General power tool safety warnings
WARNING:
Read all safety warnings, instruc-
tions, illustrations and specifications provided with this
power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-oper-
ated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
Planer Safety Warnings
1. Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface lead-
ing to possible loss of control and serious injury.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces,
because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting
a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power
tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding
the workpiece by your hand or against the body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
6.
7. Be sure the blade installation bolts are
securely tightened before operation.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
Keep hands away from rotating parts.
9.
10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
11. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Wait until the blade attains full speed before cutting.
13. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
14. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
16. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
17. Use only Makita blades specified in this manual.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator for
the material and application you are working with.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
