Safety Notes

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result 

in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to 

your mainsoperated(corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work area safety

 

 

Electrical safety

 

 

 

 

 

 

Personal safety

 

 

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areasinvite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 

gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dustor fumes.

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose 

control.

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modifythe plug in any way. Do not use any adapter 

plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugs andmatching outlets will reduce risk of 

electric shock.

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces,such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigera-

tors.

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body isearthed or grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a power tool will increase the risk 

of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying,pulling or unplugging the power tool. Keep 

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the 

risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extensioncord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable,use a residual current device (RCD) 

protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common  sense when operating a power tool. Do not 

use a power tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,alcohol or medication. A moment 

of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye  protection. Protective equipment such as dust 

mask,non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protectionused for appropriate conditions will 

reduce personal injuries.

Planer Safety Rules

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is inthe off-position before connecting to power 

source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying power tools with your finger on the 

switch or energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turningthe power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached 

to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance atall times. This enables better control of the 

power tool inunexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from 

moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can becaught in moving parts.

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extractionand collection facilities, ensure these are 

connected and properly used. Use of dust collection can reducedust-related hazards.

Power tool use and care  Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The correct power tool will do thejob better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be 

controlled with the 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 adjustments, changing accessories, or storing 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 misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any 

other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. 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 operations 

different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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.

 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 serious injury.

Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, 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 work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.

Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are  hidden in the work area or call the local utility 

company for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and electric shock. Damaging a 

gas line can lead to explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause an 

electric shock.

Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They could be injured by rotating parts.

Apply the machine to the workpiece only when switched on. Otherwise there is danger of kickback 

when the cutting tool jams in the workpiece.

When working, always hold the planer in such a manner that the planer base plate faces flat on the 

workpiece.

Otherwise the planer can become wedged and lead to injuries.

Never plane over metal objects, nails or screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft can become

Products sold in GB only: Your product is fitted with a BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal 

fuse (ASTA

approved to BS 1362). If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should be cut off and an 

appropriate plug fitted in its place by an authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug 

should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid 

a possible shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains socket elsewhere.

Products sold in AUS and NZ only: Use a residual current device (RCD) with a rated residual current 

of 30 mA or less.

Planer blade adjustment 

1.Your planing surface will end up rough and uneven, unless the blade is set properly and securely. The 

blade must be mounted so that the cutting edge is absolutely level, that is,parallel to the surface of the 

rear base.

Below are some examples of proper and improper settings

A Front base (Movable shoe)     B Rear base (Stationary shoe)

Correct setting                             Although this side view cannot show it, the edges of the blades run 

perfectly parallel to the rear base surface.

Nicks in surface                     Cause: One or both blades fails to have edge parallel to rear base line

Gouging at start                       Cause: One or both blade edges fails to protrude enough in relation to 

rear base line.

Gouging at end                     Cause: One or both blade edges protrudes too far in relation to rear base 

line.

Do not press the On/Off button forcefully without pressing the double safety switch, which may cause 

the On/Off button to break.

After the cutting operation is completed, the support foot can lift the rear side of the planer to prevent 

damage to the blade.

When pushing the planer, the support foot will rotate to the position flush with the work surface. As 

shown above.

Before installing or removing the planer blade,lease turn off the tool power switch and unplug the 

power.

Tighten the blade installation bolts carefully when attaching the blades to the tool. A loose installation 

bolt can be dangerous. Always check to see they are tightened securely.

Handle the blades very carefully. Use gloves or rags to protect your fingers or hands when removing 

or installing the blades.

Use only the TACKLIFE wrench provided to remove or install the blades. Failure to do so may result 

in overtightening or insufficient tightening of the installation bolts. This could cause an injury

To remove the blade on the blade shaft, first turn the machine upside down on the workbench with 

the blade facing the operator, turn the blade shaft by hand to expose the screw, and then remove the 

screw.First use the socket wrench to turn the three hex bolts counterclockwise, and use the hex key 

to turn the two hex socket screws counterclockwise. Then push the blade from the side with a wooden 

stick, to remove the blade from the blade shaft.

To install the blades, first clean out all chips or foreign matter adhering to the drum or blades. Use 

blades of the same dimensions and weight, or drum oscillation/vibration will result, causing poor 

planing action and, eventually, tool breakdown.

Carbide inserts have two cutting edges that can be inverted for use on the other side. When both 

cutting edges are blunt, the blade must be replaced.

Please pay attention, to install the blade in the groove of the cutter shaft, use a hex key to pre-tension 

the three bolts. Then install the blade with a small wooden stick to ensure that the edge of the blade 

is aligned with the backplane. Check this alignment carefully to ensure uniform cutting.Finally, use the 

socket wrench to evenly and evenly tighten all mounting bolts clockwise.

Check the three hex flange head bolts for final tightness.

Repeat procedures 1 - 5 for other blade.

Installing (Pic 1)

insert the boss on the flute tube into the groove of the casing and turn it counter-

clockwise to the position. When disassembling, the flute pipe is rotated in a clockwise direction and 

pulled out.

Installing (Pic 2)

insert the boss on the flute tube into the groove of the casing and turn it clockwise 

to the position. When disassembling, the flute pipe is rotated counterclockwise and pulled out.

To make a stepped cut as shown in the figure, use the edge fence (guide rule).

Draw a cutting line on the workpiece. Insert the edge fence into the hole in the front of the tool. Align 

the blade edge with the cutting line.

Adjust the edge fence until it comes in contact with the side of the workpiece, then secure it by tighten-

ing the screw.

When planing, move the tool with the edge fence flush with the side of the workpiece. Otherwise 

uneven planing may result.

Chamfering
