1
Danger of drawing in and cutting!
The area around the cutter block is
considered an absolute danger
zone. There is an increased risk of
injury and even death when reach-
ing into this area. There is also an
increased risk of clothing, hair,
watches and jewellery being pulled
in.
1.
Never reach into the Danger Zone 1 when the cutter is
running (see
Figure above).
2.
Always cover the unused part of the cutter block with a
planer guard.
3.
To feed, the hands must lie flat on the workpiece with
fingers closed and thumbs applied. Important: Do not grip
the edges of the workpiece!
4.
Wearing loose clothing, gloves, loose hair, watches and
jewellery is prohibited. Suitable pushing aids must be used
for short, very flat and narrow workpieces.
5.
The operator must always stand in front of the planing &
jointing table. It is forbidden to be in Danger Zone 2 (
Figure above) when the cutter block is running. This ap-
plies equally to the operator and to any helper
2
Risk of kickback!
Risk of injury due to the work-
piece being kicked back or due to
workpieces and workpiece or tool
parts being catapulted away (e.g.
tool breakage).
4.4.1
Working Areas & Protective Measures
•
When planing & jointing, the operator of the machine must generally stand in front of the planing table,
to the right of the cutter block resp. planer guard. It is forbidden to enter the Danger Zone 2 marked in
Figure 2 while the cutter is running.
•
A required helper for workpiece removal must generally stand on the left side of the planing & jointing
table. The helper does not intervene in the machining process, but only removes the finished workpieces.
It is forbidden for helpers to stay on the infeed side or in the danger zone.
•
Any observers must generally remain outside the danger zones. A sufficient distance is prescribed so that
the operator of the machine and any assistant cannot be hindered in their work.
