Metabo HC 410 Installation, Connection to Power Mains, Direction of Rotation, Dust Collection

7.2Installation

The machine must be installed on a firm and level floor. Adjust feet until planing beds are level. All four feet must evenly rest on the floor to prevent rocking.

7.3Connection to Power Mains

-Check if voltage of power mains matches with voltage stated on machineÕs type plate (400 V 50 Hz ±5%).

-This machine must be operated on a residual current device (RCD) of 30 mA capacity , having a fault current breaker.

-The outlet this machine is connected to must be earthed and each phase protected by a 16 A time-lag fuse or circuit breaker. A minimum conductor crossection of 2.5 mm2 is required.

-This machine must be safety earthed. The yellow/green lead is the earth conductor. If a plug matching your local standard outlet is fitted to the power cable, do not connect the earth lead to one of the current conducting leads.

-Do not operate this machine with a damaged power cable. Risk of electrical shock.

7.4Direction of Rotation

Important! The direction of rotation of the cutterblock must be against the feed direction. It is factory set on single-phase machines. On machines equipped with a three-phase motor, start machine briefly to check direction of rotation. To change, turn phase inverter pins in plug by 180° with screwdriver.

7.5Dust Collection

If this machine is operated indoors for more than 30 minutes a day it must be connected to a dust collector (the dust of oak and beech is classified as cancer causing). The dust collector this machine is connected to must provide for a minimum air flow rate of 16 mtr/sec.

The dust collection port of the dust chute has a nominal diameter of 100 mm.
