4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The
correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power
tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power
tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons
unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.
Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool's
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these
instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
5) SERVICE

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Specific Safety Rules
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating
cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.

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.

a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body leaves it unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual
before operating planer.
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating
