Guidelines for using extension cords
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 undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in loss of power and overheating. The table below shows the correct size to be used according to cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. When in doubt, use a heavier cord. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord
or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it.
Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp/wet areas.
Use a separate electrical circuit for your tools. This circuit must not be less than a #12 wire and should be protected
with a 15 A time-delayed fuse. Before connecting the motor to the power line, make sure the switch is in the OFF
position and the electric current is rated the same as the current stamped on the motor nameplate. Running at a
lower voltage will damage the motor.
WARNING: This tool must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock.

CIRCUIT BREAKER
The planer is equipped with a motor pro-
tection device-circuit breaker. The breaker
will automatically shut the planer off when
excessive current is consumed. If the
breaker is tripped, turn the planer off and
reset the circuit by pressing the button.
CAUTION: Be sure to turn the planer
off prior to resetting the circuit breaker to
avoid unintentional start-up of the planer.
