Changing The Planer Knives - Metabo DH 330 Originalbetriebsanleitung

ENGLISH
•
Never let petrol, petroleum-based
products, or similar substances
get in contact with the plastic
parts of the machine. These sub-
stances contain chemicals which
may damage, weaken, or destroy
plastics.
•
Remove dirt and wood dust with a
clean cloth.
After each use
•
Remove planing chips and wood
dust from all accessible areas, incl.
the dust extraction connector and/or
the slot in the cutterblock cover (e.g.
with a vacuum cleaner).
•
Clean both infeed and outfeed roller.
Any deposit, which
formed on the rollers, can be
removed with a non-flammable
cleaning agent for rubber rollers.
Periodic cleaning
Soiling of the machine by wood dust or
dirt may be the reason for poorly planed
work pieces. For perfect planing results
the machine should be preiodically
cleaned and the bearing surfaces of the
tables waxed.
1. Unplug power cable.
2. Fold down both infeed and outfeed
table.
3. Unscrew and remove the dust
extraction connector (55) and clean
with a cloth.

4. Unscrew and remove the cutter-
block cover (56) and clean with a
cloth.
5. Remove planing chips (e.g. with a
vacuum cleaner) from:
− height adjustment;
22
− cutterblock;
− motor ventilation slots.
6. Clean guide bars and spindles of the
height adjustment with spray oil
(e.g. WD40), then apply a light film
of medium viscosity machine oil.
7. Replace and fasten the cutterblock
cover (56).
8. Replace and fasten the dust extrac-
tion connector (55).
9. Apply a light coat of wax for better
gliding of the work piece on:
− Infeed table
− centre table
− outfeed table

may have Note:
Apply only a thin coat of wax. Too
much wax may be absorbed by the
wood, causing discolouration.
Tips for lubrication
− Periodically check that guide bars
and spindles of the height adjust-
ment are clean and lightly oiled. Use
a machine oil of medium viscosity.
− The planer knives should also be
given a light coat of oil, to inhibit
rust.
− All bearings in this machine are
lubricated with a high-grade grease.
Under normal operating conditions
this does provide sufficient lubrica-
tion for the entire service life of the
machine. Additional lubrication is
not required.
Cleaning the motor
As long as it is kept clean, the motor
does not require any maintenance.
•
Make sure that on or in the motor no
deposits of water, oil or wooddust
build up.
•
The motor bearings do not require
any lubrication.
