Overview Of Machine; Legend (Fig. 1) - Proxxon AH 80 Manual

Inspect the work piece very closely before planing!
Check the work piece you wish to plane for any inclu-
sions, such as nails, screws, stone, etc., and remove
them! In particular, metal parts that are embedded in the
work piece can severely damage the shafts and knives
in your planing machine and render it useless. The work
piece might possibly splinter, Caution: Risk of injury!
The slide faces on the planing table can become
scratched and thus lead to impaired function. Heavy
damage can occur if the knife shaft comes into contact
with a metal object!
Use a "push block" when planing extremely short
work pieces!
To avoid being injured by the recoil mechanism of the
knife shaft, please use a "push block" to introduce the
work piece into the planer.
Wear hearing protection!
The sound pressure level when working with the planing
machine can exceed 85 dB (A), therefore always work
with hearing protection!
Wear suitable working clothes!
When working, never wear loose clothing, such as neck-
ties or scarves, as it could get caught on one of the
moving parts or automatically moving work piece during
operation and cause injuries. Wear a hairnet if you have
long hair and remove your jewellery.
Do not use any damaged or deformed reverse
knives.
Make absolutely sure the reverse knifes in the planing
shaft are in perfect condition. Visually check for this
intact condition before each use and use only Proxxon
spare parts for replacements!
Keep children and non-participants away from the
working area.
Make sure that children and non-participants maintain
an appropriate safety distance! Youths below the age of
16 may only use the planer under professional instruc-
tion and for purposes of schooling. When not in use,
keep the planing machine out of the reach of children!
Do not overstress your tool.
Naturally, you will only achieve optimal work results
within the performance range for which the machine is
designed! Therefore, avoid too large an infeed! Instead,
follow the recommendations for correct infeed given by
the table on the device. Do not misuse the device, and
do not use it for work for which it is not intended.
Always be prudent and attentive!
Observe the device during work and proceed reason-
able. Do not use the tool if you are distracted, tired, or if
you have consumed alcohol.
Handle the connecting cable with care!
Protect the connecting cable from heat and sharp
edges, and lay the cable so that it cannot be damaged.
Do not pull on the cable to disconnect the plug from the
socket outlet, and do not lift the device by the cable.
Ensure cleanliness: Protect the cable from grease and
oil!
Pay attention to the shape of the work piece!
Extremely curved or otherwise very irregularly shaped
work pieces may not be planed! It is possible that the
contact to the planing table is insufficient!
Please wear a dust mask!
Some types of wood or even varnish residues (or similar)
can generate harmful dusts while working. If you are
unsure of the harmlessness of your planing material,
please wear a dust protection mask!
Provide roller tables for very long work pieces!
To avoid damage and dangerous situations, use roller
tables when processing very long work pieces which
must be carefully placed in the push-in or push-out
direction. If connecting cables are damaged shut down
the planing machine immediately and have a specialist
replace them right away!
Clean thoroughly after work!
Disconnect the mains plug!
Always unplug the mains plug when not in use, before
maintenance, when changing tools, cleaning or repair-
ing! Cleaning also includes removing any loose chips or
vacuuming off dust
Carefully read the operating instructions before use
and keep in a safe place! .
