matching the following requirements (see
also "technical specifications"):
-
fuse protection by a residual current oper-
ated device (RCD) of 30 mA sensitivity;
-
outlets properly installed, earthed and
tested;
Position power supply cable so it does not
interfere with the work and is not damaged.
Protect power supply cable from heat,
aggressive liquids and sharp edges.
Use only rubber-jacketed cable of sufficient
lead cross-section.
Do not pull on power supply cable to unplug.
·
After the machine with all safety devices has
been assembled, plug the power cable in.

starting work:
- On/off switch;
- anti-kickback lock;

Assume proper work position for planing:
-
in front of the machine on the infeed side;
- frontal to the machine;
· Use if required for the type of work:
- Workpiece support (e.g. roller stand) – to
prevent machine from tipping by workpiece
weight;
