Foreword, Symbols
Dear Customer
Your machine may differ from that illustrated here, but that is of no relevance
for safe operation of the machine. A Profimat 23 E with universal spindle has
been used by way of example to describe the operating sequence.
Training
This Manual is merely part of the overall documentation. It is essential to read
and note the manual entitled "Safety Instructions". The "Electrical circuit
diagram", "Pneumatic circuit diagram" and "Hydraulic circuit diagram" are
located in the control cabinet. The "Installation diagram" was sent to you with
the confirmation of your order. Instructions for "Control systems" and
"Supplementary features" supplied separately as required for your particular
machine version.
No one may work with the machine, not even for a brief period, without the
requisite training either within the company, by our field staff, by vocational
training institutes or in the WEINIG Training Center.
Symbols
Danger: This symbol draws attention to exceptional hazards which will
certainly lead to very serious injury if the instructions are disregarded and
precautions are not taken.
Warning: This symbol draws attention to a potential hazard which can lead to
very serious injury if precautions are not taken.
Caution: This symbol draws attention to hazardous situations which may lead
to physical injury, damage to the machine or other property or to loss of data
(control systems).
Additional information on how to operate the machine correctly.
Take note of further instructions, instruction modules, enclosures or other
manufacturers’ instructions.
Reference to general and specific hazards. Some symbols are also
to be found on the machine. These symbols must be noted and must
remain clearly legible at all times.

Safety
General safety instructions
The separate manual entitled "Safety Instructions"must be read and observed, for it
contains further information on the machine’s intended use and its safe operation.
The machine has been designed and built in line with state-of-the-art technology and is
safe when operated correctly. Safety of the operating personnel was one of the basic
concepts underlying its design.
All machines are potentially dangerous if they are operated incorrectly, used for
purposes other than those for which they were built or are operated by persons lacking
the requisite know-how, training or sense of responsibility.
The manufacturer cannot accept any liability for losses incurred due to non-conforming
use of the machine. The risk of accidents and damage rests exclusively with the owner
in such cases.
It is therefore essential to note the information and instructions contained in the
Instruction Manual. All local safety and accident prevention regulations must also be
complied with.
The machine may only be operated, serviced and repaired by duly authorized, trained
and instructed personnel. These persons must be informed in detail of all the foresee-
able potential dangers. No one should work on the machine or remain in its vicinity if
they are not completely fit both physically and mentally.
The Instruction Manual must be read through completely and understood by all
authorized persons before starting work on the machine. The person responsible for
safety should obtain written confirmation of this from all concerned.
Tools, feed rollers and their drive components coast after being switched off and are a
source of danger.
Great care must therefore be taken when opening hoods and covers!
CAUTION! Never reach into tools, feed rollers and their drive elements before they
have come to a complete stop.
The owner must clearly define exactly who is responsible for setting-up, retooling,
operation and maintenance and is obliged to ensure that the machine is only operated
when in safe working order.
The operator is obliged to immediately remedy all damage or changes in the machine
which may impair its safety (provided that he is authorized to do so) or must report
these without delay.
When unloading and installing the machine, it is important to ensure that the load-
carrying capacity of the lifting gear is sufficient to bear the weight of the machine.

Safety
Signs referring to product safety and other safety stickers must be checked regularly and
cleaned. They must be replaced if they are no longer clearly legible, even at a
reasonable distance.
All safety mechanisms must be checked every day and before starting up the machine in
order to ensure that they are always in perfect working order.
Any protective mechanisms which have been removed for setting-up, retooling, repair
or maintenance work must be replaced before switching on the machine.
Hoods, doors and covers must not be opened or maintenance work started until the
machine has been switched off, all rotating parts (tools, feed rollers, etc.) have come to a
complete stop and the machine has been secured so that it cannot be switched on again
inadvertently (lockout or warning sign on the master switch).
Machine parts and safety mechanisms must not be removed, modified or bypassed.
Only original WEINIG replacement parts may be used in the machine.
No liability whatsoever can be assumed for damage and losses due to the use of parts
from other manufacturers or unauthorized changes in the machine.
Loose-fitting garments, long hair, wristwatches, jewellery and gloves can lead to
accidents at work (e.g. snagging, being trapped by rotating tools, feed rollers, etc.).
For this reason:
– Do not wear any loose-fitting garments
– Cover your hair
– Remove wristwatches and jewellery
Ensure that the workplace is kept clean and tidy. Dirt (e.g. oil or wood dust on the
floor) and obstacles can impair your safety.
Wear goggles or a full face mask and use ear protection.
Keep your hands well clear of the feed area!
In order to avoid kickbacks, the width of the feed rolls must be selected in accordance
with the width of the workpiece and the height of the feed rolls must be set in
accordance with the workpiece height to be machined, so that sufficient pressure is
ensured.
The specified cross-sections and the required air velocities and flow rates (see layout
and extraction diagrams) should be noted in conjunction with the extraction of chips and
dust. The extractor system should always be running whenever the machine is in
operation.

Safety
Feeding timber with the aid of a push-bar or similar can be dangerous and is therefore
prohibited.
Never stand behind a workpiece that is being fed into the machine.
Do not raise the feed mechanism or movable infeed roller while there are still
workpieces in the machine and the tools are still rotating, otherwise the workpieces may
be released and kicked back.
Do not feed in additional timber if the feed system becomes jammed. Switch off the
machine, secure it so that it cannot be switched on again inadvertently, wait until all
rotating parts have come to a complete stop and then remedy the fault.
Only long workpieces of the same width and thickness and without cracks may be used
to push out short workpieces (too short for complete throughfeed).
Do not look into or stand behind the infeed opening of the machine while the machine is
in operation, as you may be injured by workpieces or splinters.
Before leaving the machine unattended, the control voltage must be switched off and the
machine secured so that it cannot be switched on inadvertently (lock or warning sign on
the master switch).
The permissible noise level depends on the national regulations and standards prevailing
in the owner’s country. Additional noise abatement measures must be taken by the
owner if the applicable limit values are exceeded on account of exceptional
circumstances (e.g. room, workpieces, tools, spindle speed) in individual instances.
If the machine is equipped with outboard bearings, it may only be switched on when the
outboard bearings have been fitted on the top and bottom spindles.
The following safety instructions must be noted when working on
the control cabinet:
Before starting any work on live parts, the power supply must be switched off (master
switch OFF) and secured so that it cannot be switched on again.
Work on the electrical system may only be carried out by duly qualified electricians.
Whenever electrical parts have been installed or repaired, the relevant protective
elements (such as grounding resistors) must be tested before the machine is put into
service again.
Signalling elements (limit switches) and other electrical parts must not be removed from
the safety mechanisms or bypassed in any way.

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.
