• Make sure that a blade is not in contact with the
workpiece when you switch the machine on.
• Wait until the blades attain full speed before cutting.
• Operate the tool at least 200mm away from your face
and body.
• Always switch off and wait until the blades have come to
a complete standstill before attempting any adjustments.
• Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Shavings may
jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Clean out the
chips with a stick but only when the tool has been turned
off and unplugged from the power socket.
• Do not leave the machine running unattended. Operate
the tool only when controlled by both hands.
• When leaving the planer, switch off and set it with the
front base up on a wooden block so that the blades are
not in contact with anything.
• Always change the two blades at the same time,
otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and
shorten the blade and tool life.
WARNING
. Before connecting a tool to a power source
(mains socket power point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
that the voltage supply is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage greater
than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to
the user, as well as damage to the tool.
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power source
with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor. The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those mentioned in this

The same applies for general rules of occupational health
and safety.
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from such
changes. Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not
possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construction
and design:

making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blades and adjusting the depth of cut.
