Installation And Connection - Elektra Beckum TopLine DH 315 Operating Instructions Manual

Installation and connection

Fixing the planer
To keep the machine from „wandering" by vibra-
tions or from tipping over, it needs to be screwed to
a workbench, workstand or similar support:
1. Drill four holes into the support.
2. Fit screws through holes from the top and
secure from below with washers and nuts.
3
If the planer/thicknesser is to be used
mobile:
- screw the planer to a sheet of 19 mm ply-
wood. This plywood sheet should on all
sides project approx. 100 mm over the
machine base. Make sure that the bolts do
not project from the underside of the ply-
wood sheet.
- At the workplace, attach the plywood
sheet with G-clamps to a workbench,
workstand or similar support.
Installation of the rise and fall mecha-
nism crank
· Place crank on the shaft and secure with a
screw.
Connection of a dust collector
A
Danger!
Some kinds of wooden dust (e.g. from oak
and ash) can be carcinogenic when inhaled.
Always connect to a suitable dust collector
(air speed at the planer's dust collection port
³ 20 m/s) when working indoors.
A
Caution! Operation without a dust collector
is only possible:
- outdoors;
- if only small amounts of chips are produ-
ced (with narrow stock and only slight chip
removal);
- with a dust mask.
4
If no dust collector is used there is chip build-
up inside the housing, particularly at the cut-
ter knives. These remains cause a rough
surface. Therefore the chips need to be
removed regularly.
A
Danger!
Always unplug before removing the cutter-
block cover!
1. Unscrew both screws and remove the cutter-
block cover from the planer.
2. Fit dust extraction adaptor instead of the cutter-
block cover and secure with two screws.
3. Connect the suction port to a suitable dust col-
lector.
