Safety Devices

Anti-kickback lock
28
The anti-kickback lock (28) 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 under-
side.
− All anti-kickback fingers must auto-
matically return to their rest position
(downwards).
Cutterblock guard extrusion
The cutterblock guard extrusion
vents the rotating cutterblock from being
touched from the top when surface plan-
ing.
− After loosening the lock lever the
cutterblock guard
adjusted to the work piece width.
− With the setting lever
block guard extrusion is adjusted to
the work piece height.
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
cutterblock guard extrusion.
Chip chute
30
When thickness planing the chip chute
(29) serves as cutterblock guard.
Swing the chip chute (29) up over the
cutterblock and secure in position with
the left clamping lever (30).
