Residual Risks; Electrical Safety; Mains Plug Replacement - DeWalt DW733 Original Instructions Manual

English
- When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry place and locked up securely, out of reach
of children.
6 . Do not force the tool.
- It will do the job better and safer at the rate to which it was intended.
7 . Use the right tool.
- Do not force small tools to do the job of a heavy duty tool. Do not use tools for purposes
not intended; for example do not use circular saws to cut tree limbs or logs.
8 . Dress properly.
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in moving parts. Non-skid
footwear is recommended when working outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to
contain long hair.
9 . Use protective equipment.
- Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working operations create dust or
flying particles. If these particles might be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant
apron. Wear ear protection at all times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
10 . Connect dust extraction equipment.
- If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collecting equipment,
ensure these are connected and properly used.
11 . Use only the push stick provided by the manufacturer.
- This push stick provides sufficient distance of the hand from the blade.
- Never use a damaged or cut push stick. A damaged push stick may break causing your
hand to slip into the blade.
- If small workpieces are inserted by hand, there is an increased risk of injury. It's
recommended to use the push-stick. Keep your hand at a safe distance from the blade.
12 . Do not abuse the cord.
- Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the cord away from heat,
oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by its cord.
13 . Secure work.
- Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer than using your hand and
it frees both hands to operate the tool.
14 . Do not overreach.
- Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
15 . Maintain tools with care.
- Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles and switches dry, clean and
free from oil and grease.
16 . Disconnect tools.
- When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and
cutters, disconnect tools from the power supply.
17 . Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
- Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and wrenches are removed from the
tool before operating the tool.
18 . Avoid unintentional starting.
- Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the tool is in the "off"
position before plugging in.
19 . Use outdoor extension leads.
- Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged. When the tool is used
outdoors, use only extension cords intended for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
20 . Stay alert.
- Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the tool when you are
tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
21 . Check for damaged parts.
- Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect its
operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced
by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
Have defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre. Do not use the tool if the
switch does not turn it on and off. Never attempt any repairs yourself.

WARNING: The use of any accessory or attachment or performance of any operation
with this tool other than those recommended in this instruction manual may present a
risk of personal injury.
22 . Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
- This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should only be carried out by
qualified persons using original spare parts; otherwise this may result in considerable
danger to the user.
Additional Safety Rules for Thickness Planer
• It is advisable to wear safety goggles when operating.
• Make sure that the machine is placed on an even surface.
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before starting work. Do not use
splintery wood. There is a risk that parts will be ejected, kickback will occur and the knife will
be damaged.
• Any portion of the cutter block not being used for planing shall be adjusted to be guarded.
6
• Ensure the machine is in perfect working condition. Never run the machine without all guards
in place.
• Always use sharp blades of the correct type designed for the material to be cut. Do not use
knives which are blunt as this increases the danger of kickback.
• Keep your hands well clear of the blades.
• Never plane material shorter than 500 mm.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the machine is running.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
size of:
- Width 315 mm by height 152 mm by length 1000 mm.
- Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional roller tables. The roller
stands shall be placed in a disance to the inlet and outlet of the thickness planer to safely
support the workpiece.
• Always keep the push stick in its store place when not in use.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately turn the machine off and disconnect
from the mains.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defective machine.
• When the cutterhead is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, turn the machine
off and disconnect from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the cutterhead
runs free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feed force.
• Never use the machine for working any material other than wood. Examine the workpiece
carefully for faults which may affect the machining process.
• Whenever the situation allows, clamp the machine to a bench.
• Ensure the blades are well sharpened. The blades can be re-sharpened up to 3 times. After that
the blades must be replaced. Use only D
• Before use, check all safety related parts, such as switch, cutterhead, anti-kickback device and
feed speed roller for proper function.
• Adjust the infeed and outfeed tables correctly.
• Wear safety gloves when handling the cutter block and rough material.
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of
the machine.
• To reduce risk of injury, turn the machine off and disconnect from the power source before
installing and removing accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
• Never carry out stopped work (i.e., cuts that do not involve working over the full length of
the workpiece).
• Avoid working badly bowed wood providing inadequate contact with the infeed table.
• Don't step on the tool and extension tables.
• Never stand directly in line with the workpiece. Always position your body on the
side of the workpiece. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone
standing in front and in line with the workpiece.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA or less.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of planers:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot be avoided.
These are:
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating blade.
• Risk of injury when changing the blade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when planing wood, especially oak,
beech and MDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawing wood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters.
• Worn cutter blades.
• Infeed table not correctly adjusted.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate.
Your tool is Class I insulated in accordance with EN61029; therefore earth wire is required.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by D
service organisation.

Mains Plug Replacement

(U.K. & Ireland Only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the old plug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in the plug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutral terminal.
•
Connect the yellow/green lead to the earth terminal.
