Planer guard (fig. 8)
The planer guard is composed of an aluminium protection bridge which can be adjusted in height parallel to
the table surface.
First check the worpiece for straightness and always put the workpiece on the planer
table with the concave side down.
For planing, the bridge guard has to be lowered so that the workpiece can be slid under the bridge guard.
Set the height using the adjustment knob; the workpiece is guided along the planer fence and under the
planer protection guard.
For planning the narrow side of a workpiece the protection bridge has to be lowered down to the table and
has to be set according to the workpiece width. Set the bridge guard with a minimal opening to the
workpiece to ensure maximum cover and safety.
This guard has to be used for every operation on the planer. Never work without it !!!
Changing the height of the bridge guard is done with the knob (fig; 8.1).
