Safety devices

Anti-kickback lock
33
The anti-kickback lock (33) prevents the
work piece from being thrown back
against the operator by the rotating cut-
terblock.
 All fingers of the anti-kickback lock
must end in a point on the underside.
 All anti-kickback fingers must auto-
matically return to their rest position
(downwards).
Cutterblock guard extrusion
36
The cutterblock guard extrusion (36) pre-
vents the rotating cutterblock from being
touched from the top when surface plan-
ing.
 After loosening the lock lever (35)
the cutterblock guard extrusion is
adjusted to the work piece width.
 With the height adjustment screw
32
(34) the cutterblock guard extrusion
is adjusted to the work piece height.
The height of the cutterblock cover
extrusion can be adjusted from 0 to
85 mm for surface planing.
For effective protection the cutterblock
guard extrusion must always be set
against the work piece. When guiding the
work piece the hands slide over the cut-
terblock guard extrusion.

Chip chute
38
When thickness planing the chip chute
(37) serves as cutterblock guard.
For this purpose the chip chute (37) is
folded upwards and the adjustment
screw (38) is turned anti-clockwise to the
end position (chip chute is secured).

4. Operating Controls

ON/OFF Switch
· Switching on = press green switch.
• Switching off = press red switch.
Undervoltage relay
An undervoltage relay trips in the event of
a voltage failure. This prevents automatic
restarting of the machine when power is
restored. To restart the machine after a
power failure, the green ON switch but-
ton must be pressed again.
Overload protection
The planer/thicknesser has an integrated
overload protection. It shuts the machine
down if the motor heats up too much. To
restart the machine:
1. let motor cool down (approx. 10 min-
utes);
2. press green switch button .
Infeed table height setting (when
operated in surface planer mode)
With the height setting for the thick-
nesser bed the planing thickness
(= thickness of the work piece after plan-
ing) is set when the machine is used for
thickness planing.
• One full turn of the crank changes
the height position of the thicknesser
bed by 3 mm.
• Per pass a maximum of 3 mm mate-
rial can be removed.
• Work pieces of max. 160 mm thick-
ness can be thickness planed.
Infeed table height setting (when
operated in surface planer mode)
With the height setting (39) for the infeed
table the depth of cut is set when the
machine is used for surface planing.
• One graduation mark on the scale at
the side of the infeed table (40) cor-
responds to 1 mm chip removal.
