SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
Some wood and wood type products especially MDF (Medium
Density Fibreboard) can produce dust that can be hazardous to
your health. We recommend the use of an approved facemask
with replaceable filters when using and cleaning this machine.
Ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply
before carrying out any adjustments or maintenance.
Before turning the machine on for the first time ensure that the
blades are installed correctly.
Allow the machine to run up to full speed before commencing
any planing.
Observe the machine for excessive vibration.
This could indicate a poorly installed blade or out of balance
cutting head.
Never leave the machine running while unattended.
Always allow the machine to come to a complete stop and
disconnect from the power supply before leaving the machine
unattended.
Always wear safety goggles when operating the planer.
Never use the machine without the safety guards in position.
Never make passes greater than 2.5mm in depth.
Ensure that the work piece is free from any nails or other foreign
objects that could damage the planer blades. Do not use work
pieces that are: shorter than 355mm, narrower than 19mm or
wider than 254mm or less than 25mm thick.
Never insert your fingers into the dust chute for any reason
while the machine is in operation. The cutting blades revolve
at very high speeds.
Position yourself by the side of the machine in such a way that
the operation can be carried out without having to over reach or
reposition during operation. Install the machine on a stable level
surface before operation.
LOCATION
WARNING! This machine should not be used “free standing”.
When deciding on a suitable location for this machine
consideration must be given to the maximum length of material
to be planed. There should be enough clearance to allow the
work piece to be fed into the machine safely and sufficient
clearance at the out feed end of the machine to allow the work
piece to be removed safely. This machine must be mounted on
a solid stable workbench using 10mm hex Nuts and Bolts of a
suitable length to ensure secure fastening to your workbench
(Pic.2).
ASSEMBLY (PICS.3&4)
Attach the height adjustment handle to the pin on the top cover
of the machine and tighten the crosshead bold (Pic.3). Ensure
that the in feed and out feed rollers are positioned correctly
and are free to rotate (Pic.4). If auxiliary support rollers are to
be used, they should be positioned at the correct height, and
approximately half the length of the material being planed, away
from the in feed and out feed side of the machine e.g.. If the
material being planed is 3 mtr long, the auxiliary support rollers
should be positioned 1.5 mtr from the in feed and out feed side
of the machine.
STARTING AND STOPPING (PIC.5)
NO VOLTS EMERGENCY STOP SWITCH
This machine is fitted with a “No Volts Switch”. In the event of
a mains power failure or if the mains plug is removed from the
mains supply socket before the machine is switched off. The
machine will not re-start without warning when the mains supply
is restored or the mains plug is re-connected to the mains
supply, until the machine is switched ON at the ON/OFF switch
fitted to the machine. The switch is also fitted with an emergency
stop cover. To start the machine, lift the emergency stop cover
(Pic.5) (5.1) and press green the ON button (Pic.5) (5.2). To stop
the machine, press the red OFF button (Pic.5) (5.3). In the event
of an emergency, hit the emergency stop cover (Pic.5) (5.4),
this will switch the machine OFF and will mechanically lock the
emergency stop cover in place preventing the machine from
being switched on until the mechanical lock has been released.
