ENGLISH
Operation without a dust collector is only
advisable:
− outdoors;
− for short-term operation
(up to a maximum of 30 minutes);
− when wearing a dust respirator.
If no dust collector is used chips will built
up inside the machine housing, and on
the planer knives in particular. These
built-up chips cause the planed surface
to become rough. Therefore the chips
need to be removed periodically.
A Danger!
The rotation of the cutterblock
causes the chips to be blown through
the slot in the cutterblock cover.
A
Caution!
The slot of the cutterblock
cover or an installed dust extraction
connector must not be blocked by
objects placed in the path of ejected
chips.

A Cutting hazard when touching
the rotating cutterblock!
Accidental starting of the machine
may cause serious injury.
Unplug power supply cable before
installing the dust extraction connec-

•
Operate this machine in dry sur-
roundings only.
•
Operate the machine only on a
power source meeting the follow-
ing requirements (see also "Tech-
nical specifications"):
− outlets
properly
earthed, and tested.
− mains voltage and system fre-
quency conforming to the volt-
age and frequency shown on
the machine´s rating label;

Note:
Check with your local Electric-
ity Board or electrician if in doubt
whether your house service connec-
tion meets these requirements.
•
Position power supply cable so it
does not interfere with the work
and is not damaged.
•
Protect power supply cable from
heat, aggressive
sharp edges.
•
Use only rubber-jacketed exten-
sion cables of sufficient lead
cross-section (see
specifications").
•
Do not pull on power supply
cable to unplug.

7. Operation

A
Danger!
•
This machine may only be oper-
ated by one person at a time.
Other persons shall stay only at a
distance to the machine for the
purpose of feeding or removing
stock.
•
Use personal protection gear:
− dust respirator;
− hearing protection;
− safety goggles.
•
Before starting work, check to
see that the following are in
proper working order:
− power cable and plug;
− ON/OFF switch
− cutterblock cover
− push stick.
•
Assume proper operating posi-
tion when thicknessing:
− at the front of the machine;
− to the side of the infeed table;
− when working with two per-

If the type of work requires, use
the following:
installed, − work piece support (e.g. roller
− push stick (feeding aid) – for

•
Avoid typical operator mistakes:
− Do not exceed the specified
− Do not jam the work piece.
Before planing a work piece
Test the machine when idling:
1. Fold down both infeed and outfeed
