8 Safe operation Surface planing and jointing of workpieces up to 75 mm thick 8.1.1 Preparation for surface planing up to 75 mm thickness With the left hand, the guard remaining on the outfeed table is set horizontally up to the planer fence and then raised according to the thickness of the workpiece.
8.1.3 Preparation for jointing up to 75 mm thickness The workpiece is placed against the planer fence and pushed up to the front edge of the infeed table lip with the right hand. With the left hand, the guard is pushed up to the workpiece. The bridge guard should rest on the removal table.
Surface planing and jointing of small cross-section workpieces 8.3.1 Surface planing of workpieces with a small cross-section As with workpieces up to 75 mm thick, the workpiece is fed forward with hands resting flat on it. 8.3.2 Jointing of workpieces with a small cross-section The workpiece is pressed against the planer fence and the table with both hands, e.g.
8.4.2 Jointing of workpieces with a small cross-section The workpiece is pressed against the fence with the left hand, e.g. with a closed fist, and pushed forward with a push stick (see Figure 15). Figure 15: Jointing of short workpieces 8.4.3 Bevelling or chamfering on the planer fence Place the workpiece against the inclined fence with your right hand.
Handling during knife change Disconnect the machine from the power supply during maintenance and repair work and se- cure it against unauthorised restarting! The knife change must generally be carried out in accordance with the operating instructions of your machine. Pay particular attention to the maximum cutting edge protrusion of the knives and the permissible tightening torque for the screws used to secure the planing knives.
