The machine may not be used in temperatures below 0 C 32 F The machine s warning labels are there for everyone s safety Damaged or illegible labels must be replaced Moving the machine The machine must not be lifted manually In the upper edge of the machine chassis there are four 32 mm holes intended for lifting straps The machine can also be lifted with a fork lift truck or a pallet lift In this case the machine should stand on and be strapped to a Euro pallet For moving the machine on flat and level floors Logosol can as accessory provide a castor set ref no 7500 000 1025 to be fitted under the chassis If the castor set is fitted to the machine reliable barriers must be made between the machine and differences in floor level such as stairs or inclined floor surfaces to prevent the machine from accidentally beginning to move due to gravity A Risk of kickbacks Never stand behind the work piece when it is being fed into the machine The board can be hurled out of the machine Also knots splinters or pieces of steel can be hurled out with great force Always stand at the side of the in feed table Minimum length of the work piece 600 mm 24 Acquaint yourself with all functions and setting possibilities before starting to use the machine 6 Safety Distance The safety distance for persons other than the operator is 3 m 10 ft from the sides of the machine or 8 m 26 ft from the in and out f
5. If the machine is not being used during a long period of time Disconnect the power Clean the entire machine extra thoroughly and perform the same maintenance as after each working session DO not forget the lubrication points Remove knives chip breakers and pressure rollers Keep these well lubricated and at room temperature Cover the machine with a tarpaulin Other maintenance The out feed roller i e the rubber roller will wear down and should be replaced when it does not work as it should due to wear and tear Increased presence of out feed marks on the workpiece or boards that are not being fed out of the machine can be signs of wear and tear on the out feed roller 25 Knives Planing Moulding with LOGOSOL PH 260 This section contains important information about your planer moulder and the knives that you mount in it The manufacturing process of Logosol s moulding knives Both standard and custom made knives are manufactured with a technique that is called wire cutting A 0 25 mm thick brass wire with pulsating high voltage is fed through the steel It makes an exactly 0 32 mm wide cut The accuracy is within 0 003 mm which makes the edge of the knife really sharp The entire knife is made in one single computer driven process The advantages of this are many 1 The repeatability is 10096 All profiles become identical every time they are made This is also the case when it comes to custom ma
6. Some have reached good results by mounting a nozzle blowing compressed air along the back of the cutter 21 Planing and moulding A planer moulder is not a jointer it only dimensions and moulds the workpiece For this reason the cutting parts in the machine should be as close to each other as possible to avoid jointing operation Panelling and other mouldings are normally not machined in a jointer A jointer makes the sides of the workpiece straight but does not dimension it A jointer has long tables that guide the workpiece straight over the cutter After that the board has to be run through a planer dimensioning planer or a moulder to get the correct width and height Usually only shorter work pieces are machined in jointers workpieces that will be used for cabinet making or producing windows for instance These tow types of machines should not be confused with each other They each have their own functions Wood Wood shrinks when drying Most of the shrinkage happens when the wood is drying from 25 moisture content to 10 To get a fine surface you should not plane timber that has more moisture content than 20 and that is about as dry wood can get when drying outdoors Preferably the timber should be kept indoors before it is machined Along the board in the direction of the fibres the wood shrinks very little In most cases you do not have to take this shrinkage into consideration Along the annual growth rings

Check these areas and if necessary remove the wood debris that has accumulated there Adjusting the feeding speed The stepless feeding speed can be adjusted by turning the knob on the planetary gear If the knob is turned clockwise the feeding speed is increased if it is turned anticlockwise the feeding speed is lowered Do not adjust the feeding speed if the motor of the feed rollers is not running The optimum feeding speed varies depending on what sort of wood you are machining the moisture content of the wood and what type of moulding knives you have mounted in the machine On the standard version of the machine the feeding speed can be adjusted from 2 m min to 12 m min As an option you can replace the motor and the planetary gear to obtain a feeding speed of 4 24 m min ref no 7000 000 2001 21 Levelling the machine table 0 Levelling the machine table is a serious and complicated operation Ensure that this operation is really necessary before beginning any adjustments The machine table is already levelled from factory but the table can have changed its position by rough handling during transport or by the machine being subject to impact Indications that the machine table is not level 1 The upper cutter cannot be adjusted so that it is parallel to the machine table see p 14 2 The crank for raising and lowering the table is difficult or impossible to turn 3 The chain that connects the trape
