??? PERSONAL SAFETY
TOOL USE AND CARE
personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your
hair, clothing, and gloves away from
moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch
is off before plugging in. Carrying tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of
the tool may result in personal injury.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
• Use safety equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must
be used for appropriate conditions.
TOOL USE AND CARE
• Use clamps or other practical way to
secure and support the workpiece to a
stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or
against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
• Do not force tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate for
which it is designed.
• Do not use tool if switch does not
turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power
source before making any adjustments,
changing accessories or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the tool accidentally.
• Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting
tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
tools, with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect the
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using it.
Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one tool, may become hazardous
when used on another tool.
SERVICE
• Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
• When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Follow instructions in
the Maintenance section of this manual.
Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow
Maintenance Instructions may create a risk of
electric shock or injury.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
ELECTRIC PLANERS
ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR
ELECTRIC PLANERS
• Hold tool by insulated gripping surfaces when
performing an operation where the cutting
tool may contact hidden wiring or its own
cord. Contact with a “live” wire will make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and
shock the operator.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you
must make sure that it has the right ampere
rating for your power tool and is in safe
electrical condition.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same
as your tool rating plate voltage.
• After long working periods external metal
parts and accessories could be hot.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vise to
hold your work.
• Always switch off before you put the
planer down.
• Do not force the planer: let the tool do the
work at a reasonable speed. Overloading will
occur if too much pressure is applied and the
motor slows, resulting in inefficient planing
and possible damage to the planer motor.
• Always use a dust extraction system
where possible.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
• Remove all nails, screws and other objects
from the work piece. You can damage the
blade and the tool by cutting into a nail or
other foreign object. It can also present a
safety hazard.
• Handle the blades very carefully.
• Be sure that the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
• Always wear eye and ear protection and use
a dust mask.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
• Before using the tool on an actual work
piece, switch on and let it run for a while.
Watch for vibration or wobbling that
could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
• Make sure that the blade is not in contact
with the work piece when you switch the
machine on.
• Wait until the blades reach full speed
before cutting.
• Operate the tool at least 8 inches away from
your face and body.
• Always switch off and wait until the blades
have come to a complete stop 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 point.
• Do not leave the machine running
unattended. Operate the tool only when
controlled with 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 three blades at the same
time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten the blade and
tool life.
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.
