to be shut down, or the
chain brake to be activated, so that unintentional actuation of the planing barrel is avoided.
On actuation and operation it is to be observed that nobody is jeopardized and nobody is
staying within the working area of the planer. Splinters flying around are to be anticipated. A
safety distance of at least 10 m to other persons is to be observed.
The machine is to be held tight with both hands at work and a safe stand is to be ensured at
work.
It is to be operated in such a way that emissions are not inhaled as far as possible. Devices
with a combustion engine may not be used in closed rooms.
For checking the V-belt, subsequent clamping, changing the knives and removing
disturbances, the engine must be shut down.
On fueling the machine, the engine must be shut down, it must not be smoked, and there
must be some distance to open fires.
The machine is to be operated with as little noise and emissions as possible.
