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.
Note: The above warning applies only to planers without an automatic
closing guard.
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.
