Unpacking
The planer thicknesser is a heavy machine. DO NOT over-exert yourself. while
unpacking or moving the machine. You will need assistance and possibly
powered equipment to move it. Serious personal injury may occur if safe
moving methods are not adhered to.
Warning: Never lift the machine by the planer tables when
unloading as shown in Fig. 8.1. Belt and chains may only be
attached to the stand.
Ensure that lifting gear used has an adequate capacity and the load is
secured against lateral slipping.
Unloading can be performed using a forklift, pallet jack or crane.
Use of the PT107/W Jockey Style Wheel Kit is recommended for transport of
the machine, Fig. 8.2.
Warning: Some metal parts may have sharp edges on them.
Please examine the edges of all metal parts before handling
them. Failure to do so could result in injury.

Cleaning
The unpainted surfaces are coated with a waxy oil to protect them from
corrosion during transport. Remove this protective coating with a solvent
cleaner, de-greaser or white spirit. For optimum performance of the machine,
make sure to clean all moving parts or sliding contact surfaces that are
coated. Avoid chlorine-based solvents as they may damage painted surfaces
should they come in contact with them.
After cleaning it is recommended that Record Power CWA195 Silicone Spray
or wax be applied to the tables to give smooth movement of timber.
Warning: Do not use gasoline or other petroleum-based solvents
to clean with. They have low flash points which make them
extremely flammable. A risk of explosion and burning exists if
these products are used.
Warning: Do not smoke while using solvents. A risk of explosion
or fire exists and may result in serious personal injury.
