DeWalt DW735X Instruction Manual page 5

• NEVER STAND ON TOOL. Serious injury could occur if the tool
is tipped or if the cutting tool is unintentionally contacted.
• CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use of the tool, a
guard or other part that is damaged should be carefully checked
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.
• DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into planer according to
direction of feed arrows on top of the unit.
• NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN
POWER OFF. Don't leave tool until it comes to a complete stop.
Additional Specifi c Safety Rules for
Planers
• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand
instruction manual before operating planer.
• Always wear eye protection and dust mask if necessary.
• Keep hands away from the underside of the cutter head carriage.
• Never clear clogs, make cutter knife replacement, or any other
repairs/adjustments with unit plugged in.
• Make certain that the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting plug to a power source.
• Be sure that the cutter knives are mounted as described in the
instruction manual and check that all bolts are firmly tightened
before connecting unit to power source.
• To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter block directly with your
hands.
• Keep guards in place and in good working order.
• Stay alert—never operate the unit when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near flammable
substances, in damp or wet locations, or expose to rain.
• Never plane material which is shorter than 12" (304.8 mm).
• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum after
power has been shut off and cutter head has stopped rotating.
• ALWAYS LOCATE PLANER WITH PROPER CLEARANCE ON
THE OUTFEED SIDE of the unit to prevent pinching or binding of
the workpiece against any obstacle.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust
and grit containing metal particles often accumulate on interior
surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury, electric shock or
electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
WARNING: For your own safety, it is recommended that two
people carry this machine or serious injury could result.
WARNING: Always wear proper personal hearing protection
that conforms to ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) during use. Under some
conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may
contribute to hearing loss.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
