Noise emission
Notes concerning noise emission
Given that there exists a relationship between noise level and exposure times, it
is not precise enough to determine the need for supplementary precautions. The
factors affecting the true level of exposure to operators are clearly the amount
of time exposed, the characteristics of working environment other sources of
dust and noise etc. For example, adjacent machines in other words the level of
ambient noise. It is possible that exposure level limits will vary from country to
country.

Introduction to planers
Planers are designed to give you years of safe service. Read this owner’s
manual in its entirety before assembly or use.
The planer is generally defined as a machine that cuts planks of wood smooth
and parallel. The machine achieves this by the plank being pushed along a flat
table under a revolving cutter head.
There are many types of cutter heads but this machine uses an insert cutter type.
The insert cutter type has the main advantage of reducing tear out of the grain
but the finish is not as smooth. It is well within the capabilities of a belt sander
to give a professional finish.
The parallel blade system gives a finish without the lines that the insert cutter
system gives, but is susceptible to tear out, especially on planks with knots. On
balance, it is better to use a machine with the insert cutters than the parallel
blades, as it greatly reduces the risks of having to scrap valuable wood, or
spending excessive time sanding tear out marks.
Additional Instructions for the use of planers
Like all machines there is danger associated with the machine. Injury is
frequently caused by lack of knowledge or familiarity. Use this machine with
respect. If normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, serious
personal injury may occur.
1. Supporting the work.
Only make cuts if the work piece is stable and never attempt to cut unstable
planks or injury may occur.
2.Cutting depth.
Never exceed the maximum cutting depth as stated in the specification for your
machine. It is far better to take several small cuts rather than large cuts.
3. Direction of cut.
Planning against the grain is dangerous and could produce chatter or excessive
chip out. Always plane with the grain.
4.Guards.
Guards are designed to reduce the risk of injury. Always use the guards.
7
5. Stock. Your safety will be greatly enhanced if you only use good lumber.
Only work with lumber after you have inspected it completely. Staples, nails
loose knots and any other metal in the plank will damage your cutter head and
could case injury and or fire. If you have any questions about a piece of lumber
do not use it.

1. Out feed Table.
The function of the out feed table is to support the job once it has been
machined by the cutter head.
2. In feed Table.
The function of the in feed table is to support the job, prior to cutting the job.
Note. Never exceed the maximum depth of cut specified for your machine. It is
far safer to take many small cuts rather than one large cut.
3. Cutter Head Guard.
The guard is there to protect you.
4. Dust port.
The dust port is designed to allow maximum extraction of saw dust and wood
chippings. Connect a 4” flexible dust collection hose between the machine and
your dust extraction system.
Note. The stronger the dust collector the better the dust collection.
5. Depth Scale.
The depth scale indicates the distance between the planer table and the bottom
of the cutter head.
