7.2 Installation
The machine must be installed on a firm and level floor. Adjust feet
until planing beds are level. All four feet must evenly rest on the floor
to prevent rocking.
7.3 Connection to Power Mains
- Check if voltage of power mains matches with voltage stated on machine’s type plate (400 V 50 Hz ±5%).
- This machine must be operated on a residual current device (RCD) of 30 mA capacity , having a fault current
breaker.
- The outlet this machine is connected to must be earthed and each phase protected by a 16 A time-lag fuse
or circuit breaker. A minimum conductor crossection of 2.5 mm
2
is required.
- This machine must be safety earthed. The yellow/green lead is the earth conductor. If a plug matching your
local standard outlet is fitted to the power cable, do not connect the earth lead to one of the current conducting
leads.
- Do not operate this machine with a damaged power cable. Risk of electrical shock.
- Worn or defective cables must be replaced immediately. Have replaced by a qualified electrician only.
7.4 Direction of Rotation
Important! The direction of rotation of the cutterblock must be
against the feed direction. It is factory set on single-phase machines.
On machines equipped with a three-phase motor, start machine
briefly to check direction of rotation. To change, turn phase inverter
pins in plug by 180° with screwdriver.
7.5 Dust Collection
If this machine is operated indoors for more than 30 minutes a day it must be connected to a dust collector (the
dust of oak and beech is classified as cancer causing). The dust collector this machine is connected to must
provide for a minimum air flow rate of 16 mtr/sec.
The dust collection port of the dust chute has a nominal diameter of 100 mm.
7.6 Automatic Dust Collector Starting
The electrical connection of this machine must ensure that a dust collector connected to it automatically starts
when the machine is switched on, and provide for 20 sec post-running of the dust collector after the machine
