B.2. DESIGN MEASURES FOR ENSURING SAFETY FOR
WORK
The surface planer is provided with following protection devices
,.
Micro switch operated while the exit board of the machine opens, which switches off the machine
when working in smoothing mode.
,.
Catch for opening of the entry board of the smoothing planer before opening of the exit board.
,.
Micro switch operated while the chip collector opens, which switches off the machine.
,.
The machine may not be operated if the boards of the smoothing planer and ship collector are opened
when working in smoothing.
,.
Chip collector.
Collects the chips and released during operation and is equipped with connection tip for a venting in-
stallation.
The ship collector covers the cutting shaft during operation in thicknessing mode and prevents the ac-
cess to the cutting shaft below the boards in smoothing mode.
,.
Barriers between the cutting shaft and the feeding and pulling roller preventing the contact between
them, as well as preventing the access to the cutting shaft under machine's boards.
,.
Option to adjust machine’s boards by height and blocking at the fixed position.
,.
The exit board of the machine has a catch, which does not allow (at adjustment of height) its working
surface to get lower than the upper point of the cutting shaft.
,.
Machine's boards does not allow the carried out of the operation «folding» by means of the cutting
shaft.
,.
Slotted straps at the end of machine’s ends, placed next to the cutting shaft.
The slotted strap reduce the noise during operation and remain always at a distance of 1 to 5 mm from
the cutting circle, independent of the position of machine's boards on height.
,.
Bridge protection of the cutting shaft before the supporting grooving ruler.
Covers the idle section of the cutting shaft during operation of the smoothing planer and may be ad-
justed within 0 to 75 mm depending on the thickness of the piece.
Serves also to press the piece to the supporting ruler.
,.
Supporting grooving ruler.
Serves for reliable support and correct guiding of the piece during operation of the smoothing planer.
May be adjusted under inclination from 90° to 45° and be blocked in the preset position. May be
shifted along the whole working width of machine's board and be blocked in the preset position.
,.
Protection of the cutting shaft behind the supporting ruler.
Covers the knives behind the supporting ruler, is fixed to the ruler and moves along with it.
,.
Extremely sharpened knives of the cutting shaft.
Blunt tools may cause a danger of reverse hint, overload the machine and present poor surface during
processing.

Dynamically balanced cutting shaft.
Reduces the vibrations during operation and present good processed surface.
,.
During specific operations of short pieces we do recommend the use of additional equipment, for in-
stance:
Smoothing device for short pieces; pushing wooden block for smoothening of thin pieces etc.
The additional devices should be always in good condition and should be placed next to the machine at
a suitable place.

Protection against low voltage
When the voltage is low, the machine stops, but after restoration of the voltage it remains standstill. In
order to put it into operation you need to follow the instructions related to the initial commissioning.

The machines are lifted slowly and very carefully to avoid jerks and swinging of load.
,.
After lifting the machine at about 1 m stop the lifting and attach the four leveling supports to the body
of the machine.

Remove the anti-corrosion grease from all unpainted machine parts using kerosene, turpentine or ordi-
nary cleaning products commercially available.
Do not use nitro- thinners or similar diluents and by no means use water.

The stable construction of the machine, ensuring pre-
cise leveling and vibration-free operation does not re-
quire any foundations.

Check by suitable apparatus the good condition of the
nullifying and earthling device.
,.
Check whether the supply voltage and frequency of the
electric current correspond to the data shown on the plate
of the machine. The permissible deviation of the voltage
may by + 15% (for instance: a machine with operation
voltage 380V may work at the range between 360 and
400V).
fig. 6
,.
In order to determine the suitable section of the supply cable, refer to the data for the amperage shown
on the plate of the machine, as well as to the table below.
,.
We do recommend the cable to be rubber insulated type H07RN (WDE0282); take the appropriate
measure to avoid mechanical damages.
,.
Connect the supply cable to the respective terminals of the entry box (L1,L2,L3,N,PE). /fig. 6/
,.
For CEE plug (380V, 16A) the connection to the mains is done by means of CEE coupling
(L1,L2,L3,N,PE).
,.
At the commissioning and after each modification of the connections to the three-phase mains check
whether the direction of rotation of the shaft corresponds to that indicated on the table. If the direction
of rotation is reverse, change the place of connection of phase conductors L1 and L2.
