Figure 4: Nameplate Technical Features General: • 1100 mm long machine table with finely planed cast iron surface and the typical features of the proven PANHANS surface planers & thicknessers. • Two suction nozzles for optimum extraction in both operation modes.
Emission Levels 5.3.1 Noise Information The values given are emission levels and therefore do not necessarily represent safe workplace values. Alt- hough there is a correlation between emission and immission levels, it cannot be reliably deduced whether additional precautionary measures are necessary or not. Factors that may affect the current immission level at the workplace include the duration of exposure, the nature of the workspace, other noise sources, etc., e.g.

Installation and Connection Check Delivery Conditions Check the consignment for completeness and possible transport damage. In case of transport damage, please keep the packaging and inform the shipping company and the manufacturer immediately! Later complaints cannot be accepted. Transport The machine is delivered on a transport pallet and is bolted to the bottom of the pallet.
It is essential that the machine is level! Check with spirit level! Dispose of the packaging material in an environmentally friendly way! Do not use nitro thinner for cleaning. Painted surfaces of the machine can be damaged. Fire hazard! Do not smoke and do not light an open fire. Temporary Storage If the machine is not put into operation immediately after delivery, it must be stored carefully in a protected place.
Connecting the Extraction Unit • The machine must be connected to an effective extraction system on-site. • The suction nozzle has a diameter of 160 mm. • All parts of the extraction system, including hoses, must be included in the earthing meas- ure.
Electrical Connections The connection must be carried out by an authorised electrician! The electrical circuit diagrams are located in the control cabinet. Please observe the specified nominal voltage 400 VAC / 50 Hz (3 phases / N / PE)! • The supply cable is inserted through the cable gland at the bot- tom of the main switch housing.
