IMPORTANT!
It is recommended that a 30mA GFI (Ground Fault
Interrupter) be used.
IMPORTANT!
When starting the machine for the first time, check that
main motor rotation direction is as indicated by the arrow located on
the motor body (fan guard). If the rotation direction is incorrect invert
the phases in the phase inverter in the power socket box). Setting the
phases in the phase inverter correctly will ensure correct rotation
directions of all sawmill motors.
WARNING!
In case of a drive belt break, wait until all rotating parts are
completely stop. Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death.
DANGER!
Use the inspection window to check cutter rotation
direction. To do it, look at the motor fan when planer/thicknesser is
turning on or off. Do not check the cutter rotation direction by touching
the cutter with any tool. Failure to do so will result in serious injury of
death.
BEFORE STARTING:
Check that no tools have been left in the planer.
Check that the cutters can rotate freely before the safety doors are closed.
Review the safety instructions!

Check the rotational direction. Looking from the transmission, the
upper cutter must rotate in the opposite direction to the material feed
direction (to the left).
