Here you are
explained exactly what to do.
Normal intended use
The surface planing and thicknessing machine is only
intended for use in household and hobby areas. It is
designed for surface planing and thicknessing of solid wood.
Compliance with admissible work piece dimensions is
compulsory (see Technical data). For thicknessing, the
contact area of the work piece must be flat.
The surface planing and thicknessing machine is not suited
for outdoor use.
Only workpieces which have been securely mounted and
aligned can be processed.
For safe working the machine must be securely fixed on the
floor on which it is placed (see ”Installation”).
This surface planing and thicknessing machine is not suited
for cutting recesses, mortise tenons or other shapes.
The intended usage also includes compliance
with the
operating, servicing and repair conditions
prescribed by
the manufacturer and following the safety instructions
included in the instructions.
The relevant accident prevention
regulations for the
operation as well as the other generally acknowledged
occupational medicine and
safety rules
must be complied
with.
Any other use is deemed not to be intended use. The
manufacturer is not liable for any type of damage resulting
from this:
the user bears the sole risk.
Unauthorised modifications on the surface planing and
thicknessing machine will exempt the manufacturer from any
liability for damages of any kind resulting from it.
The surface planing and thicknessing machine shall only be
assembled, used and maintained
by persons who are
familiar with it and instructed about the risks. Repair works
may only be carried out by us or by a customer service agent
nominated by us.
This machine must not be used in an explosive environment
or exposed to rain.
Metallic parts
(wires etc.) have unconditionally to be
removed from the material to be planed or thicknessed.
Residual risks
Even if used properly, residual risks can exist even if the
relevant safety regulations are complied with due to the design
determined by the intended purpose.
Residual risks can be minimised if the “Safety instructions” and
the “Normal intended use” as well as the whole of the operating
instructions are observed.
Observing these instructions, and taking proper care, will reduce
the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Risk of injury on fingers and hands by touching the blades on
non-covered areas.
Risk of injury on fingers and hands when changing tools.
Squeezing of fingers when opening the guards.
Throwback of the workpiece or workpiece parts.
Risk from electricity, by using non-standard electrical
connections.
Touching live parts of opened electrical components.
Impairment of hearing when working on the machine for
longer periods of time without ear protection.
Emission of harmful wood dust when working without
shavings exhauster or shavings bag.
In addition, in spite of all the precautionary measures taken,
non-obvious residual risks can still exist.
Safe working
Woodworking machines can be dangerous if not used
properly. If electrical tools are used, the fundamental safety
precautions must be met to preclude the risks of fire,
electric shock and injuries to persons.
Before starting this device, read and keep to the following
advice. Also observe the preventive regulations of your
professional association and the safety provisions
applicable in the respective country, in order to protect
yourself and others from possible injury.
Pass the safety instructions on to all persons who work
with the machine.
Keep these safety instructions in a safe place.
Make yourself familiar with the equipment before using it, by
reading and understanding the operating instructions.
Do not use the machine for unsuitable purposes (see
“Normal intended use”).
Mount the machine on a non-slip and level surface (risk of
tipping). Make sure that the table plates are horizontally
levelled.
Avoid abnormal posture. Provide a safe standing position
and keep at any time the balance.
Be attentive. Be careful what you do. Behave sensibly when
working. Do not use the device when you are tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol or medicaments. One moment
of carelessness when using the device can result in serious
injuries.
