• Do not operate the planer when tired, distracted or under
the effects of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs
reflexes or alertness.
• Ensure your working area is well lit and free of debris.
• Keep children and visitors at a safe distance when the
planer is in operation. Do not permit them to operate
the planer.
• Prevent unauthorized or unsupervised use by child
proofing and tamper proofing your shop and all
machinery with locks, master electrical switches and
switch keys.
• Stay alert! Give your work your undivided attention. Even a
momentary distraction can lead to serious injury.
• Fine particulate dust is a carcinogen that can be hazardous
to health. Work in a well-ventilated area and whenever
possible use a dust collector. Protect your face, eyes,
ears, lungs and body with suitable personal protective
equipment.
• Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, bracelets, necklaces or
other jewelry while the planer is in operation.
• Remove adjusting wrenches, tools and other clutter from
the machine and the table surface before operating the
machine.
• Keep hands well away from the cutterhead and all moving
parts. Feed stock with a push stick, and use a brush, not
your hands, to clear away chips and dust.
• Make sure carbide inserts are correctly and securely
installed in the cutterhead.
• Inspect stock and remove all foreign objects before
planing. Make sure that stock is clean and free of dirt,
nails, staples, rocks or any other foreign objects that could
damage the carbide inserts. Only process natural solid
wood boards. Never plane MDF, particle board, plywood,
laminates or any synthetic materials.
• Do not force material. The planer performs best when
working at the manufacturer's intended rate.
• To minimize the risk of injury from kickback, which
occurs when the workpiece is ejected by the force of the
cutterhead, use proper feeding technique and stand to one
side, out of the path of a potential kickback.
• Avoid working from awkward or off balance positions. Do
not overreach and keep both feet on floor.
• Select appropriate feed speed for the stock being planed:
Use high speed for soft wood and slow for hardwood.
• Place stock firmly against the table and use in-feed and
out-feed support if stock is too long.
• Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must
be removed for maintenance or cleaning, properly re-
attach it before using the planer again.
• Never leave the planer unattended while it is running or
with the power on.
• Never stand on machinery. Serious injury could result
if the planer is tipped over or if the belt or disc is
unintentionally contacted.
• Always disconnect the machine from the power source
before changing inserts; performing maintenance, cleaning
or servicing; or leaving the machine unattended.
• Ensure the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in
the power cord.
• Make sure the machine is properly grounded. If equipped
with a three-prong plug, use it with a three-pole
receptacle. Never remove the third prong.
• Do not use this planer for other than its intended use.
