Danger! Electrical Hazard.
Operate in dry environment only.
Operate machine only on a power
source matching
requirements (see also "Technical
Specications"):
− Fuse protection by a residual cur-
rent operated device (RCD) of
30 mA sensitivity;
− Outlets properly earthed;
− 5-wire three-phase outlets with
neutral lead.
− When a dust collector is used it
must also be properly earthed.
Position power supply cable so it
does not interfere with the work and
is not damaged.
Protect power supply cable from heat,
aggressive liquids and sharp edges.
support
Use only extension cables with a suf-
ficient lead cross section.
Do not pull on power supply cable to
unplug.

Check direction of rotation!
(machines with 3-phase motor only):
Depending onthe
the cutterblock may turn in the wrong
direction. This can cause damage to
the machine and work piece. It is
therefore necessary to check the
direction of rotation after initial com-

Surface planing is used to level
an uneven surface (= jointing), for exam-
ple the edges of a plank.
− The work piece rests on top of the
infeed table.
− The work piece is cut on the under-
side.
− The feed direction for the work piece
is exactly opposite than that for
thickness planing.
