switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
► Disconnect the plug from the power
source and/or the battery pack from the
power tool before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or stor-
ing power tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the
power tool accidentally.
►
Store idle power tools out of the reach
of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these
instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
► Maintain power tools. Check for mis-
alignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condi-
tion that may aff ect the power tool’s op-
eration.
If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained power tools.
► Keep cutting tools sharp and clean.
Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier to control.
► Use the power tool, accessories and
tool bits etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the
working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for oper-
ations diff erent from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
► Keep handles and grasping surfaces
dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Service
► Have your power tool serviced by a
qualifi ed repair person using only iden-
tical replacement parts. This will ensure
that the safety of the power tool is main-
tained.
Safety information for planers
► Wait for the cutter to stop before setting
the tool down
. An exposed rotating cutter
may engage the surface leading to possi-
ble loss of control and serious injury.
► Hold the power tool by insulated grip-
ping surfaces, 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 opera-
tor an electric shock.
► 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.
► Only bring the power tool into contact
with the workpiece when switched on.
Otherwise there is danger of kickback if
the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.
►
Do not allow the chip ejector to come
into contact with your hands. You may
be injured by rotating parts.
► Never plane over metal objects, nails or
screws. Cutters and cutter shafts could
become damaged and cause increased
vibration.
► Use suitable detectors to determine if
utility lines are hidden in the work area
or call the local utility company for as-
sistance.
Contact with electric lines can
lead to fi re and electric shock. Damaging a
gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrat-
ing a water line causes property damage
or may cause an electric shock.
►
While working, always hold the plan-
er in such a way that the planer base
plate lies flat against the workpiece.
Otherwise the planer could slip and cause
injury.
