Scheppach HMS850 5802201903 Planing Machine F.A.Q.

How do I properly set up the Scheppach HMS850 for the first use?

Begin by assembling the stand and securing the planer to it. Ensure all bolts are tightened. Connect the machine to a power source, checking that the voltage matches the requirements. Adjust the infeed and outfeed tables to be level with the cutter head.

What is the best method to change the blades on the HMS850?

Turn off and unplug the machine. Open the blade cover and carefully loosen the blade locking screws. Remove the old blades and replace them with new ones, ensuring they are securely fastened and properly aligned.

How can I maintain the cutting quality of the HMS850 over time?

Regularly inspect the blades for wear and replace them when necessary. Keep the tables clean and waxed to reduce friction. Check the alignment of the blades and tables periodically to ensure accuracy.

What should I do if the planer is not starting?

Ensure the machine is plugged in and the power switch is on. Check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. Also, inspect the power cord for any damage and replace it if needed.

How do I adjust the depth of cut on the HMS850?

Use the depth adjustment handle to raise or lower the cutter head. Turn clockwise to decrease the depth and counterclockwise to increase it. Always make small adjustments and check with a piece of scrap wood.

What are common troubleshooting steps if the planer is producing uneven cuts?

Check the alignment of the infeed and outfeed tables. Ensure the blades are sharp and evenly set. Verify that the workpiece is being fed straight and not skewed.

How often should the dust collection system be emptied?

Empty the dust collection bag or container whenever it is about half full to maintain optimal suction and prevent clogging.

What lubrication is recommended for the moving parts of the HMS850?

Use a light machine oil for lubricating the moving parts such as the height adjustment screw and table slides. Avoid excessive lubrication which can attract dust and debris.

How can I prevent snipe when using the HMS850?

Ensure the infeed and outfeed tables are properly aligned and support the workpiece fully as it enters and exits the cutting area. Alternatively, use sacrificial boards at the beginning and end of the workpiece.

What safety precautions should be taken while operating the HMS850?

Always wear safety goggles and ear protection. Ensure all guards are in place before operation. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that can catch in moving parts. Keep hands away from the cutter head when the machine is in operation.
