2. Istruzzjonijiet tas-Sigurtà

Dejjem osserva l-prekawzjonijiet ta' sigurtà li ġejjin biex tnaqqas ir-riskju ta' xokk elettriku, nar, u korriment serju.

• Aqra l-Manwal: Iffamiljarizza ruħek mal-istruzzjonijiet u t-twissijiet kollha qabel l-operazzjoni.
• Żona tax-Xogħol: Żomm iż-żona tax-xogħol tiegħek nadifa, imdawwal sew, u ħielsa mill-imbarazz. Taħdimx f'atmosferi splussivi, bħal fil-preżenza ta' likwidi, gassijiet jew trab fjammabbli.
• Sigurtà Elettrika: Ensure the power supply matches the machine's requirements. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Sigurtà Personali: Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including safety glasses, hearing protection, and dust masks. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
• Operazzjoni tal-Magni: Do not force the machine. Use the correct machine for your application. Ensure the workpiece is properly supported. Never reach into the machine while it is running.
• Manutenzjoni: Skonnettja l-plagg mis-sors tal-enerġija qabel ma tagħmel xi aġġustamenti, tibdel l-aċċessorji, jew taħżen il-magna.
• Vibrazzjoni Damping: The machine is equipped with vibration-damping feet to enhance stability and reduce operational vibration. Ensure these feet are properly positioned on a stable surface.

4. Setup

Before first use, ensure the machine is properly assembled and positioned.

1. Spakkjar: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Check for any shipping damage.
2. Assemblea: Follow the assembly instructions provided in the separate assembly guide (if applicable) for attaching components such as the outfeed support and dust extraction adapter.
3. Pożizzjonament: Place the planer thicknesser on a stable, level surface capable of supporting its weight (23.9 kg) and the workpiece. Ensure adequate space around the machine for safe operation and material handling.
4. Konnessjoni tal-Enerġija: Connect the machine to a grounded AC power outlet that matches the voltage and frequency specified on the machine's rating plate.
5. Dust Extraction System: Attach a suitable dust extraction system to the Ø 100 mm connection port. This is crucial for maintaining a clean work environment and for the machine's proper function.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

This section details the procedures for both planing and thicknessing operations.

5.1 Operazzjoni Ġenerali

• Always ensure the workpiece is free of nails, screws, or other foreign objects that could damage the blades.
• Use a push stick or sliding block when feeding small workpieces to maintain a safe distance from the blades.
• Never attempt to plane or thickness material that is too short or too thin to be safely controlled.

5.2 Planing Operation

1. Adjust the planing table to the desired depth of cut using the crank. The maximum material removal for planing is 3 mm per pass.
2. Ensure the fence is set to the desired angle (typically 90 degrees for square edges).
3. Turn on the machine. Allow the motor to reach full speed before feeding the workpiece.
4. Feed the workpiece smoothly and consistently across the planing table, maintaining firm pressure against the fence and table.

5.3 Operazzjoni ta' Ħxuna

1. Adjust the thicknessing table to the desired thickness using the crank. The maximum material removal for thicknessing is 2 mm per pass.
2. Ensure the outfeed support is extended if necessary for longer workpieces.
3. Ixgħel il-magna.
4. Feed the workpiece into the thicknesser opening. The machine's feed rollers will pull the material through.
5. Catch the workpiece as it exits the machine.

6. Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your planer thicknesser.

• Tindif: After each use, disconnect the machine from power and clean off all sawdust and chips, especially from the tables, blades, and dust extraction port. Use a brush or compressed air.
• Spezzjoni u Sostituzzjoni tax-Xafra: Regularly inspect the planer blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or chipped blades can lead to poor results and increased motor strain. Refer to the separate blade replacement instructions for safe blade changes. Always use genuine Einhell replacement blades.
• Table Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin coat of dry lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or paste wax) to the planing and thicknessing tables to ensure smooth feeding of workpieces.
• Verifika Ġenerali: Iċċekkja l-ġewż, il-boltijiet u l-viti kollha għal sigurtà. Issikka kif meħtieġ.
