General safety advice for electrical power tools General safety advice for electrical power tools
the device, change accessories or when
the device is put away.
This precaution is
intended to prevent you from unintentionally
starting the device.
d) When not in use always ensure that
electrical power tools are kept out of
reach of children. Do not let anyone use
the device if he or she is not familiar
with it or has not read the instructions
and advice.
Electrical power tools are dan­
gerous when they are used by inexperienced
people.
e)
Look after the device carefully. Check
that moving parts are working prop-
erly and move freely. Check for any
parts that are broken or damaged
enough to detrimentally affect the
functioning of the device. Have dam-
aged parts repaired before you use
the device.
Many accidents have their origins
in poorly maintained electrical power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools clean and sharp.
Carefully maintained cutting tools with sharp
cutting edges are less likely to jam and are
easier to control.
g) Use the electrical power tool, accesso-
ries, inserted tools etc. in accordance
with these instructions and advice, and
the stipulations drawn up for this par-
ticular type of device. In doing this, take
into account the working conditions
and the task in hand.
The use of electrical
power tools for purposes other than those in­
tended can lead to dangerous situations.
5. Service
a) Have your device repaired at the ser-
vice centre or by qualified specialist
personnel using original manufacturer
parts only.
This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Safety advice relating
specifically to power
planers
Wait until the blade shaft
17
has com-
pletely stopped moving before you
put the device down.
An exposed blade
shaft may catch on the surface and lead to loss
of control or serious injury.
Do not place your fingers in the planer
debris removal port
3
. Danger of injury
from rotating parts.
Always switch on the device before
placing it against the workpiece.
Oth-
erwise the device could kick back if the planer
blade gets snagged in the workpiece.
When working always keep the sole
9
flat against the workpiece.
Otherwise
you could be injured if the plane tilts.
Never plane over metal objects. Other-
wise the planer blade / blade shaft
17
could
be damaged.
Secure the workpiece. Use clamps or a
vice to grip the workpiece firmly. This is much
safer than holding it with your hand.
Do not plane materials containing
asbestos.
Asbestos is a known carcinogen.
The dust generated while
planing could be hazardous
to health, inflammable or
explosive.
Wear a dust mask and use a suit-
able dust / debris vacuum extraction device.
Some dusts are known carcinogens.
When planing wood for long periods
and in particular when working on
materials that give rise to dusts that
are hazardous to health, the planer
must be connected to a suitable exter-
nal dust extraction device.
Do not use the power planer if its
mains lead is damaged.
Damaged mains
leads increase the risk of electric shock.
Never support yourself by placing
your hands near or in front of the
device or on the workpiece surface.
If you slip you could be injured.
