planer Safety Warnings
1.
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting
the tool down.
An exposed rotating cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible
loss of control and serious injury.
2.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord.
Cutting a “live” wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool “live” and
could give the operator an electric shock.
3.
use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. Before every use, confirm that both knives are
properly aligned and both knives are secured fully.
Then, start tool off of workpiece and
allow tool to reach full speed.
if tool vibrates or becomes noisy
SWitcH it OFF iMMEDiatELy,
unplug it and allow it to come to a complete stop.
Adjust and tighten knives to correct imbalance.
If vibration or noise persists, do not use tool until
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Remove all foreign objects, such as nails or metal
fragments, from the workpiece before planing.
6. Do not use to plane non-wood materials.
7. Knives are very sharp and are double-edged!
Wear heavy-duty leather work gloves at all times
when replacing, adjusting, or handling a knife.
8. Change both knives at once. Changing knives
individually could result in imbalance.
9. Do not unclog dust chute with
tool plugged in or blades moving.
Do not insert your finger into the dust chute.

• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented
– it prevents sustained electrical shock.
