3.1 Chip Extraction Hood
A chip extraction unit is supplied as a standard feature of this machine, and guidance for its use
is as follows:
For Surfacing
The hood is designed to sit on the
thicknessing bed, and should be inserted
hollow side up, with the exhaust outlet
below the fixed outfeed table. The lug
on the underside of the hood, attached
to the exhaust outlet, should locate
against the end of the thicknessing bed,
with care being taken that the anti-
kickback fingers are not fouled when
the bed is wound up.
For Thicknessing
Position the fence to the rear of the
surfacing table. Place the hood centrally
over the cutterblock, hollow side down,
with the exhaust outlet pointing toward
the in-feed table rise and fall handle.
Bring the bridge guard down over the
hood and lock it in position between the
two welded straps.
The diameter of the connection point is 125/150mm and reducers are not recommended
.

4.0 Electrical Installation
All electrical wiring should be carried out by a fully qualified electrician and in
strict observance of the safety instructions.
Please follow these directions when connecting to the mains:
The motor and control gear have been wired in at the factory and tested before despatch. It
is prohibited to open the switch box on the machine without the express authorization of the
manufacturer. Violating this stipulation could invalidate the machine’s warranty. All that is
required is to connect the power supply to the ISOLATOR box on the machine stand.
First check that the supply details on the motor nameplate correspond with the site supply. If
the motor is operated on a voltage outside (plus or minus 6%) of the spot voltage, then
premature failure will occur.
