General Power Tool Safety Warnings

 

WARNING! 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 mains-operated (corded) power tool or 
battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) 

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

b) 

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 

dust or fumes.

c) 

Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. 

Distractions can 

cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY

a) 

Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do 
not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. 

Unmodified plugs 

and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) 

Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, 
ranges and refrigerators. 

There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is 

earthed or grounded.

c) 

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. 

Water entering a power tool 

will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) 

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 or moving parts. 

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock. 

e) 

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for 
outdoor use. 

Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock. 

f) 

If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault 
circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply.

 Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric 

shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY

a) 

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.

b) 

Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. 

Protective 

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection 
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) 

Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the 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 energizing power tools that have 
the switch on invites accidents.

WALT power tools: the yellow and black color scheme, the “D” shaped 

air intake grill, the array of pyramids on the handgrip, the kit box configuration, and the array of lozenge-shaped humps on 
the surface of the tool.

d) 

Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. 

A wrench 

or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.

e) 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. 

This enables 

better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) 

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

Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught 

in moving parts. 

g) 

If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection 
facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. 

Use of dust collection can 

reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE

a) 

Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. 

The 

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

b) 

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.

c) 

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.

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. 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.

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.

Additional Safety Rules for Planers

  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 operator 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.

•  To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual before 

operating planer.

•  Always wear eye protection and dust mask. 
•  Be sure the voltage agrees with specific data on the nameplate.
•  Make certain that the switch is in the off position before connecting plug to a power source.
•  Be sure to switch OFF immediately if tool is jammed in work.
•  Be sure tool is set for correct depth before turning switch to ON.
•  Be sure to use specified replacement parts only.
•  Be sure tool is disconnected from power source when cleaning or making adjustments to 

the tool.

•  Be sure to maintain tool with care. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing 

accessories.

•  Stay alert – never operate the unit when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or 

medication.

•  Be sure to store tool in a clean dry place after disconnecting from power source.
•  Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near flammable substances, in damp or 

wet locations, or expose to rain. 

•  Be sure that the blades are mounted as described in the instruction manual and check that 

all screws are firmly tightened before connecting unit to power source.

•  DO NOT lay tool down on shoe when the blades are exposed. This can chip the blades.
•  Keep side discharge chute unobstructed at all times.
•  Never reach under the tool for any reason unless it is turned off and UNPLUGGED. BLADES 

ARE EXPOSED AND EX TREMELY SHARP.

•  Use this tool for working with wood and wood products only.
•  Never operate without securely holding the front handle.
•  Always operate planer with two hands.
•  Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with great care.
•  Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. 
• 

Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

 Loose clothes, jewelry or 

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

• 

An extension cord must have adequate wire size (AWG or American Wire Gauge) 
for safety. 

The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cable, 

that is 16 gauge has more capacity than 18 gauge. An undersized cord will cause a drop in 
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. When using more than one extension 
to make up the total length, be sure each individual extension contains at least the minimum 
wire size. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and 
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge 
number, the heavier the cord.

Not Recommended

 WARNING:  ALWAYS 

use safety glasses. Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. 

Also use face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED SAFETY 
EQUIPMENT:

•  ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
•  ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
•  NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.

 WARNING: 

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other 

construction activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth 
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•  lead from lead-based paints,
•  

crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and 

•  arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To 
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved 
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic 
particles.
• 

Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, 
and other construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas 
with soap and water. 

Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may 

promote absorption of harmful chemicals. 

 WARNING: 

Use of this tool can generate and/or disperse dust, which may cause serious and 

permanent respiratory or other injury. Always use NIOSH/OSHA approved respiratory protection 
appropriate for the dust exposure. Direct particles away from face and body.

WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection that conforms to ANSI 

S12.6 (S3.19) during use.
