n NEVER PUT YOUR FINGERS into the dust hood or under
the cutter guard.
n ALLOW THE CUTTER HEAD to reach full speed before
using the planer.
n REPLACEMENT PARTS. All repairs, whether electrical or
mechanical, should be made at your nearest authorized
service center.
n DO NOT attempt to turn cutter head with hands.
n IF ANY PART OF THIS TOOL IS MISSING or should
break, bend, or fail in any way, or should any electrical
component fail to perform properly, shut off the power
switch, remove the plug from the power source and
have damaged, missing, or failed parts replaced before
resuming operation.
WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals, work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks
that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
5
n ALWAYS STAY ALERT! Do not allow familiarity (gained
from frequent use of your planer) to cause a careless
mistake. ALWAYS REMEMBER that a careless fraction
of a second is sufficient to inflict serious injury.
n MAKE SURE THE WORK AREA HAS AMPLE LIGHTING
to see the work and that no obstructions will interfere with
safe operation BEFORE performing any work using your
planer.
n ALWAYS TURN OFF TOOL before disconnecting it, to
avoid accidental starting when reconnecting to power
supply.
n SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. Refer to them
frequently and use to instruct other users. If you loan
someone this tool, loan them these instructions also.
