20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of the
blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of elec-
tric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug
(one blade is wider than the other). This plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the
plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified
electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not
change the plug in any way.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES
DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to planer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely
or incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal
injury.
Wear eye protection.
1.
2. Make sure that all covers are installed in place
before operation.
3. Handle the blades very carefully.
Check the blades carefully for cracks or dam-
4.
age before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blades immediately.
Tighten the planer blade installation bolts
5.
securely.
6. Remove nails and clean the workpiece before
cutting. Nail, sand or foreign matter can cause
blade damage.
7. Do not wear gloves during operation.
8. Do not remove chips from the chip chute when
the motor is running. Clean out chips after the
blades come to a complete stop. Always use a
stick etc. when cleaning them out.
9. Do not leave the tool running.

VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool
to a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure
the voltage supplied is the same as that specified
on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with
voltage greater than that specified for the tool can
result in SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as
damage to the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG
IN THE APPLIANCE. Using a power source with
voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to
the motor.
USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to
carry the current your product will draw. An under-
sized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. Table 1 shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gage. The smaller the gage number, the
heavier the cord.
