Maintenance and cleaning
Before each maintenance and cleaning work
−
switch off device
−
wait until the machine comes to a stop.
−
pull out power plug
Maintenance and repair work other than those described in this
chapter is only allowed to be carried out by service staff.
For maintaining and cleaning, removed security devices must
unconditionally be mounted properly and proved again.
Use only original parts. Other parts can result in unexpected
damages and injuries.
Cleaning
Observe the following to maintain the operability of the
machine:
Do not wash down device with water.
Remove splints and dust only with a brush or vacuum
cleaner.
Slightly spray maintenance spray or dry-film lubricant on the
height adjustment device of the thicknessing table.
Take care that the
feed rollers remain free of rust and
resin
.
Remove
resin residues
from the
table plate surfaces
.
Resin residues can be removed with a commercial
maintenance and care spray.
Apply a thin film of sliding wax on the feed, delivery and
thicknessing table plates.
Regularly remove resin from the blade shaft and from the
parts attached to it. For this purpose put the clamping
device, the blade holders and the blades into paraffin,
gasoline or commercial resin remover for 24 hours.
Carefully shake out the shavings bag. Manually wash it in
case of heavy soiling but at least once a year with a mild
soap solution.
Maintenance
The
cutting blades
are wearing parts and will become dull after
longer or frequent use
.
If so, replace the cutting blades or have them sharpened.
Regrinding of cutting blades is only allowed to a height of
15 mm.
Always use cutting blades which are approved for the machine
(see “Technical data”).
Replace or sharpen both cutting blades together.
Before replacing or sharpening the cutting
blades unplug the machine.
Danger of cutting! Wear gloves when replacing the
cutting blades.
Replacing the cutting blades
1.
Adjust the guide plate (13) to 90° and slide it beyond the
edge of the table plate.
2.
Loosen the locking lever (46) and push the blade shaft
guard off from the table plate.
3.
Screw in the clamping screws (34) using the delivered open-
end spanner (32).
G1

G2
If the nuts are not visible, carefully turn the blade shaft (47)
using a waste wood block.
4.
Remove the blade (33).
G3
5.
Clean all parts including the blade slots in the blade shaft.
6.
Reinstall a new or sharpened blade.
7.
Align the blade:
-
Place the setting gauge (53) for the cutting blades onto
the delivery table plate.
-
Firmly press the gauge onto the delivery table plate while
making sure that the edge of the setting gauge is flush
with the edge of the delivery table plate.
G4
-
Then, the setting gauge presses the blade in its correct
position.
-
Retighten the clamping screws.
When doing so start in the centre and move outwards.
8.
Replace also the other blade of the blade shaft.
9.
Push the blade shaft guard over the blade shaft.
Maintenance of the gearbox
Perform the following steps approx. every 50 operating hours:
1.
Remove the gearbox cover (48).
2.
Remove wood dust and shavings using a vacuum or a
brush.
3.
Slightly spray maintenance spray on the roller chain (44)
and on the bearings of the belt roller and pulley.
Do not use grease.
4.
Re-mount the gearbox cover.
Transport
Remove mains plug before each transport.
Before any transport make sure that the blade shaft guard
fully covers the blade shaft.
This will avoid injury by the blades.
Two persons are required to lift the machine.
