Amputation, serious cuts, entanglement, or death can occur from contact with rotating cutterhead
or other moving parts! Flying chips can cause blindness or eye injuries. Workpieces or knives thrown
by cutterhead can strike nearby operator or bystanders with deadly force. To reduce the risk of these
hazards, operator and bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane natural
wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF,
OSB, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials
that can break up inside the planer and be ejected
towards the operator.
LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly around
inside the planer at a high rate of speed during
operation. To avoid injury from flying material, DO
NOT look inside planer during operation.
CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of kick-
back hazards or damage to the machine, do not
exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum
board length and thickness found in the Data Sheet.
Only feed one board at a time.
INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed roller is
designed to pull material into the spinning cut-
terhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement, keep
hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away from the
infeed roller during operation.
FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the risk of
kickback, never start planer with workpiece touch-
ing cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach full speed
before feeding, and do not change feed speed dur-
ing cutting operation.
WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of kick-
back, always make sure workpiece can move com-
pletely across table without rocking or tipping. Use
auxiliary support stands for long stock.
SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or improp-
erly set inserts can become dangerous projectiles or
cause machine damage. Always verify knives/inserts
are secure and properly adjusted before operation.
KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kickback
and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback” occurs dur-
ing the operation when the workpiece is ejected
from the machine at a high rate of speed. Kickback
is commonly caused by poor workpiece selection,
unsafe feeding techniques, or improper machine
setup/maintenance. Kickback injuries typically occur
as follows: (1) operator/bystanders are struck by the
workpiece, resulting in impact injuries (i.e., blindness,
broken bones, bruises, death); (2) operator’s hands
are pulled into blade, resulting in amputation or
severe lacerations.
AVOID CONTACT WITH MOVING PARTS. Never
remove guards/covers or reach inside the planer
during operation or while connected to power. You
could be seriously injured if you accidentally touch
the spinning cutterhead or get entangled in mov-
ing parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust
removal is necessary, turn planer OFF and disconnect
power before clearing.
DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use sharp,
undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or damaged knives/
inserts increase the risk of kickback.
INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of kickback
injuries or machine damage, thoroughly inspect and
prepare the workpiece before cutting. Verify work-
piece is free of nails, staples, loose knots or foreign
material. Workpieces with minor warping should be
jointed first or planed with the cupped side facing
the table.
BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of planer
during the entire operation to avoid getting hit if
kickback occurs.
GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the grain is hard
on the planer and may cause kickback. Plane in the
same direction or at a slight angle with the wood
grain.
