Do not use the device in moist or wet ambience.
−
Do only work with sufficient visibility conditions. Provide
for good
illumination
.
−
Do not use this machine near
inflammable liquids or

cable
.
Keep them away from your working area.
Do not overload the machine! You work better and safer in
the
given performance range
.
Only operate the machine with complete and correctly
attached
safety equipment
and do not alter anything on the
machine that could impair the safety.
Assume the
correct work posture
. Stand to the side of the
machine.
While the machine runs keep your hands at a safe distance
from the blade shaft and the location where shavings are
ejected.
Always keep sufficient distance to the blade shaft. Maintain
sufficient distance from driven components during operation.
Remove all nails and metallic objects from the work piece
before planing or thicknessing.
Pay attention that the work piece does not contain any
cables, ropes, cords or the like.
Do not machine wood which has numerous knots and knot
holes.
Only start planing and thicknessing when the blade shaft has
reached its
required speed
.
Use only
well sharpened blades
as edgeless blades
increase not only the risk of
backstrokes
but also charge
the motor.
Use appropriate devices when machining thin work pieces to
position and guide the wood pieces properly.
When machining make sure that the unused blade shaft is
covered by the knife guard.
Do only use tools according to EN 847-1 which are marked
with MAN.
The use of other tools and other accessories can

Secure long workpieces against dropping down when
finishing the cutting process. Use roller supports or similar
devices for this purpose.
Do not
remove splinters, shavings and waste
with your
hands
from the dangerous area of the blade shaft.
Switch the machine off and remove the
mains plug from
