Maintenance hazards include:
Failure to lockout may result in:
To control maintenance dangers:
Lockout procedures must be followed (see OSHA regulation 1910.147).
Never rely on machine stop control for maintenance safety (emergency stops, on/off
buttons, interlocks).
Do not reach into moving blades or feed systems. Allow all coasting parts to come

Electrical power supply must be locked out.
Where established lockout procedures cannot be used (electrical troubleshooting or
mechanical dynamic troubleshooting), alternative effective protective techniques
shall be employed which may require special skills and planning.
Always follow safe operations practices in the workplace.
LOCKOUT PROCEDURE
Lockout procedures per OSHA regulation 1910.147, appendix A:
GENERAL
The following simple lockout procedure is provided to assist owner/operators in develop-
ing their procedures so they meet the requirements of OSHA regulation 1910.147. When
the energy isolating devices are not lockable, tagout may be used, provided the
owner/operator complies with the provisions of the standard which require additional

training and more rigorous periodic inspections. When tagout is used and the energy iso-
lating devices are lockable, the owner/operator must provide full operator protection (see
OSHA regulation 1910.147, paragraph (c)(3)) and additional training and more rigorous
periodic inspections are required. For more complex systems, more comprehensive pro-
cedures may need to be developed, documented, and utilized.
PURPOSE
This procedure establishes the minimum requirements for the lockout of energy isolating
devices whenever maintenance or servicing is done on machines or equipment. It shall
be used to ensure that the machine or equipment is stopped, isolated from all potentially
hazardous energy sources and locked out before personnel perform any servicing or
maintenance where the unexpected energization or start-up of the machine or equipment
or release of stored energy could cause injury.
COMPLIANCE WITH THIS PROGRAM
All personnel are required to comply with the restrictions and limitations imposed upon
them during the use of lockout. The authorized personnel are required to perform the
lockout in accordance with this procedure. All operators, upon observing a machine or
piece of equipment which is locked out to perform servicing or maintenance shall not
attempt to start, energize, or use that machine or equipment.
SEQUENCE OF LOCKOUT
1. Notify all affected personnel that servicing or maintenance is required on a machine or
equipment and that the machine or equipment must be shut down and locked out to per-
form the servicing or maintenance.
2. The authorized employee shall refer to the company procedure to identify the type and
magnitude of the energy that the machine or equipment utilizes, shall understand the haz-
ards of the energy, and shall know the methods to control the energy.
3. If the machine or equipment is operating, shut it down by the normal stopping procedure
(depress the stop button, open switch, close valve, etc.).
4. De-activate the energy isolating device(s) so that the machine or equipment is isolated
from the energy source(s).
5. Lock out the energy isolating device(s) with assigned individual lock(s).
6. Stored or residual energy (such as that in capacitors, springs, elevated machine mem-
bers, rotating flywheels, hydraulic systems, and air, gas, steam, or water pressure, etc.)
must be dissipated or restrained by methods such as grounding, repositioning, blocking,
bleeding down, etc.

Safety
Electrical lockout procedures
Safety doc072519 2-7

7. Ensure that the equipment is disconnected from the energy source(s) by first checking
that no personnel are exposed, then verify the isolation of the equipment by operating the
push button or other normal operating control(s) or by testing to make certain the equip-
ment will not operate.
CAUTION! Return operating control(s) to neutral or "off" position after
verifying the isolation of the equipment.
8. The machine or equipment is now locked out.
RESTORING EQUIPMENT TO SERVICE
When the servicing or maintenance is completed and the machine or equipment is ready
to return to normal operating condition, the following steps shall be taken.
1. Check the machine or equipment and the immediate area around the machine to ensure
that nonessential items have been removed and that the machine or equipment compo-
nents are operationally intact.
2. Check the work area to ensure that all personnel have been safely positioned or removed
from the area.
3. Verify that the controls are in neutral.
4. Remove the lockout devices and reenergize the machine or equipment.
NOTE: The removal of some forms of blocking may require re-energi-
zation of the machine before safe removal.
5. Notify affected personnel that the servicing or maintenance is completed and the machine
or equipment is ready for use.
PROCEDURE INVOLVING MORE THAN ONE PERSON
In the preceding steps, if more than one individual is required to lock out the equipment,
each shall place his own personal lock on the energy isolating devices.

SECTION 3 SETUP
3.1 Site preparation
WARNING! Have a certified electrician install the power to your
machine. Failure to follow this may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Be sure the power supply cables are not a trip hazard.
Failure to follow this may result in serious injury or death.
CAUTION! Improper voltage will cause damage to the motor and elec-
tronic components. Have a qualified electrician install the power supply
to begin using your pallet dismantler.
IMPORTANT! The power supply must meet the motor specifications
concerning wire size, fused disconnect, and voltage, which are pro-
vided in the motor’s manual. The electrical installation must also meet
local codes.
Your MP260 should be placed in a dry work area on a firm, level surface.
Ensure proper lighting is available, with attention to extra lighting directly over the planer
moulder.
Allow room for the longest piece of material to run through and exit the machine with ease
of movement.
Allow space for storing and handling the material that will be running through your planer.
The machine may not be used in temperatures below freezing [32°F (0°C)].
Do not allow the power cables or chip collection hoses to become trip hazards. Plan the
routes carefully.
For mounting, you can either bolt the planer moulder to the floor in place with 8-10 mm
bolts (recommended) or mount the planer moulder on casters for ease of moving.
IMPORTANT! Only use casters that are approved for this model.
NOTE: If a caster set is fitted to the machine, ensure the floor is flat
and level. Make reliable barriers between the machine and differences
in floor level or inclined floor surfaces to prevent the machine from
accidentally moving due to gravity.

The safety distance for persons other than the operator is 10 ft (3 m) from the sides of the
machine or 26 ft (8 m) from the in- and outfeed sides during operation. Use some kind of
demarcation so that no one can unintentionally come within the risk area.
See Figure 3-1.
Onsite setup
DANGER! Maintain a clean and clear path for all necessary movement
around the planer moulder and material stacking areas. Failure to fol-
low this will result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Do not allow children in the area of the planer moulder.
Failure to follow this may result in serious injury or death.
WARNING! Set up the planer moulder on firm, level ground. Failure to
follow this may result in serious injury or death.
Chip collection
The MP260 has 4 chip collection ports--one 5” and three 4” ports--sized to fit flexible
hose, one located at each cutter head. A strong vacuum or chip collection system rate
approximately 2500 CFM is recommended for use on standard materials less than 4”
thick. For thicker material or extra-wide planks, size your collection system accordingly.
Wood-Mizer sells chip extraction units specially made for this model.
When using a collection system, keep in mind:
Check your local waste disposal codes before designing your chip collection sys-
tem.
Design access to your chip collection bins so that they can be easily emptied.
Short hose runs and smooth-walled hoses reduce suction loss within the system.

Locate the chip collector controls near the planer moulder controls.
Collection systems are loud; use ear protection.
If you are operating this machine in a climate-controlled building and blowing the
chips outside, the vacuum created by the chip collector can quickly empty your
building of its heated or cooled air.
If blowing the chips to an indoor bin, an air filter will be necessary to prevent wood
dust from reducing the air quality inside of your building.
If selling chips for use with livestock, do not use harsh chemicals for cleaning or
lubricating machinery.
Feed tables (optional)
The in- and out-feed tables are both mounted the same way. The instructions below
describe mounting of the in-feed table. This procedure is facilitated if you have someone
that helps you.
MOUNTING
1. Place a straight board in the machine and let it protrude over the in-feed table.
2. Secure the board by raising the machine table.
3. Loosen the screws and press the feed table up against the board.
4. Tighten.
5. Loosen the screws and adjust the angle of the table.
6. Fit the upper angle iron with screws in the threaded holes behind the front edge of the
