REQUIREMENTS
Planer/moulder can be used in rooms with temperature range from -15
o
C to +40 C. Ventilation must be
mechanical and in accordance with standards.
The planer/moulder must be connected to a dust/chip extractor. Extractor must be turned on when the
machine is working.
for the dust extractor specification.
SAFETY DISTANCE
WARNING!
Other than the operator, no one should be within 3 meters
of the planer/moulder's sides or 8 meters from the in and out-feed
sides during operation. Mark risk area on the floor.
TIPS:
An extended infeed table is practical and prevents anyone coming into the risk area.

Machine description
The Wood-Mizer planer/moulder is designed for straight and profiled planing of wooden elements used
for the production of wooden houses and other construction elements used in building industry and
garden programs. All other uses of the planer are forbidden.
The MP360 is a planer/moulder that can work four sides of a workpiece in one action. The planer/
moulder is contained in a stable and strong chassis. The table is made of planed cast iron.
The workpiece is fed, lying on the planer table, through the planer by feed rollers. The feed rollers are
driven by a chain transmission with separate motor. The workpiece feed direction is controlled by
adjustable fences and side press rollers.
All cutters are driven by separate motor, using a belt transmission.
Cutters working area is protected by cover with a safety switch.
Another safety switch sits behind the top edge of the cover plate on the infeed side.
A 100 mm (4”) dia. hose is connected to the bottom and side cutters and a 125 mm (5”) dia. hose is
connected to the top cutter.
TABLE SURFACE
Table is made with a highest quality cast. The table surface is specially processed for the highest
precision and the best anti-friction qualities.
When the planer/moulder is new, it requires a breaking-in period until the table gets a slightly shinier
surface to optimize the anti-friction qualities. During this period it is recommended to use a lubricant or
wax on the table.
Using the machine correctly, you will obtain a perfectly smooth surface and a high degree of accuracy.
