12 Controls

12.1Switch Terminal/Electrical Equipment

The raised switch panel can be turned to point towards the operator position for easy access. Turn rotary switch clockwise to start machine, turn coun- ter-clockwise to switch the machine off. To prevent unauthorized use the switch can be blocked with a padlock.

Three limit switches, located behind the thicknesser drive gear cover, pre- vent the starting of the machine if it is not properly set for the planing or thicknessing mode. The limit switches will also switch the machine off if

-the planing beds are swung up

-the chip ejection hood is swung from the cutterblock when thick- nessing

12.2Switch/Overload Protection

The switch is equipped with a no-volt release solenoid (magnetic switch), to prevent start-up after a power failure. If the machine is not connected to the power mains the switch does not engage. In the event of a power failure the machine has to be restarted. In case of an overload of the motor the build-in motor protection relay trips and cuts the power to the motor. If the motor is shut off repeatedly by the overload relay, check machine (motor brake action, blade sharpness, low voltage etc.) A cooling down period of 10 min. is recommended before switching ON again.

12.3Motor Brake

The motor supplied with this machine is equipped with an electro-mechanical motor brake, designed for a long service life. Friction, however, causes the brake pad to wear. If the braking action fades (time to cutterblock standstill exceeds 10 sec.) the motorbrake has to be replaced. The max. permissible number of 10 switching actuation per hour should not be exceeded.

12.4Canting Fence Adjustment

Loosening the ratchet lever (A) al- lows for lateral adjustment of the fence carrier.

After loosening both ratchet levers (B) the fence can be set from the 90° position to the 45° position.

When changing from planing to thick- nessing mode the fence is swung up.
