ADDITIONAL SAFETY FOR ELECTRIC PLANERS
• Ensure all nails, screws etc are removed from the workpiece before
commencing the task. Otherwise, damage to the blade or planer could
occur, causing a safety hazard.
• Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the
work area to prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism
• If possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
• Handle blades with caution.
• Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before
operation.
• Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch on and allow it to run for a
while. Check for vibration or wobbling that could indicate a badly installed,
or a poorly balanced blade.
• Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the
workpiece and starting cutting.
• Operate the planer only when controlled by both hands.
• Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face and body.
• Always switch off and allow the cutter to stop before setting the planer
down. An exposed moving cutter may engage the surface leading to
possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Switch off and
unplug the power source and clean out the chips with a stick. WARNING:
Never put your finger into the chip chute.
• Always switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill
before attempting any adjustments.
• When leaving the machine unattended, disconnect from the power source.
• When not in use, disconnect from the power source and place the front
base on a wooden block so that the blades are not in contact with
anything.
• Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten the service life of planer and blades.
• Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten the service life of planer and blades.
