GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.
5. SERVICE
a) 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.
PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS
1. 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.
2. 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 operator an electric shock.
3. 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.
