SERVICE

of battery pack may create a risk of fire when used 

with another battery pack.

• Use power tools only with specifically designated 

battery packs. 

Use of any other battery packs may 

create a risk of injury and fire.

• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away 

from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, 

keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects, 

that can make a connection from one terminal 

to another. 

Shorting the battery terminals together 

may cause burns or a fire. 

• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected 

from the battery; avoid contact. If contact ac-

cidentally occurs, flush with water. If liquid con-

tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. 

Liquid 

ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.

• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is dam-

aged or modified. 

Damaged or modified batteries 

may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, 

explosion or risk of injury.

• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or 

excessive temperature. 

Exposure to fire or tem

-

perature above

 (

) may cause explosion.

• Follow all charging instructions and do not 

charge  the  battery  pack  or  tool  outside  the 

temperature range specified in the instructions. 

Charging improperly or at temperatures outside 

the  specified  range  may  damage  the  battery  and 

increase the risk of fire.

• Have  your  power  tool  serviced  by  a  qualified 

repair person using only identical replacement 

parts. 

This will ensure that the safety of the power 

tool is maintained.

• Never service damaged battery packs. 

Service 

of battery packs should only be performed by the 

manufacturer or authorized service providers.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR 

PLANERS

Planer safety warnings:

• 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 seri-

ous injury.

• Use clamps or another practical way to secure 

and support the workpiece to a stable platform. 

Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the 

body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of 

control.

• Inspect and remove nails from the workpiece 

before cutting. 

Nails will damage the tool and could 

result in fragments of nail or blade being thrown 

toward the operator.

• Use only sharp, properly paired planer blades.

 

Always change blades in pairs. Dull or improperly 

paired blades may cause binding, gouging, or loss 

of control, causing injury.

•Keep hands and body away from blades. Hold 

tool securely with both hands. Contact with blade 

will result in serious injury.

• Blades are sharp. 

Use care when changing or 

adjusting blades.

• Before  use,  ensure  blade  bolts  are  tight  and 

blades are properly aligned. 

Run the tool to check 

for vibration or “wobble” that could indicate improp-

erly installed blades.

• Keep hands and fingers away from dust chute. 

Turn off tool and remove battery pack before clearing 

jams.

 

WARNING

 Some dust created by power sanding, 

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction 

activities contains chemicals known to cause can-

cer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some 

examples of these chemicals are:

• lead from lead-based paint

• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other 

masonry products, and

• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

 

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending 

on how often you do this type of work. To reduce 

your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well 

ventilated area, and work with approved safety 

equipment, such as those dust masks that are spe-

cially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
