Before Starting The Equipment - Scheppach THM850 Originalbetriebsanleitung

7. Before starting the equipment

Before each use, check the following:
• Proper function of the on and off button, incl. the emergency switch (if
available).
• Locked disconnected protective equipment (fig 1a - pos. 3) 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 machine off again. The engine must
come to a standstill within 10 seconds. Otherwise, there is a defect.
• Anti-kick claws (fig. 4 - pos. 25) 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 (25) fall back without hindrance due to their own weight;
• Planing blades (fig. 13 - pos. 24) for signs of damage and to ensure
they are positioned correctly.
The machine may only be used if all these conditions 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 condition 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.
