• Never stand directly in line with either the in-
feed or outfeed sides. Always stand off to one
side of the machine.
• Make sure the workpiece is free from nails,
screws stones and other foreign objects which
could damage the blades.
• Make sure the blades are attached correctly
as described in the instructions.
• Use caution when handling the blades and
cutterhead assembly. The blades are sharp and
can easily cut your hand.
• Allow the cutterhead to reach full speed be-
fore using.

ANTI-KICKBACK PAWLS
• Device which, when properly installed and
maintained, is designed to stop the workpiece
from being kicked back toward the front of
the blade during a planer operation.
AVOIDING KICKBACK
• Always use the correet blade depth setting.
lnspect the work for knots or nails before be-
ginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with
a hammer, never cut into a loose knot or nail.
• Always use clear, sharp, and property-set
blades.
• Never make planer with dull blades.
• To avoid pinching the blade, support the
work properly before beginning a planer op-
eration.
• When maklng a planer operatlon, use steady,
even pressure, never force to plane.
• Do not plane wet or warped timber.
• Always hold your workpiece firmly with both
hands, keep your body in a balanced position
to be ready to resist kickback. Never stand di-
rectly in line with timber.
ADJUSTMENTS
ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT
WARNING: Never plane more than 3mm in
one pass and never attempt to plane a board
under 127mm in length. Always wear a protec-
tive face shield.
• To adjust the depth of cut, turn the cut-
terhead raising hand crank in the direction
marked on top of the planer. The depth of cut
adjustment can be read from the depth scale.
The adjustment gradation is 2mm per revolu-
tion of the hand crank.
• Always start your work by making a light
planing cut. The depth of cut on subsequent
passes may be increased by up to 3mm, but re-
member that a light cut creates a finer finish
than a heavier cut.
• The thickness of timber running through the
planer is controlled by the distance you adjust
the cutting blade from the table.
- Do not plane timber which is less than 5mm
thick.
- Do not plane timber which is thicker than
153mm.
