Safety
Tools
We recommend that braking motors (optional) be used to avoid spindles, tools and the
feed system from coasting when shut off. This considerably reduces the risk of injury
on tools and feed rollers as they run down.
Spindle brakes are naturally subject to wear and tear. It is therefore imperative to check
and service the brakes at regular intervals. The machine must not be started up until all
faults have been remedied.
The cutting edges on the tools are very sharp and can cause injury even when at a
complete stop. Tools must therefore be treated with great care. Keep away from
moving cutters when the machine is running.
Note the minimum clamping lengths of regrindable planing knives (refer to the
Instruction Manual for the tools). Profile and planing knives must not protrude beyond
the cutterhead body at the sides. Do not use any cracked or deformed tools.
The spindles, their contact surfaces and the spacer rings must be cleaned before
inserting the tools. Tools must always be fitted with safety collar.
When using saws they should be fitted on the lower spindle whenever possible (the
cutting pressure forces the workpiece onto the table). Check that the tools are seated
correctly.
The spindle nuts must be tightened securely so that they cannot work loose by
themselves.
The spindles must be turned by hand before starting in order to check whether they
rotate freely.
Always beware of collisions with the feed roll when adjusting the left-hand spindle.
Spindle adjustments must not be undertaken while tools are rotating.
The following points must be noted when using tools with aluminium core:
• Aluminium tools must not be heated to more
than 120 °C during operation or when cleaned.
• Only solvents which do not corrode the aluminium may be used to clean and
deresinify the aluminium tools.
• Tools which have been heated as a result of cleaning in a washing machine or in any
other way must be allowed to cool before being fitted. The tool clamp may be
released or reduced as the tool shrinks when cooling.
WEINIG cannot assume any liability for injuries or damage due to misconduct or non-
compliance with these safety instructions.
Further information on accident prevention is available on request from your local
employers’ liability insurance association.
