PLANER SAFETY RULES
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 con
-
tact 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 se
-
cure 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 utili
-
ty 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 saw dust ejector with
your hands. They could be injured by rotat
-
ing parts.
Apply the machine to the workpiece only
when switched on. Otherwise there is dan
-
ger 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 fac
-
es flat on the workpiece. Otherwise the plan
-
er can become wedged and lead to injuries.
Never plane over metal objects, nails or
screws. The planer blade and the blade shaft
can become damaged and lead to increased
vibrations.
Secure the workpiece. A workpiece clamped
with clamping devices or in a vice is held
more secure than by hand.
WARNING:
MISUSE or failure to follow the
safety rules stated in
this instruction manual may
cause serious personal
injury.
