•
Remove setting tools before starting up an electrical device. A key left on a rotating part of the
device could cause injury.
•
Do not lean too far. Make sure to have a secure stance and always keep your balance. This
gives you better control of the device in an unexpected situation.
•
Dress appropriately. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, parts of clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair can be caught in
these parts.
•
If the device has a dust extraction and collection device, ensure that it is properly connected
and used. Use of such a device can reduce dust-related hazards.
Safety of use and care
•
Do not apply excessive force to the device. Use the appropriate device for the task to do. The
right device works better and more safely when used in the performance range that it has been
made for.
•
Do not use an electrical device if it cannot be switched on and off using the switch. A device
that cannot be switched on and off at the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
•
Pull the power plug or disconnect the device from the battery before making settings, replacing
attachments, or storing the device. These precautions reduce the risk of the device starting up
unintentionally.
•
Store unused electrical devices out of children’s reach and do not allow anyone not familiar with
it to use it. Electrical devices in the hands of inexperienced users can be dangerous.
•
Check your electrical devices regularly. Find moving parts that are improperly seated or
jammed, broken parts, and any other condition that could affect the proper operation of the
device. A damaged electrical device must be repaired before further use. Many accidents occur
due to poorly maintained devices.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained knives with sharp cutting edges do not
get stuck so easily and are easier to control.
•
Always use the electrical device, its attachments, and other related parts in accordance with
these instructions and consider the working conditions and the work to be carried out. Using an
electrical device for work for which it is not intended can be dangerous.
Maintenance
Have the electrical device serviced by a specialist. Only identical spare parts may be used for repairs.
This maintains the operational safety of the device.
Special safety instructions for the operation of the electric planing machine
•
Always wait until the device has come to a complete standstill before you put it down. An ex-
posed knife can drill into its support surface and lead to it being no longer controllable and
causing serious injuries.
•
Hold the device by the insulated gripping surfaces when performing work during which the
planer knives could hit a hidden electrical line or the electrical cable of the device. If the planer
knives cut into a live wire, the exposed metal parts of the device are also energised and could
give the user an electric shock.
•
Secure the workpiece to a solid surface with the help of clamps or in some other way. If you
hold the workpiece with your hand or pressed against your body, it will begin to wobble, leading
to a loss of control.
•
Always wear eye and ear protection and put on a dust mask.
•
Always completely unwind a cable from the cable drum so that it does not heat.
•
If you need an extension cord, make sure that it has the correct current range for the electrical
device and that it is electrically safe.
•
Long continuous use of an electrical device can make metal parts and attachments very hot.
•
Always switch off the planing machine before putting it down.
•
Do not use excessive force on the planing machine. Let it do the work at the speed that it is
designed for. If the machine is overused by putting too much pressure on it, the motor will slow
down, the planing will become inefficient, and the device could even be damaged.
