Personal Safety
1 Stay alert, watch what you are doing
and use common sense when operating
a power tool. Do not use tools when tired
or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious
personal injury.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Proper footing
and balance enables better control of the
tool in unexpected situations.
6 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
1 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.
2
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool
for your application. The correct tool will
do the job better and safer at the rate in
which it is designed.
3 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.
4 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.
5 Store idle tools out of reach of children
and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6 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.
7 Check for misalignment or binding of
moving parts, breakage of parts, and
any other condition that may affect
the tools operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using . Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
8 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
1 Tools service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel. Service
or maintenance performed by unqualified
personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2 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.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
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.
WARNING. 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.
The tool must be used only for its prescribed
purpose. Any use other than those
mentioned in this Manual will be considered
a case of misuse. The user and not the
manufacturer shall be liable for any damage
or injury resulting from such cases of misuse.
