7. Make sure that the work environment is forbidden to children, non-employees and
animals.
8. Do not perform tasks on the machine other than those for which it was designed. Only
use the machine in the manner in which it was intended, as described in this instruction
manual.
9. Work without disturbances.
10.Work areas must be well lit.
11.Always wear eye protection and protective gloves while working. If dust is produced,
use the appropriate masks.
12.Wear appropriate clothing. Loose clothing, dangling jewellery, long hair, etc.., can get
caught in the moving parts, causing irreparable injury.
13.Replace worn and/or damaged parts, check that the guards and protection devices work
properly before operating. If necessary, have the machine checked by the service
support personnel. Use only original spare parts.
14.Cut the mains voltage supply to the machine when:
the machine is not being operated;
is left unattended;
you are performing maintenance or adjustment because the machine does not
work properly;
the power cable is damaged;
you are replacing its tool;

status according to Legislative Decree no. 81/08.
2.2 Special safety rules for planers
1. The use of accessories or devices other than those recommended in this instruction
manual and may pose a risk to the safety of the operator.
2. Repairs may only be carried out by qualified and authorised personnel.
3. Do not use the machine if the protection devices are not in their designated position
and correctly adjusted.
4. Do not use blades which are not sharpened because this increases the risk of rejection
(return back) of the workpiece.
5. Each section of the cutting / cutter block which is not used for planing, should be
protected.
6. When planing short and narrow pieces, use a tool to push it.
7. Do not use the machine to make grooves.

2.3 Safety regulations regarding electrical machine-tools
Risks associated with the use of the machine
1. Do not modify the electrical system in any way. Any attempt in this regard may
jeopardize the operation of electrical devices, thus causing malfunction or accident.
2. Work carried out in the electrical system of the machine must, therefore, be carried out
only by qualified and authorized personnel.
3. If one hears unusual noises, or feels something strange, immediately stop the machine.
Then carry out an inspection and, if necessary, perform any repairs as required.
1. Ensure supply voltage complies with the label and technical specifications (230 V / 50
Hz).
2. It is necessary to use a device for the automatic interruption of the power supply in
case of failure, which is to be coordinated with the machine's electrical system. For
more detailed information, contact a trusted electrician.
3. The mains power outlet should be bipolar grounded (10/16 A, 250 V), extension cables
must have sections that are the same or greater than the sections of the power cable
of the machine.
4. The power supply cable (and its possible extension cable) should never come in contact
with hot objects, sharp edges, wet or oiled surfaces.
5. The power cord should be checked regularly and before each use to check for signs of
damage or wear. If these are not in good condition, replace the cable.
6. Do not use the power cord to lift the machine or to remove the plug from the socket.
2.4 Technical support
For any problems or concerns, please contact, without hesitation the Customer Service
Department of your dealer, who has competent and specialized staff, specific equipment and
spare parts.
2.5 Other provisions
IT IS FORBIDDEN TO TAMPER WITH SAFETY DEVICES
The first thing to do when starting work is to check for the presence and integrity of the
protections and the operation of the safety devices.
If any defect is encountered do not use the machine!
Even more so, it is strictly forbidden to modify or remove guards, safety devices,
labels and indication signs.

4 DESCRIPTION OF THE MACHINE
The COMBINED PLANER AND THICKNESSER (Art. 0749) is a machine designed to plane a
surface and give a piece of wood one predetermined thickness.
When planing, the piece of wood is pushed forward over the cutterhead and the lower surface
is planed. The thickness removed is adjustable by adjusting the feed table height.
When thicknessing, the lipping planing tables must be overturned, the wooden piece rests on
the height adjustable table of the planer and advancing under the cutterhead, the top surface
is scraped.
The machine is designed for processing wooden planks.
Other types of use, or the extension of use beyond that envisaged, does not
correspond to the designation attributed by the manufacturer, and therefore the
latter cannot accept any responsibility for any damage resulting therefrom.
Intended use and materials
The machine was designed and manufactured for a specific use, different uses and non-
compliance with technical parameters established by the Manufacturer may be
hazardous to the operator.
In particular, with regard to the type of material, DO NOT use the machine for non-
wood materials.
The Planer consists of:
main frame;
input and output tables of the lipping planer, thickness planer table, foldable guide;
electric motor and its pull rollers;
three cutterhead blades (cutting tool);
on and off buttons and thickness adjustment devices.
Refer to paragraph 4.1 of this manual to view the different parts of the machine in detail.
The motor works at constant speed: there is no rotation speed adjuster.
The Planer must be installed and used on a flat, stable surface of adequate
resistance.
The Planer is designed and intended for use in enclosed workplaces (production departments,
warehouses, etc.).
Optimal machine performance can only be attained under specific environmental conditions:
operating within the temperature range - 5 to + 40°C;
relative humidity from 30% to 95%, non-condensing;
height above sea level max. 1000 m.
The environment must also be sufficiently illuminated so as to ensure operation in maximum
safety (at least 200 lux is recommended).

4.4 Suction system
The Planer must be connected to a dust suction device before each use. The suction device
must have an air flow with a minimum speed of 20 m/s for dry shavings. The diameter of the
suction hose coupling should be about 10 cm.
The suction hose must be connected to the suction nozzle as follows:
1. Configured planer for "lipping" planing: the nozzle is positioned laterally, below the
piece output table;
2. Configured planer for "thickness" planing: the nozzle is tilted to cover the cutterhead,
and is stuck into the stop device
It is important to respect the environment: dispose of any shavings in compliance with
current legislation.

6 SAFETY DEVICES ON THE MACHINE
6.1 Electrical safety devices
In the event of malfunction or breakdown, the PLANER is equipped with power cable and plug
with grounding conductor, which provides a path of least resistance for electric current and
reduces the risk of electric shock.
The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, earthed in accordance with current
regulations. The power cord should be at least 1.5 mm thick with reinforced insulation (e.g.
HO7), and at least 2.5 mm thick if it has a length exceeding 10 m. Extension cords must be
of a section equal to or greater than that envisaged for the power cord of the machine.
Electric shock
Improper connection of the machine’s grounding conductor can result in the risk of electric
shock.
Check with a qualified electrician if you don't understand the grounding instructions
or if you have any doubts about grounding the machine.
6.2 Safety devices against "mechanical" risks
6.2.1 Protective casing of the motion transmission components
The protective casing prevents the operator's body parts, particularly hands and/or fingers,
from coming into direct contact with the transmission components of the machine, when it is
activated.
Casing Position Check
Each time the Planer is used, check that the protective casing is perfectly positioned and
securely fixed.

6.2.2 Planer shaft guard (cutting tool)
The planer configured for "lipping" has two cutterhead guards and precisely, a front "bridge"
guard (ref. A in Figure 13) and a rear protection consisting of the support bracket of the side
guide (ref. B in Figure 13).
Figure 13 – Cutterhead guards.
These guards prevent splinters or fragments of pieces that may come loose, from
being thrown into the operator's face, but above all are to prevent the the operator
from coming into direct contact with the rotating cutting tool.
Both of the guards are equipped with fixing and adjustment knobs, to adapt the guard to the
dimensions of the workpiece.
Repair Control
Each time the Planer Art. 0749 is used, check that the protective cutterhead guards are
perfectly positioned and securely fixed.
