*Numbers within parentheses refer to the list of components
and the overall view on pp.7-9.
If used incorrectly, the PH 2660 can cause serious injury.
Always be focused and careful when using the machine.
Never stand behind the work piece when it is being fed into
the machine. The board can be hurled out of the machine. Also
knots, splinters or pieces of steel can be hurled out with great
force. Always stand at the side of the in-feed table.
Only one work piece at a time may be fed through the
machine. The work piece must be of a length of at least 600
mm (24 inches).
Make sure that the machine is set up so that the feed rollers
(3*) take a rm hold of the work piece. Do not feed into the
machine work pieces that are so conical that the feed rollers
risk losing hold.
Never place your hands or tools above or beneath the machine
table while the machine is running.
Before starting the machine:
- Make sure that no other person besides the operator is within
the safety distance (see p.5).
- Make sure that all cutters can rotate freely, and that no tools
or loose parts are left inside the machine.
- Make sure that all knobs, screws, nuts, fences, knife
clamping gibs, cutter heads, knives, protective covers, in-
and out-feed tables, etc. are rmly tightened/attached.
Safety Instructions
For your own safety, do not begin working
with the machine before having read and
understood the entire manual. Do not let
anyone who has not read the instructions use
the equipment.
Risk of cutting injuries. Use protective gloves
when handling the knives. It is especially
important that you wear gloves when loosening
or tightening the lock screws for the knives and
the fences (as there is a risk that you slip with
the spanner).
Use approved hearing protectors. Hearing
can be impaired after only a short exposure
to high-frequency sounds. Use approved eye
protectors. Splinters and wood pieces can be
hurled out with great force.
Warning! Cutting tools. Never stick hands or
tools above or beneath the machine table
or in the chip outlets while the machine is
running.
This symbol means “WARNING”. Pay extra
attention when this symbol appears in the
text.
This symbol is followed by an admonition. Pay
extra attention when this symbol appears in
the text.
- Make sure that the machine runs in the correct direction:
seen from the left side of the machine the in-feed roller
should rotate clockwise. If the machine is not running in the
correct direction, change the direction by rotating the white
plastic disc in the connection plug with a at screwdriver.
- Make sure that the cover is properly closed, that all chip
hoses are mounted, and that you have switched on the chip
extractor.
In this manual, the phrase ”disconnect the power” means
that you shall stop the machine, pull out the power cable with
the CEE plug, which supplies the machine with electricity, and
place it so that no unqualied operator can connect it to the
machine. The cable shall also be placed so that you cannot
tread or trip on it.
Disconnect the power to the machine by pulling out the
plug, and wait for the cutter heads to stop before:
- opening the cover to change planing/moulding knives, or to
clean or carry out any other operation above or beneath the
machine table.
- replacing belts or performing any other servicing or
cleaning.
- moving the machine.
- leaving the machine unsupervised.
Risk of re and dust emission when collecting wood debris.
Chip hoses and a chip extractor must be connected to the chip
outlets of the machine, and be fastened in a reliable way, e.g.
with hose clamps. Take necessary measures to prevent re in
the chip collecting equipment.
The machine must be equipped with in- and out-feed tables of
a length of at least 1 metre (3.28 ft) each.
Do not wear loose-tting clothing or anything else that can get
caught in the machine’s moving parts. If you have long hair you
should put it up in a reliable way.
Never use the machine in poor visibility conditions. Always work
in good lighting.
Do not use the machine under the inuence of alcohol or other
drugs.
Keep the work site tidy. Do not leave anything you can trip over
lying on the ground.
Never put your hands or any tools on the machine table while
the machine is running.
Never stick your hands or any tools in the chip outlets until you
have made sure that the power to the machine is disconnected
and the cutters have stopped.
Do not climb onto the machine.
Do not tread on the machine’s power cable. The cable should
be secured off the ground.
Place the machine so that the emergency stop is not blocked.
For the greatest electrical safety, a residual circuit breaker
should be tted.

If a castor set is tted to the machine: Make sure the oor is
at and level. Make reliable barriers between the machine and
differences in oor level or inclined oor surfaces, to prevent the
machine from accidentally beginning to move due to gravity.
The machine must not be modied or added to. Only use original
parts from Logosol. After servicing, the machine must be
restored to its original condition.
The machine may not be used in temperatures below 0°C
(32°F).
The machine’s warning labels are there for everyone’s safety.
Damaged or illegible labels must be replaced.
Moving the machine: The machine must not be lifted manually.
In the upper edge of the machine chassis there are four 32
mm holes intended for lifting straps. The machine can also be
lifted with a fork-lift truck or a pallet lift. In this case the machine
should stand on and be strapped to a Euro pallet. For moving
the machine on at and level oors Logosol can as accessory
provide a castor set (ref. no. 7500-000-1025) to be tted under
the chassis. If the castor set is tted to the machine, reliable
barriers must be made between the machine and differences in
oor level, such as stairs or inclined oor surfaces, to prevent the
machine from accidentally beginning to move due to gravity.
Risk of kickbacks.
Never stand behind the work piece when it is being fed into
the machine. The board can be hurled out of the machine.
Also knots, splinters or pieces of steel can be hurled out with
great force. Always stand at the side of the in-feed table.
Minimum length of the work piece: 600 mm (24”).
Acquaint yourself with all functions and setting possibilities
before starting to use the machine.
Safety Distance
The safety distance for persons other than the operator is 3 m (10
ft) from the sides of the machine or 8 m (26 ft) from the in- and
out-feed sides during operation. Use some kind of demarcation
so that no one can unintentionally come within the risk area.

Machine Description
PH 260 is a panel planer/moulder that processes the work piece
on four sides.
The machine is enclosed in a sturdy frame made of 4 mm (0.15”)
sheet steel. The machine table and the carriage for the moveable
side cutter are made of cast iron.
Supported by the machine table, the work piece is fed through
the machine by three feed rollers and one out-feed roller. These
feed rollers are run via a chain transmission with a separate
motor. The work piece is laterally guided by adjustable fences
and pressure rollers.
The machining of the wood is made by an upper cutter and a
lower cutter that are suspended at both ends, and two side cut-
ters that are tted in the machine table. All the cutters are run
by separate motors via belt transmission.
The cutters and the feed rollers are covered by a raisable pro-
tective cover with clear plastic windows. The protective cover
is equipped with a safety switch. An additional safety switch is
placed behind the upper edge of the safety ap on the in-feed
side. Each of the cutter heads has a 100 mm (4”) duct for chip
extraction.
Setting up the PH 260
Inspect your PH 260 immediately on reception. Any transport
damage must be notied immediately to the freight company.
As most of the machine’s structure is protected against rust, it
can stand in unheated storage spaces. However, extra main-
tenance is then required in the form of lubrication of parts that
are not rust protected (see Maintenance).
- Place PH 260 on a rm and level oor. If a castor set is not
used, the machine should preferably be screwed to the oor
through the holes in the bottom of the chassis.
- Make sure that there is free room on the in- and out-feed
side for the longest boards that are to be planed, and that
there is space provided for servicing and board stacks.
- Connect the four chip hoses, and fasten them with hose
clamps both on the planer end and the chip extractor end.
- Fix the machine’s power cable to the ceiling or protect it in
some other way. Never tread on the cable. The machine
should be connected via a residual circuit breaker.
- Ensure the lighting is rst-class. You should have good main
lighting, and also have a powerful lamp above the machine.
Ensure that there is no risk of being dazzled by the light.
Planer Shavings Collection
PH 260 must be connected to a chip extractor with a capacity
of at least 2500 m3/h. Logosol has a suitable 400 V, 3-phase
chip extractor of 3 kW with a no-load ux of 4000 m3/h (ref. no.
7000-000-2030). This extractor has four inlets with a diameter
of 100 mm (4”), and an outlet of 200 mm (8”). The chip extractor
has no chip collection bag, since such a bag should get full too
quickly. Instead you should build a chip pocket, or blow the
wood debris directly into a trailer or the like. Bear in mind that
there has to be an air outlet in your chip container (e.g. a ne-
meshed net, or a lter if you collect the wood debris indoors).
Poor extraction capacity is often due to a too limited air ow out
of the chip container. If you keep the machine in a heated room,
the chip extractor will soon cool the room if you do not direct the
air back into the facility.
Dust emission and risk of re have to be taken into consideration
when collecting wood debris.
Risk of re and dust emission when collecting wood
debris.
Consult your local authority about the regulations in your
district.
- Connect the chip hoses, and fasten them with hose
clamps both at the planer end and the chip extractor end.
Use the Flexi Hose from Logosol (length: 3 m, ref. no.
7000-000-1015), which has a smooth inside improving the
ow.
- If you want to convey the wood debris a long way, you should
place the chip extractor close to the planer so that you can
use as short hoses as possible. Convey the wood debris
in a sheet metal pipe, which reduces resistance for the air
ow.
Place the chip extractor so that its power switch is easily
accessible.
