ENGLISH
Check regularily:
Bolts and connection loose
On/OFF Switch functioning?
Safety components in proper condition?
Tools sharp?
Lubrication:
Protect the table against rust with regular
applications of light oil.
Add some grease onto the ways of the
sliding table.
Check every month the condition of the
V-belt. Check for cracks and glazing.
Avoid the V-belt and pulleys to become
dirty or greasy - this could cause belt slips
during operation.
You should replace at least once a year
the V-belt.
6. TROUBLESHOOTING
No faults should occur while the machine
is used correctly and maintained duly. If
the exhausting hose is blocked with chips,
the machine should be switched off before
handling. If a workpiece becomes jammed,
turn off the machine immediately!
A blunt knife often causes that the elec-
tric motor becomes heated excessively. If
the machine vibrates excessively, check
its setting and anchoring, possibly also
clamping and balancing of the tools used.
Problem:
Machine does not start
Possible Cause and Solution:
1.Fuse blown or circuit breaker triggered.
Replace fuse and/or reset circuit breaker.
2. power cord damaged - Replace it.
3. Microswitch activated - Check if belt
change access door is closed properly!
Problem:
Overload kicks out frequently
1. Extension cord, power supply cord not
dimensioned adequately! - Replace!
2. Too high material feed rate - Reduce
feed rate, adjust to machine output per-
IMPORTANT
!
Before performing any checks:
Disconnect the machine from the power
supply to avoid the danger of uninten-
tional machine start up.
formance.
3. Cutter head is dull - Replace cutterhead
knives, use only sharp cutters!
4. For 400V Motors: Phases might be
switched or motor does not receive full
power through one phase. - Let a certified
electrician check your power plug, power
socket and cable.
Problem: Cutter does not come up to full
speed
1. Inadequate/Volatile power source
- Contact your electric power provider
2. Extension cord too long /to small mm²
- Let this be checked and solved by a cer-
tified electrician.
Problem: Cuts are unsatisfactory
1. Dull cutters - Replace cutters
2. Debris, gum, pitch on cutter edge
-Clean remove.
3. wrong combination of Cutter, Feed rate
and spindle speed
Problem: Machine vibrates
1. Cutterhead damages - Replace
2. machine stands on uneven surface
Stand must be solidly on level, hard, vi-
bration-free surface. Bolt to floor for ad-
ditional vibrations reduction.
3. defective V-belt - Replace
4. V-belt tensioned incorrectly - tension
correctly (not to hard and not loose)
5. Bent/damaged pulley - May occur if belt
tensioned too hard - Replace pulley
Problem: Spindle does not raise freely
Sawdust or dirt in raising mechanism-
Clean the raising mechanism.
Problem: Edge splits on cross grain cuts
1. Cutting technique - Make cross grain
cut first, then finish off with grain direc-
tion cut + support end of cut with scrap
woodblock.
Problem: Raised areas on shaped edge
1. Variable pressure applied by operator
on workpiece during cut - Feed constant-
ly, adjust fences and guide rail properly.
Problem: cutting depth not uniform
1. Fence misalignment-alignoutfeed fence
2. Side pressure onto workpiece not uni-
form - Guide workpiece with constant
pressure against fence
Problem: work burns
1. Too deep cutting per one pass - Espe-
cially for hardwood take light cuts and at-
tain full depth with several passes. Do not
force the work, feed moderately slow and
steadily.
