2. INSTALLATION
Mount machine on a solid foundation, preferably a concrete floor. The machine area should be clean, dry well ventilated, and well lighted.
Since planers can create noise problems, the site selection should be one which minimizes reverberant sound from walls, ceilings and other
equipment. Electricals should be installed so that they are protected from damage and exposure. Be sure to properly ground the machine
frame.
3. PREPARTION FOR OPERATION
3-1 Inspection
A.
Clean protective coating form all areas and lubricate parts.
B.
Before putting power on the machine, check that all screws are tight, that all mechanical functions work freely and that the cutterhead
turns freely without knife contact with the chipbreaker& pressure bar, periodic or regular inspections are required to insure that the
machine is in proper adjustment, that all screws are tight, that belts are in good condition, that dust has not accumulated in the electrical
enclosures, and that there are no loose or worn electrical connections.
3-2 Power source wiring
A.
Check the motor and switch wiring diagram for proper voltage connections before applying power to the machine.
B.
Connection wires both with electric connection box and power source, the earth wires also must be connected. (green line)
C.
After wire connection is complete, turn the main drive motor on momentarily to check for proper direction of rotation.
D.
Run the machine without cutting for a short period of time to check that all powered functions are operating properly.
3-3 Lubrication
Supply oil to all the necessary position.
3-4 Safety
A.
Grounding of the planer: Make certain that the machine frame is electrically grounded.
B.
Eye safely: Wear an approved safety shield, goggles, or glassed to protect eyes when operating the planer.
C.
Personal protection: Before operating the machine, remove, tie ring, watch and other jewelry and roll up sleeves above the elbows.
Remove all loose clothing and confine long hair. DO NOT WEAR GLOVES.
D.
Work area: Keep the floor around the machine clean and free of scrap material, sawdust, oil or grease and tools before starting a cut.
Make certain the work area is well lighted and that a proper exhaust system is used to minimize dust. Provide for adequate work space
around the machine.
E.
Guards: Keep the machine guards in place at all times when the machine is in use. If removed for maintenance purpose, use extreme
caution and replace the guards on completion of the maintenance task before using the planer. DO NOT OPERATE THE MACHINE
WITH THE GUARDS OFF.
F.
Do not over reach: Maintain a balanced stance and keep your body under control at all times. Do not over reach.
G.
Maintain tools in to condition: Keep tools sharp and clean for safe and best performance. Dull tools increase noise levels and can cause
kickbacks and glazed surfaces. Broken tools or tools that are not securely locked in the cutterhead can be thrown out of the planer
causing severe of fatal injury as severe damage to the machine. Check the condition and adjustment of the tools before marking and any
cuts.
