This guard can be fitted on any planer with spindle length up to 650 mm.
Edge planing (fig. 2): loosen knob D and pull guard bridge out just enough to uncover spindle of the necessary minimum measure to allow workpiece introduction in-between.
Flat planing (fig. 3): to plan a workpiece main surface, lift guard bridge upon knob E a little above workpiece thickness so to allow its passage underneath while pushing it forward with one hand and pressing it on worktable with the other one. After each pass bring workpiece back to start position passing it above the bridge that will first lower onto worktable surface then rise again up to the position previously set.
During use the guard bridge moves up and down parallel to worktable. With planing spindles longer than 450 mm it is advisable to use a hinged version of the bridge so to limit the room occupied near the operator (according to EC standards machine provided with ancillary equipment should not occupy, in addition to its proper dimensions, more space than 500 mm for surface planers and 550 mm for combined surface and thickness planers).
