•
Always use a dust extractor whenever possible.
•
Cloths, rags, ropes, cords, and the like must not lie around in the work area.
•
Remove all nails, screws, etc. from the workpiece. The knives and the entire device can be
damaged if the device is run over a nail or other foreign object. This can also affect security.
•
Handle planer knives very carefully.
•
Make sure that the fastening screws on the planer knives are tight before you start using the
device.
•
Hold the device securely with both hands.
•
Before you bring the device to a workpiece, switch it on and let it run for a moment. See if the
device is vibrating or jiggling abnormally, which could indicate that the planer knives are improp-
erly attached or misaligned.
•
Do not start planing until the planer knives have reached their highest speed.
•
Maintain a minimum distance of 200
mm between the device and your face and body during
operation.
•
Switch off the device before making any adjustments and wait until the planer knives have com-
pletely stopped.
•
Never insert your finger into the cutting gap. Chips could get stuck in it when you work on damp
wood. Remove chips from the gap with a swab, but only after you have switched off the device
and pulled the plug.
•
Do not leave a running machine unattended. Only operate it if it is held with both hands.
•
If you leave the planing machine, first turn it off and place the front plate on a block of wood so
that the planer knives do not touch any objects.
•
Always replace both planer knives at the same time, otherwise there will be an imbalance be-
tween the old and the new knife, which will cause vibrations. This shortens the life of the planer
knives and the device itself.
WARNING!
Before connecting an electrical device to the power supply (via a wall socket,
etc.), ensure that the voltage of the source corresponds to the voltage indicated on the name-
plate of the device.
If the power source has a higher voltage than that stated on the rating plate, the
user could be seriously injured and the device could be seriously damaged. If in doubt, do not plug in
the plug. If the power source has a voltage lower than that indicated on the nameplate, the motor will be
damaged.
•
The device may only be used for its stated purposes. Any other use is incorrect. In this case, it
is not the manufacturer but the user who accepts all responsibility for damage and injuries.
•
To be able to use the device properly, you must observe the safety regulations, the assembly
instructions, and the operating instructions that you will find in these operating instructions. Eve-
ryone operating or maintaining this device must be familiar with the operating instructions and
be aware of the possible dangers. Children and frail people are not allowed to operate the de-
vice. Children must always be supervised when near the area in which the device is being op-
erated. You must also adhere to the accident prevention regulations that apply to the work area.
The same applies to general rules on health and safety at work.
•
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible if damage or injuries are caused by structurally
modified devices.
•
Even if the device is operated in accordance with all instructions and regulations, certain resid-
ual dangers cannot be avoided. The structure and design of the device can result in the following
dangers:
◦
hearing damage if you do not wear hearing protection;
◦
dangers arising if the plug is not pulled out before adjustments or maintenance, including
replacing the planer knives and adjusting the planing depth;
◦
cuts from touching the planer knives;
◦
cuts caused by reaching under the base of the machine when it is in operation and touching
the planer knives;
◦
injuries from kickback of the workpiece and its parts;
◦
injuries from parts of the planer knives being thrown around;
◦
injuries that occur when the device is used outdoors in the rain or in a damp environment
(after the rain) or near highly flammable liquids or gases;
◦
injuries that occur when the work area is not properly lit.
