1-1 SAFETY RULES

EN
The power feeder has been designed
to work on traditional machines
(spindle moulders,
planers, circular saws, etc.), to feed
wood planks and strips, as well as
MDF and veneered panels.
As there is an infinite number of
manufacturers of traditional machine
tools in the world, it is impossibile to
draw a list and match them with the
right types of power feeders.
The selection of the right type of
power feeder to be fitted onto each
machine closely depends on the
following information:
- feeder motor power
- roll feeding speed
- number of rolls
- size of rolls (diameter and width)
- hardness of roll rubber
- length of the horizontal column of the
support
- weight of the power feeder as a
function of the weight of the machine
tool.
32
The right match between the power
feeder and the machine tool must
thicknesser be made by a skilled operator,
experienced in wood processing
machines
saws, spindle moulders, thicknes-
ser planers).
The power feeder must be fastened
onto the machine's main surface,
and not onto surfaces considered
unstable. The bed surface onto
which the support base must be
assembled, must be secure and
stable. The support surfaces are
made of cast iron and steel. They
must be not be less than 20 mm
thick.
The power feeder is not suited for
use outdoors or in rooms at risk of
explosion.
It can be assembled, operated,
maintained and repaired only by
trained and authorized personnel.

(for instance circular
WARNING
The power feeder must only be connec-
ted to the electric board of the machine
tool or to the special power plug provi-
ded on the machine for the handling
devices. Such plugs are connected to
the machine control so that, when stop-
ping the machine tool normally or in an
emergency, the power supply to the
feeder plug is cut off. The plug must be
provided with a safety device against
overloads and connate to the trip and/or
release safety devices that protect the
machine tool from undervoltages. Ob-
serve the relevant accident-prevention
regulations and any other generally
accepted tecnical rules and procedures
concerned with the protection of wor-
kers health and safety. To use the ma-
chine in accordante with the applicable
regulations, also consult the instruction
book before installing the machine. The
power feeder must be used only in the
manner described in this instruction
manual. Any other use is considered
illegitimate and therefore prohibited.
The consequence of resulting damage
in not responsibility of the manufacturer.
