Before Starting The Equipment; Installation - Scheppach PLM1800 Original Bedienungsanleitung

8. Before starting the equipment

m ATTENTION! Always make sure the device is
fully assembled before start-up!
Before each use, check the following:
• Proper function of the on and off button, incl. the
emergency switch (if available).
• Locked disconnected protective equipment
by gradual opening of every separating protective
equipment to be able to turn the machine off and
checking that the machine cannot be turned on
whenever the protective equipment is open
• Brake
Switch on the machine at the start of work and allow
the machine to reach speed. Now switch the ma-
chine off again. The engine must come to a stand-
still within 10 seconds. Otherwise, there is a defect.
• Anti-kick claws
at least once per shift by a visual inspection to
establish that they are in good working order, for
example, that the contact surface has not been
damaged by impacts and that the anti-kick claws fall
back without hindrance due to their own weight;
• Planing blades
for signs of damage and to ensure they are posi-
tioned correctly.
The machine may only be used if all these condi-
tions are satisfied.
• Use only well sharpened and maintained blades.
Use only blades that are designed for the machine.
• Use pusher wood or sticks which are in perfect con-
dition for machining short workpieces.
• Connect the machine to a dust and chip extractor.
• Check that the stop is secure before starting the
machining work.
• Ensure that you can maintain your balance at all
times. Stand to the side of the machine.
• Whilst the machine is running keep your hands at
a safe distance from the cutting block and from the
point at which the chips are discharged.
• Do not start the planing work until the cutting block
has reached the required speed.
• Also ensure that the workpiece does not contain
any cables, wires, cords or the like. Do not machine
any wood which has lots of knots or knot holes.
• Secure long workpieces to prevent them tipping over
at the end of the planing process. Use roller stands,
for example, or similar devices for this purpose.
• Removing sawdust and chippings from the machine
when running is strictly prohibited.
• Switch off the machine immediately it is jams. Pull
out the mains plug and remove the jammed work-
piece.
• Set the smallest cutting size after use to prevent the
risk of injury.
m CAUTION!
The machine must be secured to the floor / countertop
using suitable screws / screw clamps since otherwise
there is a risk that it will tip over.
• Before you connect the equipment to the mains sup-
ply make sure that the data on the rating plate are
identical to the mains data.
m WARNING! Before cleaning~, adjustment~,
maintenance~ or repair work, disconnect the power
cord from the main power supply!
• Check at regular intervals that the knife is firmly at-
tached in the knife block.
• The knives must not project more than a maximum
of 1 mm out of the knife block.
• Make sure that the anti-kick claws work correctly.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Never cut concavities, tenons or shapes.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the planing knife to run freely.
