1.1 Intended use
1.2 General safety instructions
Weinig tools are designed and built exclusively for use in Weinig planers and moulders.
All further uses are deemed to be non-conforming.
Unprofessional and non-conforming use of the tools can impair the operator's safety
and is therefore prohibited. Note the national regulations (EU Directives).
Note the brochure "Safety". It contains further instructions concerning the intended use
and safe operation.
Weinig cannot accept any liability for damage and losses due to non-conforming use of
the tools. The risk of accidents, damage or losses is borne exclusively by the user in
such cases.
The instructions and rules contained in the operating manual must therefore be noted
without fail. All local safety and accident prevention regulations must also be observed.
Weinig cannot accept any liability for personal injury or property damage due to
misconduct or non-compliance with these safety instructions.
Tools have sharp cutting edges which can also cause injury even when at rest. For this
reason, handle tools with care and wear protective gloves.
Always work away from the tool cutting edge, never towards the cutting edge, when
undoing clamping screws.
Always wear protective gloves and proceed with utmost care when packing or
unpacking tools and when handling them (e.g. fitting them in the machine).
Tools must be transported in a suitable packaging or fixture and stored in a safe place
(e.g. in a tool cabinet).

Safety
1.3 Tools and machine
The max. speed specified on the tool must never be exceeded.
All the tools described here are approved only for machines with mechanical feed.
Never use a damaged or dull tool.
Ensure correct direction of rotation of the tools.
Ensure that the machine cannot start up inadvertently while changing tools or cutters.
Tools must be fitted in the machine and secured as directed by the machine
manufacturer.
Before switching on the machine, ensure that the tools are correctly clamped.
Only switch on the machine when the statutory guards are in position.
Tools must never be fitted with cutters on one side only (asymmetrically), as this may
lead to imbalance. All cutters, clamping ledges and blind lugs, if required, must be fitted
without exception. Ensure that all cutters and blanks are of exactly the same weight.
The cutters must be distributed symmetrically when working with less than the full cutter
complement.
Ensure that the clamping areas are clean.
Ensure that parts are fitted correctly when changing cutters.
Ensure that cutters and tool are fitted flush (no protruding edges at the side of the tool).
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 installed. The tool clamp may loosen or
be reduced as the tool shrinks when cooling.
Only use original cutters and replacement parts.

Safety
1.3.1 Hydraulic tools
This operating manual must be read through completely by every authorized user before
working with Weinig tools. This must be confirmed in writing.
The Instruction Manual has been read and thoroughly understood.

Important:
This manual must be retained for future reference!
Hydraulic tools may only be clamped on the mounting arbor or spindle.
The clamping pressure (300 bar) on the hydro cutterhead and on the outboard bearing,
if applicable, must be checked daily with the aid of a high-pressure grease gun before
starting up the machine.
A safety collar must be used on the spindle.
The safety collars must not clamp the tool in axial direction. It must be clamped via the
hydraulic sleeves (300 bar).
The permissible clamping length must be taken into account when clamping hydraulic
tools on spindles without outboard bearing (see operating manual for the planer).
Further information on accident prevention is available on request from your employers'
liability insurance association. Please request this information.
