5. DRESS FOR SAFETY:
● Plan ahead to protect your eyes, hands, face
and ears.
● Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties
or jewellery (rings, wrist watches). They can
get caught and draw you into moving parts.
● Wear nonslip footwear.
● Tie back long hair.
● Roll long sleeves above the elbow.
● Noise levels vary widely. To avoid possible
hearing damage, wear ear plugs or muffs
when using the planer for hours at a time.
● Planer can throw foreign objects into your
eyes. This can result in permanent eye
damage. Wear safety goggles (not glasses)
that comply with CSA Standards. Regular
eyeglasses have only impact-resistant lenses.
They are not safety glasses.
● For dusty operations, wear a dust mask along
with safety goggles.
6. INSPECT YOUR WORKPIECE:
● Make sure there are no nails or foreign
objects in the part of the workpiece to be
planed.
7. PLAN YOUR CUT:
● Small or thin workpieces can kickback when
they tip over on the tables or the cutterhead.
● To avoid cutterhead contact or workpiece
kickback, do not plane workpieces shorter
than 5" (127 mm).
● Do not plane wood thinner than 1/2" (13 mm).
● Do not cut freehand. Guide your workpiece
solidly against the fence and table top. Make
sure there in no debris between the workpiece
and its supports.
● Use extra caution with large, small or
awkward workpieces.
● Use extra support (tables, sawhorses, blocks)
if your workpiece is hard to hold down to the
table.
● Do not use another person as additional
support or to help feed, support or pull the
workpiece.
● Do not cut more than one workpiece at a time.
● Do not turn your planer ON before clearing
everything except the workpiece and related
support devices off the table.
8. AVOID ACCIDENTAL STARTING:
● Make sure the switch is OFF before plugging the
planer into a power source.
WHEN THE PLANER IS RUNNING
DO NOT ALLOW FAMILIARITY (GAINED FROM
FREQUENT USE OF YOUR PLANER) TO CAUSE A
CARELESS MISTAKE. REMEMBER THAT A
CARELESS FRACTION OF A SECOND IS ENOUGH
TO CAUSE A SEVERE INJURY.
1. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY:
● Make sure bystanders are clear of the planer.
● Before actually cutting with the planer, let it run
for a while. If it makes an unfamiliar noise or
vibrates, stop immediately. Turn the planer OFF.
Unplug the planer. Do not restart it until finding
and correcting the problem.
2. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL:
● Feed the workpiece into the planer only fast
enough to let the tool cut without bogging down
or jamming.
3. BEFORE FREEING JAMMED MATERIAL:
● Turn the switch OFF.
● Wait for all moving parts to stop.
● Unplug the planer.
4. BEFORE LEAVING THE PLANER:
● Turn the planer OFF.
● Unplug the planer.
● Make the workshop childproof. Lock the shop.
Disconnect master switches. Remove the ON/OFF
switch key. Store it away from children and others
not qualified to use the tool.
