Before Starting The Equipment; Assembly - Scheppach HMS1070 Translation From The Original Instructions

7. Before starting the equipment

Before each use, check the following:
• Proper function of the on and off button, incl. the
emergency switch (if available).
• Locked disconnected protective equipment (Abb
1a - pos. 3)
by gradual opening of every separating protective
equipment to be able to turn the machine off and
checking that the machine cannot be turned on
whenever the protective equipment is open
Brake
•
Switch on the machine at the start of work and allow
the machine to reach speed. Now switch the ma-
chine off again. The engine must come to a standstill
within 10 seconds. Otherwise, there is a defect.
Anti-kick claws (Fig. 4 - pos. 25)
•
at least once per shift by a visual inspection to estab-
lish that they are in good working order, for example,
that the contact surface has not been damaged by
impacts and that the anti-kick claws (25) fall back
without hindrance due to their own weight;
Planing blades (Fig. 13 - pos. 24)
•
for signs of damage and to ensure they are posi-
tioned correctly.
The machine may only be used if all these condi-
tions are satisfied.
Use only well sharpened and maintained blades.
Use only blades that are designed for the machine.
Use pusher wood or sticks which are in perfect con-
dition for machining short workpieces.
Connect the machine to a dust and chip extractor.
Check that the stop is secure before starting the
machining work.
Ensure that you can maintain your balance at all
times. Stand to the side of the machine.
Whilst the machine is running keep your hands at
a safe distance from the cutting block and from the
point at which the chips are discharged.
Do not start the planing work until the cutting block
has reached the required speed.
Also ensure that the workpiece does not contain any
cables, wires, cords or the like. Do not machine any
wood which has lots of knots or knot holes.
Secure long workpieces to prevent them tipping over
at the end of the planing process. Use roller stands,
for example, or similar devices for this purpose.
Removing sawdust and chippings from the machine
when running is strictly prohibited.
Switch off the machine immediately it is jams. Pull out
the mains plug and remove the jammed workpiece.
Set the smallest cutting size after use to prevent the
risk of injury.

m CAUTION!
The machine must be secured to the floor / coun-
tertop using suitable screws / screw clamps since
otherwise there is a risk that it will tip over.
• Before you connect the equipment to the mains
supply make sure that the data on the rating plate
are identical to the mains data.
m WARNING! Before cleaning~, adjustment~,
maintenance~ or repair work, disconnect the
power cord from the main power supply!
• Check at regular intervals that the knife (24) is
firmly attached in the knife block.
• The knives (24) must not project more than a
maximum of 1.1 mm out of the knife block.
• Make sure that the anti-kick claws (25) work cor-
rectly.
• Always wear eye protection.
• Never cut concavities, tenons or shapes.
• All covers and safety devices have to be properly
fitted before the machine is switched on.
• It must be possible for the planing knife to run
freely.

8. Assembly

8.1 Parallel stop (Fig. 2)
• Now unscrew the Allen screws (17/18) counter-
clockwise using the Allen key (14).
• Now attach the parallel stop (5) to the machine
housing and fasten it using the Allen screws
(17/18).
8.2 Crank handle for thickness planer chip depth
(Fig. 3)
• The crank handle (10) will be only plugged on the
spindle (19)
8.3 Chip extractor - surface planing (Fig. 4-6)
• Set the planing knife cover cpl. (13) in the upperst
position.
• Use the crank handle (10) to place the Thickness-
ing table (21) in the lowest position.
• Take the chip extractor (4) and hold the switching
pins (3) beside. Place the chip extractor (4) at a
slightly slanting angle on the machine and push it
backwards. For this you need to hold the switching
pins (3) outwards.
• Now lock the chip extractor (4) with the switching
pins in the table. Attention! The machine won´t start
if the switching pins are incorrectly plugged in.
• Screw in the screw (32) from the other side of the
machine to secure the chip extractor (4).
• Now you can fold the planing knife cover cpl. (13)
down again.
8.4 Chip extractor - thickness planing (Fig. 11)
• The parallel stop (5) needs to be removed for thick-
ness planing. Follow point 8.1 in reverse order.
• Now slide the planing knife cover (7) beside so
that the cutter block is completely uncovered.
• Hold the switching pins (3) outside and set the
chip extractor (4) on top of the machine.
