5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical replacement
parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
Additional safety rules
for electric planers
▪
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 seri-
ous injury.
▪
Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, when performing an operation where the cut-
ting accessory may contact hidden wiring or its
own cord.
Cutting accessory contacting a “live” wire
may make exposed metal parts of the power tool “live”
and could give the operator an electric shock.
▪
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
▪ ▪ Always wear eye and ear protection and use a dust
mask.
▪ Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid potential
overheating.
▪
When an extension cable is required, you must en-
sure that it has the right ampere rating for your power
tool and is in safe electrical condition.
▪
After long working periods, external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
▪
If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your
work.
▪
Always switch off before you put the planer down.
▪
Do not force the planer: let the tool do the work at a
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much
pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in
inefficient planing and possible damage to the planer
motor.
▪
Always use a dust extraction system where possible.
▪
Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
▪
Remove all nails, screws and other objects from the
workpiece. You can damage the blade and the tool
by cutting into a nail or other foreign object. It can also
present a safety hazard.
▪
Handle the blades very carefully.
▪
Be sure that the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
▪
Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
▪
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
▪
Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, switch
on and let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or wob-
bling that could indicate poor installation or a poorly
balanced blade.
▪
Make sure that a blade is not in contact with the work-
piece when you switch the machine on.
▪
Wait until the blades attain full speed before cutting.
▪
Operate the tool at least 200mm away from your face
and body.
▪
Always switch off and wait until the blades have come
to a complete standstill before attempting any adjust-
ments
▪
Never stick your finger into the chip chute. Shavings
may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Clean
out the chips with a stick but only when the tool has
been turned off and unplugged from the power point.
▪
Do not leave the machine running unattended. Oper-
ate the tool only when controlled by both hands.
▪
Always switch off and wait for the cutter to stop
before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible loss
of control and serious injury.
▪
When leaving the planer, switch off and set it with the
front base up on a wooden block so that the blades
are not in contact with anything.
▪
Always change the three blades at the same time,
otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration
and shorten the blade and tool life.
WARNING:
Before connecting a tool to a
power source (mains socket power point receptacle,
outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same
as that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power
source with a voltage greater than that specified for the
tool can result in serious injury to the user, as well as
damage to the tool.
▪
If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power
source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating
is harmful to the motor.
▪
The tool must be used only for its prescribed purpose.
Any use other than those mentioned in this Manual
will be considered a case of misuse. The user and not
the manufacturer shall be liable for any damage or in-
jury resulting from such cases of misuse.
▪
To use this tool properly, you must observe the safety
regulations, the assembly instructions and the oper-
ating instructions to be found in this Manual. All per-
sons who use and service the machine have to be
acquainted with this Manual and must be informed
about its potential hazards. Children and frail people
must not use this tool. Children should be supervised
at all times if they are in the area in which the tool is
being used. It is also imperative that you observe the
accident prevention regulations in force in your area.
The same applies for general rules of occupational
health and safety.
▪
The manufacturer shall not be liable for any changes
made to the tool nor for any damage resulting from
such changes.
Even when the tool is used as prescribed it is not pos-
sible to eliminate all residual risk factors. The following
hazards may arise in connection with the tool’s construc-
tion and design:
▪
Damage to hearing if effective hearing protection is
not worn.
▪
Always remove the plug from the mains socket before
making any adjustments or maintenance, including
changing the blades and adjusting the depth of cut.
▪
Contact with the blades.
▪
Reaching under the base whilst the tool is running and
making contact with the blade.
