4. SAFETY RULES
Attention!
The Ferox 320 floor planers are constructed according to existing safety rules and regulations.
These technical precautions should not be removed or changed under any circumstances. While ope-
rating the machines the following points should also be kept in mind:
1. The planers should always be operated with all safety covers and technical precautions.
2. The operator should never leave the machine during operation.
3. Before leaving the machine, all rotary parts should be brought to a standstill. The electric mo-
dels must be disconnected from the mains. Make sure that the machine cannot roll or move by
itself.
4. After maintenance and adjustment all safety covers must be reattached.
5. If the noise level exceeds 90 dB(A) ear protectors must be worn.
In the event of a large amount of dust during operation connect a dust collector to the planer.
5. OPERATING
After mounting the appropriate tools, the operation of the planer can begin. The lever of the height
adjustment (Appendix diagram No. 97 and 99) has to be in the upper position before the machine
is switched on. The hand wheel of the height adjustment must also be turned anti clockwise as far as
possible.
Switch the motor on. Lower the planer with the lever to the operating position. Turn the hand wheel of
the height adjustment until the tools are lowered to the floor and until you achieve the required finish.
Attention! Lowering the tools too much decreases the performance of the machine. You will
also destroy the shafts in the drum and the bearings of the machine.
