SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use blunt blades. Risk of kick-back!
• The cutting block must be completely covered.
• Use a push stick for planing short workpieces.
• For planing narrow workpieces, you should take ad-
ditional safety precautions. The use of transverse
pressing devices and spring covers might be neces-
sary to guarantee safe working.
• The device is not suitable for cutting rebates.
• The kickback safeguard and the feed roller must be
checked regularly.
• Devices equipped with a chip extractor and extrac-
tor hoods should be connected to the corresponding
devices.
The type of material can have an unfavourable ef-
fect on dust formation.
• The device is only suitable for cutting wood and
similar materials.
• When the blade is 5% worn, it must be replaced.
• A missing push stick can lead to hazardous situa-
tions. The push stick should always be kept on the
machine when not in use.
• If small workpieces are inserted by hand, there is an
increased risk of injury. Manufacturer's recommen-
dations for the use of a push stick must be followed.
• Incorrect alignment of protective covers, feed table
or grille can lead to uncontrollable situations.
• Damaged or contaminated workpieces are danger-
ous. Metal parts or splintering material must not be
processed with this device. Risk of injury!
• Place long workpieces on the roller table or other
support device for cutting. Otherwise you could lose
control of the workpiece.
• The machine is only suitable for planing and thick-
nessing
• When working on the machine you should always
wear appropriate protective clothing:
- Hearing protection to protect against hearing
damage,
- A respirator to prevent inhalation of hazardous
dust particles,
30 | GB
- Protective gloves when handling the cutter shaft
and rough materials to reduce the risk of injury
from sharp edges,
- Safety goggles to avoid eye injuries from flying
particles.
• The following situations should be avoided in all cir-
cumstances: Premature interruption of the planing
process (planing cuts that do not cover the entire
length of the workpiece; planing uneven pieces of
wood that do not rest evenly on the feed table).
• Attention! If the mains connection is in poor condi-
tion, there is a risk of short circuits when the device
is switched on. This may also affect other functions
(e.g. the illumination of indicator lights). If faults occur
on the main grid connection, please contact your local
electricity supplier for remedial action and information.
6. Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been met,
some non-obvious residual risks may still remain.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety infor-
mation" and the "Proper use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the operating
button may not be pressed when inserting the plug in
an outlet. Use the tool attachment that is recommend-
ed in this operating manual. This is how to ensure that
your machine provides optimum performance.
• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the
machine is in operation.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot
be entirely eliminated. The following injuries may occur
due to the required course of work:
m WARNING! Risk of injury to fingers and hands by
touching the cutter shaft at uncovered areas, when
changing tools, furthermore they can be crushed by
opening the protective cover.
• Eye injuries
• At the insertion and outlet opening
• Due to hazardous kick-back
• Danger from electricity if the electrical cables have
not been connected correctly.
