SPECIFIC RULES FOR THE PLANER
6. Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
7. Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat motor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.
8. Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are smoother with good quality wood.

10. Never make planing cut deeper than 3/32".
11. For workpieces longer than 24", use material support stands.
12. Do not back the work towards the infeed side.
13. Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit anyone to stand or cross in line of cutterhead's rotation.
Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.
14. Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever planer is not in use.
15. Replace knives as they become damaged or dull.
16. Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance instructions.

ELECTRICAL INFORMATION

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

IN THE EVENT OF A MALFUNCTION OR BREAKDOWN, grounding provides the path of least resistance
for an electric current and reduces the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has an
equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
DO NOT MODIFY THE PLUG PROVIDED. If it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
licensed electrician.
IMPROPER CONNECTION of the equipment grounding conductor can result in electric shock. The conduc-
tor with the green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment grounding conductor. If repair or
replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, DO NOT connect the equipment grounding conductor to a
live terminal.
CHECK with a licensed electrician or service personnel if you do not completely understand the grounding instruc-
tions or whether the tool is properly grounded.
CAUTION: In all cases, make certain the outlet in question is properly grounded. If you are not sure, have a li-
censed electrician check the outlet.
