6. Clearing Jams. To avoid serious personal injury from rotating knives, ALWAYS STOP the
planer and disconnect power before removing a jammed piece part. Always follow proper
lockout/tagout procedures.
7. Using Quality Stock. Inspect the stock over carefully that you intend to plane. NEVER
plane a board that has loose knots, staples, or nails in it. DO NOT plane a piece of stock if
you have any doubts about its structural integrity.
8. Remove any adjusting tools. Before operating the machine, make sure any adjusting tools
have been removed.
9. Dull / Damaged Knives. Use only sharp, undamaged knives to avoid unnecessary kickback
of the piece part. Dull and damaged knives will also affect cut quality.
10. Looking Inside Planer. Wood chips fly around inside the planer at a high rate of speed as it
is running. To avoid possible injury from flying debris, DO NOT look inside the planer while it
is running.
11. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
12. Overloading machine. By overloading the machine you may cause injury from flying parts.
DO NOT exceed the specified machine capacities.
13. Dress appropriate. DO NOT wear loose fitting clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in
moving machine parts. Protective clothing and steel toe shoes are recommended when
using machinery. Wear a restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
14. Use eye and ear protection. Always wear ISO approved impact safety goggles
15. Do not overreach. Maintain proper footing and balance at all times. DO NOT reach over or
across a running machine.
16. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense. DO NOT operate any tool or
machine when you are tired.
17. Grain Direction. There is an increased chance of kickback when planing end grain or
against the grain. This could also produce chatter and excessive chip out of the material.
18. Observe work area conditions. DO NOT use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. DO NOT use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
19. DO NOT bypass or defeat any safety interlock systems.
20. Know the location of the ON - OFF switch and the "E" - STOP button.
21. Keep visitors a safe distance from the work area.
22. In-feed Roller Clearance. The in-feed roller is designed to pull material into the rotating
cutterhead. To avoid serious personal injury, keep hands, jewelry, clothing, and long hair
away from the in-feed roller while operating the machine.
23. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. DO NOT let them
handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
