9.4.3 Prohibited thickness planing working methods
W
ith the thickness unit, the following working techniques are generally prohibited:
● Thicknessing several workpieces of varying thicknesses (depending on con-
f
iguration).
● Simultaneous planing (the direction of the cutterblock rotation is the same as
the f
eed direction).
● Insert planing (the full length of the workpiece is not machined).
9.4.4 Workpiece dimensions (thickness planing)
W
hen using appropriate auxiliary equipment and observing the safety distances
to the surroundings, there are no limits to the workpiece length.
The minimum workpiece length is determined by the distance between the two
transport rollers. Smaller workpieces can only be processed by using extra tools
(e.g. pushing stick).
Length min. 145 mm
Width max. 254 mm
Thickness min. 5 mm / max. 184 mm
9.4.5 Thickness planing
WARNING
Serious hand injuries / danger of being pulled in
C
ontact with the rotating cutterblock
− Assume the correct working position.
− Never reach into the infeed or outfeed whilst the machine is
r
unning (during the process or running idle).
NOTICE
Large differences in workpiece thicknesses
Damag
e to the infeed rollers
− If machining several workpieces simultaneously, the max. dif-
f
erence in thickness from workpiece to workpiece may only
amount to 1 mm!
WARNING
Risk of injury from workpiece parts
Splinter
ing workpieces when working at a larger depth of cut
− When processing workpieces that are thinner than 10 mm,
onl
y set a small depth of cut (max. 10% of the workpiece
thickness).
− The finished planed workpiece must not be thinner than 5 mm.
