CORDLESS PLANER SAFETY
WARNINGS
GEB168-1
1.
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and serious
injury.
2.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding
the workpiece by your hand or against the body leaves
it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
3.
Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should never
be left around the work area.
4.
Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
5.
Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
6.
Be sure the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
7.
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
8.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9.
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, let it
run for a while. Watch for vibration or wobbling
that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
10.
Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
11.
Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
12.
Always switch off and wait for the blades to come
to a complete stop before any adjusting.
13.
Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Chute
may jam when cutting damp wood. Clean out
chips with a stick.
14.
Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
15.
Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
16.
Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.
17.
Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
