Instrucións xerais de seguridade

ADVERTENCIA: Lea todas as advertencias de seguridade, instrucións, ilustracións e especificacións proporcionadas con esta ferramenta eléctrica. O incumprimento de todas as instrucións que se indican a continuación pode producir descargas eléctricas, incendios e/ou lesións graves.

• Seguridade na zona de traballo: Keep the work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
• Seguridade eléctrica: Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock. Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is earthed or grounded. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling, or unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• Seguridade persoal: Always wear eye protection. Use safety glasses, goggles, or a face shield. Wear hearing protection when operating noisy tools. Wear a dust mask if the operation creates dust. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Uso e coidado da ferramenta eléctrica: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed. Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally. Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Specific Planer/Thicknesser Safety:
  • Always ensure the workpiece is free of nails, screws, or other foreign objects before planing.
  • Never plane material shorter than 300mm (12 inches) without a push block.
  • Keep hands clear of the cutter head at all times.
  • Asegúrese de que todas as proteccións estean no seu lugar e funcionen correctamente antes da operación.
  • Always feed the workpiece against the direction of rotation of the cutter head.
  • Do not remove jammed workpieces until the machine is switched off and the cutter head has stopped completely.
  • Connect the machine to a dust extraction system to minimize airborne dust.

Instrucións de funcionamento

1. Planing (Jointing) Operation

• Adjusting the Infeed Table: Set the desired depth of cut using the infeed table adjustment knob. The maximum depth of cut is 3mm.
• Axuste da valla: Position the aluminum fence at the desired angle (90-135°) and secure it firmly.
• Alimentación da peza de traballo: Place the workpiece on the infeed table. Ensure it is flat and free of defects. Turn on the machine. Carefully feed the workpiece into the cutter head, keeping your hands away from the blades. Use push blocks for shorter pieces.
• Maintaining Pressure: Apply even pressure to the workpiece as it passes over the cutter head and onto the outfeed table.

2. Thicknessing Operation

• Converting to Thicknesser: Lift and secure the planer tables out of the way to expose the thicknesser bed.
• Adjusting Thickness: Use the handwheel to adjust the height of the thicknesser table to achieve the desired final thickness. The maximum thicknessing height is 160mm.
• Alimentación da peza de traballo: Turn on the machine. Feed the workpiece into the thicknesser opening. The feed rollers will automatically pull the wood through. Do not force the workpiece.
• Pases múltiples: For significant material removal, take multiple shallow passes rather than one deep pass to prevent overloading the motor and ensure a smoother finish.

Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Scheppach HMS1500.

• Limpeza: After each use, disconnect the machine from the power supply. Clean all wood chips and dust from the tables, cutter head area, and dust extraction port. Use a brush or compressed air. Do not use solvents that may damage painted surfaces.
• Inspección e substitución da lámina: Regularly inspect the planer blades for sharpness and damage. Dull or chipped blades can lead to poor finish and increased motor strain. Replace both blades simultaneously to maintain balance. Refer to the detailed instructions in the full manual for blade replacement procedures.
• Table Lubrication: Periodically apply a thin coat of dry lubricant (e.g., silicone spray or paste wax) to the planer and thicknesser tables to reduce friction and prevent rust.
• Motor and Belt Inspection: Check the motor ventilation openings for obstructions. Inspect drive belts for wear or damage. Replace if necessary.
• General Fastener Check: Periodically check all nuts, bolts, and screws for tightness. Tighten as needed.
