OPERATIONS
Figure 20. Disabling the machine.
Removing the key from the power switch disables the
cutterhead ON button (see Figures 20 & 21) which
can prevent unauthorized machine operation. If the
machine is located where untrained people have access,
this is especially important. However, when adjusting
or servicing this machine, disabling the machine in this
manner is NOT a safe substitute for disconnecting the
machine completely from power.
OPERATIONS
General
This machine will perform many types of operations
that are beyond the scope of this manual. Many of these
operations can be dangerous or deadly if performed
incorrectly.
The instructions in this section are written with the
understanding that the operator has the necessary
knowledge and skills to operate this machine. If at any
time you are experiencing difficulties performing any
operation, stop using the machine!
If you are an inexperienced operator, we strongly
recommend that you read books or trade articles, or seek
training from an experienced planer/moulder operator
before performing any unfamiliar operations. Above all,
your safety should come first!
READ and understand this entire instruc-
tion manual before using this machine.
Serious personal injury may occur if
safety and operational information is not
understood and followed. DO NOT risk
your safety by not reading!
Locking Power Switch
Children or untrained people can be killed or seriously
injured by this machine. This risk increases with
unsupervised operation. To help prevent unsupervised
operation, disable and lock the switch before leaving
machine unattended! Place the key in a well-hidden
or secure location.
