piece.
Never operate with the guards not in
place – serious risk of injury!
The jointer fence always has to be
mounted.
Always keep your hands well clear of
the cutter block.
When jointing, use the jointer fence to
provide firm support for the work piece.
Use an auxiliary fence when planing
thin or narrow stock, to keep your
hands at a safe distance from the
cutter block.
Always cover the part of the cutter
block that is not covered by the work
piece with the cutter block guard.
Adjust the cutter block guard exactly to
the dimension of the work piece.
Never reach with your hands under the
cutter block guard when guiding the
work piece!
Plane only stock which rests securely
on the table.
Work pieces shorter than 200mm
require special feeding aids for planing
(e.g. feeding template).
Never plane a work piece if it cannot
be guided with a sufficient distance to
the cutter block.
Do not pull the work piece back over
the unguarded cutter block.
Specifications regarding the maximum
or minimum size of the work piece
must be observed.
Do not remove chips and work piece
parts until the machine is at a complete
standstill.
Always plane the work piece over its

3.3 Remaining hazards

When using the machine according to
regulations some remaining hazards
may still exist
Touching the cutter block in the
machining area can cause injury. For
effective protection the cutter block
guard must always be adapted to the
work piece.
Risk of kickback. Work piece is caught
by the rotating cutter block and thrown
back to the operator.
Thrown work piece parts can lead to
injury.
Drawing-in/trapping hazard by power
feed mechanism.
Squeezing hazard by work piece
power-outfeed.
Sawdust and noise can be health
hazards.
Be sure to wear personal protection
gear such as safety goggles and ear
protection. Use a suitable dust exhaust
system.
The use of incorrect mains supply or a
damaged power cord can lead to
injuries caused by electricity.
