- The risks involved in working with the machine;
- The operating principles, the correct usage and adjustment of the machine;
- The safe handling of the parts to be processed;
- The position of the hands in relation to the cutting tools;
- Storing the workpieces safely before and after machining them.
STABILITY
To be able to use the machine safely, it is essential to place it stable on the ground.
ADJUSTMENT AND INSTALLATION
Disconnect the machine from the power supply before every adjustment.
The recommendations of the machine manufacturer must be followed when adjusting and installing
the tools.
The tools must be correctly sharpened and installed.
The use of specialized equipment, such as tool setting gauges, is only allowed when the machine is
stopped.
HANDLING OF TOOLS
To avoid severe cuts, safety measurements, such as the wear of safety gloves, must be taken when
handling planer knives or other tools you are using in your workshop. Even blunt tools can cause
serious injuries to your hands!
NORMAL USE
The machine is designed for processing wood and is equipped with protective devices for this work
only.
Where the risks from the use of work equipment cannot be adequately controlled by measures, such
as guards or protection devices, during its normal operation, it is particularly important that only the
people whose task it is should be allowed to use such equipment. They should have received
sufficient information, instruction and training to enable them to carry out the work safely.
REDUCTION OF NOISE – DUST EMISSION
The condition of the tools is important to minimize noise levels.
The material and the positioning of the protectors must be such that they reduce the level of noise.
The use of personal protective equipment should not be an alternative to what is mentioned above. To
achieve the sound values the use of protections and resources provided on the machine is necessary.
This also applies to dust emissions and means that the machine is connected to a facility under
vacuum air flow measured on the machine at the extraction opening to at least 20 m/s.
ADJUSTMENT OF PLANER FENCE
The guide must always be used for the planing and training to achieve a correct and safe guiding of
the workpiece.
An auxiliary guide should be used as often as possible for the work of small thickness. When
the manual advance, a push at the end of the past must be used in association with the
protector.
Support stand and roller trestles should be used to support long pieces.
For chamfering, a solid support must be provided either by a special template or the inclined
adjustable guide. Pushers must be used for the end of the machining.
Protection appliances such as jigs, workpiece holders, push-sticks etc. should be stored in a safe
place to minimize the risk of damage and should be regularly checked to ensure that they are fit for
safe use
