9.1HC 410

Planing/Jointing

The max. permissible workpiece size is 1700 x 410 mm when using the standard machine tables. If workpieces of greater length are to be worked additional support is required, e.g. by using roller stands. The smallest size for manual feeding by hand must not be less than 300 X 40 X 20 mm. Smaller workpieces must be fed with a suitable push block.

Thicknessing

The maximum workpiece size is 1700 x 405 x 230 mm. For longer work additional support (roller stands) is required. Minimum size is 250 x 15 x 5 mm.

9.2Stock Pre-Checking

Every workpiece must be checked for possible flaws, to see if it is suitable for planing/thicknessing (warping, knots, cracks, inclusions of foreign material), before it is worked.

Caution! Do not work stock with loose knots or knots which may fall out easily.

- The knots coming off may be thrown about, with a risk of personal injury and damage to the machine.

10Dangerous Operations

-With this planer/thicknesser no set-in work must be carried out. Set-in work is a planing operation where the planing starts or stops short of one end of the workpiece.

-Do not attempt to plane heavily warped stock, which does not rest with its full length on the planing tables.

11Push Blocks and Feeding Fixtures

1)Handles dowelled and glued to prevent metal making contact with the planer blades.

2)Underside of push block faced with sandpaper or soft rubber, for better contact and guiding of the workpiece.

3)Use narrow, two-handed push block for short, narrow and thin stock. Glue a piece af hardwood across the push block serving as stop.
