MAKE SURE THE MACHINE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND UNPLUGGED FROM THE POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORM-
ING ANY MAINTENANCE OR ADJUSTMENTS.
SELECTING BOARDS SUITABLE FOR PLANING
This planer is not intended (and should not be used) to
plane any material other than solid wood. The work-
piece should always be fed through the planer in the
general direction of the grain in the wood, A .
Before being fed through the planer all lumber should
be inspected for debris and foreign objects such as
staples or nails. Foreign objects stuck to, or embedded
in your workpiece can be ejected from the machine at
high speed and cause serious injury or damage cutter
knives. Make sure to remove all such foreign objects
from the wood before running it through the planer.
Select lumber carefully and avoid workpieces with
loose or protruding knots. Workpieces that are twisted,
severely deformed or warped should also be avoided. Warped, twisted, damaged or fragile stock runs an
increased risk of jamming in or damaging the machine or cutters. There is also a much greater risk of injury to
the operator or bystanders from kickback, where the workpiece is forcefully or violently ejected from the machine
due to a jam, whenever working with such damaged or warped wood.

LIMITATIONS LISTED BELOW, FIND ANOTHER SAFER WAY TO PERFORM THE REQUIRED TASK.
