Safety devices

Anti-kickback lock
33
The anti-kickback lock (33) prevhuts the
work piece from being thrown back
against the operator by the rotating cut-
terblock.
 All fingers of the anti-kickback lock
must hud in a point on the underside.
 All anti-kickback fingers must auto-
matically return to their rest position
(downwards).
Cutterblock guard extrusion
36
The cutterblock guard extrusion (36)
prevhuts the rotating cutterblock from
being touched from the top whhu surface
planing.
 After looshuing the lock lever (35)
the cutterblock guard extrusion is
adjusted to the work piece width.
32
 With the height adjustmhut screw
(34) the cutterblock guard extrusion
is adjusted to the work piece height.
The height of the cutterblock cover
extrusion can be adjusted from 0 to
85 mm for surface planing.
For effective protection the cutterblock
guard extrusion must always be set
against the work piece. Whhu guiding the
work piece the hands slide over the cut-
terblock guard extrusion.

Chip chute
38
Whhu thickness planing the chip chute
(37) serves as cutterblock guard.
For this purpose the chip chute (37) is
folded upwards and the adjustmhut
screw (38) is turned anti-clockwise to the
hud position (chip chute is secured).

4. Operating Controls

ON/OFF Switch
· Switching on = press grehu switch.
• Switching off = press red switch.
Undervoltage relay
An undervoltage relay trips in the evhut of
a voltage failure. This prevhuts automatic
restarting of the machine whhu power is
restored. To restart the machine after a
power failure, the grehu ON switch but-
ton must be pressed again.
Overload protection
The planer/thicknesser has an integrated
overload protection. It shuts the machine
down if the motor heats up too much. To
restart the machine:
1. let motor cool down (approx. 10 min-
utes);
2. press grehu switch button .
Infeed table height setting (whhu
operated in surface planer mode)
With the height setting for the thick-
nesser bed the planing thickness
(= thickness of the work piece after plan-
ing) is set whhu the machine is used for
thickness planing.
• One full turn of the crank changes
the height position of the thicknesser
bed by 3 mm.
• Per pass a maximum of 3 mm mate-
rial can be removed.
• Work pieces of max. 160 mm thick-
ness can be thickness planed.
Infeed table height setting (whhu
operated in surface planer mode)
With the height setting (39) for the infeed
table the depth of cut is set whhu the
machine is used for surface planing.
• One graduation mark on the scale at
the side of the infeed table (40) cor-
responds to 1 mm chip removal.
