2. Safety
2.1 General rules of safety
①Do not operate the machine before reading earnestly throught and fully
understand the operation manual. The person who operates the machine must be
very familiar with the adjusting contents, adjusting procedures and safety rules.
②To make proficient with specialized trainning before operating.
③Please pay attention to the warning symbols on the machine and abide by the
rules.
④To avoid wrapping in working, workers should have their hair and sleeves
bound. No loose coat, gloves and jewelry allowed while working.
⑤Unrelated person is not allowed to stay around the running machines.
⑥Do not stand in front of the infeed and outfeed directions to avoid unexpected
injury from the rebound and spring of workpieces.
⑦Do not raise the feeding device while processing the logs, or else the
workpieces might be loosened and do harm to human and machine.
⑧Do not take away any of the protected covers while processing, neither adjust
the wind-tubes, feeding wheels and side pressure wheels.
⑨Do not clean the chips while the machine is running, for fear that dangers might
cause.
⑩Do not try to stop the spindles by hands or other things, let the spindles stop
automatically by pushing the stop button.
⑪Spindle nuts must be tight enough to avoid loosen. Check manually if the
spindles can rotate freely before machine starts.
⑫Daily check of the safety devices before machine starts is necessary, to
eliminate hidden troubles.
⑬Please make sure that the power is off and the machine is completely stopped
befor adjusting, matain the machine and installed cutter blocks.
⑭The maintenance and maintain of machine tools shall be done termly by
qualified personnels, and the work of power system can only be done by
qualified electricians.
⑮Protected gloves are needed while installing or changing cutter blocks to
prevent harming from sharp edge of knives.
⑯Safeguards for eyes and ears are needed while working. (Noises of machine
tool is no higher than 85dB）
⑰Ensure the neatness and roominess of working locality. Any of the impediments

would be effected on operation，and hidden troubles lurking.
⑱Do not remove safety devices, limit switches of cover interlocks and other
switches, and ensure the validities.
⑲While observing and checking the equipments (herein the equipment shall be
stopped and cannot be started up), the runner must ensure the selection switch is
switched to “test”, and others cannot change the state position without
permissions.
⑳Power must be off while romoving and checking the electricity.
○,21 Press any of the emergency stop buttons to stop the machine when there
are emergencies.

2.3 Correct use of machine tool
①The processing range of workpieces only limit to the data of technical parameters. Do not use
if the data overruns.
②Do not process the timber with nail or concrete.
③The cutter tools must be made in accordance with EN847-1 manufactured saw blade and
milling cutter
④Check the locking state of cutter blocks before operating the machine. Let the machine run
with nothing for at least 5 minutes to inspect running state, to get rid of obstructions in time.
⑤Lay the timber onto the infeed table and push hardly to the guiding fence one by one.
⑥To avoid spring of workpieces, adjust the height of infeed wheels matching the height of
workpieces, and ensure enough feeding power.
⑦Do not change speed when the machine is stopped, in case of causing damage to the machine.
⑧Press emergency stop to examine and repair when trouble comes out.
⑨Let the machine run with nothing to clean up the chips after processing.

5.2 Main technical parameters TABLE 3
NOTE: The cutter tools must be made in accordance with EN847-1 manufactured saw blade
and milling cutter to configure cutters and set the speed for the chief shaft. When an
overweight cutter block with oversized diameter operating at high speed is adopted, unallowable
vibration will be caused, which is not in accordance with the safety requirements.
