5. Instrucciones de funcionamiento

The Scheppach HMS850 offers two primary functions: planing (surface jointing) and thicknessing. The machine is equipped with precision adjusters for accurate settings.

5.1 Planing (Surface Jointing)

Planing is used to flatten one face of a workpiece and square an edge to that face.

• Ensure the machine is configured for planing mode. This involves positioning the dust extraction hood and securing the jointer fence.
• Adjust the infeed table height using the precision adjusters to set the desired chip removal depth. The maximum chip removal for planing is 2 mm.
• Adjust the jointer fence angle. The fence can swivel from 0-45 degrees, allowing for planing angles between 90 and 130 degrees relative to the table. The jointer fence dimensions are 520 x 102 mm.
• With the machine running, feed the workpiece smoothly across the planing table, keeping it firmly against the fence and table.

The planing table size is 737 x 210 mm.

5.2 Espesamiento

Thicknessing is used to bring a workpiece to a uniform thickness, parallel to a previously planed face.

• Convert the machine to thicknessing mode by adjusting the dust extraction hood and raising the planing tables.
• Adjust the thicknessing table height using the crank to set the desired final thickness. The maximum passage height is 120 mm, and the maximum planing width is 204 mm. The thicknessing table size is 350 x 204 mm.
• The maximum chip removal for thicknessing is 2 mm.
• Feed the workpiece into the thicknesser. The anti-kickback claws will help prevent the wood from being ejected.

5.3 Consejos generales de funcionamiento

• The machine is powered by a 1250W motor.
• The planer blades operate at a speed of 8000 min⁻¹.
• Always ensure the dust extraction system is active during operation to maintain a clean work environment and prevent chip buildup.
• For best results, take multiple shallow passes rather than one deep pass.
