SPECIAL WARNINGS WHEN USING THIS PLANING MACHINE
Using this Planer may create special hazards.
Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.
Electrical Safety.
Never operate any tool if there is an electrical hazard.
Never operate an electrical
tool in wet conditions. Never operate a tool with an improper electrical cord or extension cord. Never operate
an electrical tool unless it is plugged into a properly grounded outlet, which supplies 110-120 Volts at 60Hz. We
recommend you use a circuit which is protected by an appropriate circuit breaker.
Ejected Material.
Use safe practices to avoid injury from ejected material.
Because the Planing tools
turn at high speed, there is a danger of being injured by materials that may be ejected. Always wear ANSI-
certified eye protection. Always stand to one side of the line in which the materials are being inserted or
extruded, to avoid being hit if particles are ejected. Never allow bystanders to be in the proximity of the Planer
while in operation.
Jamming.
Avoid causing the planer to bog down or jam by avoiding the following situations.
Do not
attempt to plane more than 1/8” at a time, or less if the wood is very hard. Do not attempt to feed more than the
stated feed rate, or less if the wood is very hard. Be sure your knife blades are kept sharp. Check all
workpieces for knots and foreign objects before planing. If the workpiece jams, it is likely the circuit breaker
will break to protect the motor.
Entanglement.
Use extreme caution to prevent loose materials from being caught in the machine.
Never operate this Planer with loose clothing, long hair, jewelry, or other items which may become caught in the
blades or workpieces. In case of entanglement, press the OFF switch immediately.
NOTICE: No list of warnings can be all inclusive.
The operator must supply common sense, and operate this tool in a safe manner.
