12. Do not plane boards with loose knots, nails or any foreign material in the workpiece. Irregular, or
warped stock should be jointed first on one side before planing a parallel surface.
13. If the operator leaves the machine area for any reason, the planer should be turned "off" and the
cutterhead should come to a complete stop before their departure. In addition, if the operation is
complete, they should clean the planer and the work area. NEVER clean the planer with power "on"
and never use hands to clear sawdust and debris; use a brush or air hose.
14. Use only genuine Oliver Machinery factory authorized replacement parts and accessories; otherwise
the warranty and guarantee is null and void.
15. Do not use this Oliver planer for other than its intended use. If used for other purposes, Oliver
disclaims any real or implied warranty and holds itself harmless for any injury or damage which may
result from that use.
16. Do not operate this machine while under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any medication.
17. This machine is deigned for planing wood products only. Do not use to plane any kind of substance
other then wood.
18. Never start the planer while a workpiece is in contact with the cutterhead or knives.
19. Always feed workpiece against the rotation of the cutterhead.
20. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paint.
•
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products.
•
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 specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
