Drill Master 91062 Owner's Manual & Safety Instructions page 4

5. 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.
6. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
Service
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
planer Safety Warnings
1. 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.
2. Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces only, because the cutter may 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.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against your body
leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of control.
4. Before every use, confirm that both knives are
properly aligned and both knives are secured fully.
Then, start tool off of workpiece and
allow tool to reach full speed.
If tool vibrates or becomes noisy
SWITcH IT OFF IMMEDIATELy,
unplug it and allow it to come to a complete stop.
Adjust and tighten knives to correct imbalance.
If vibration or noise persists, do not use tool until
inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
5. Remove all foreign objects, such as nails or metal
fragments, from the workpiece before planing.
6. Do not use to plane non-wood materials.
7. Knives are very sharp and are double-edged!
Wear heavy-duty leather work gloves at all times
when replacing, adjusting, or handling a knife.
8. Change both knives at once. Changing knives
individually could result in imbalance.
9. Do not unclog dust chute with
tool plugged in or blades moving.
Do not insert your finger into the dust chute.

7. 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.
10. Connect dust chute to bag or dust collection system
(not included) before use. Do not use without
a dust bag or dust collection system.
11. Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool.
These carry important safety information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
12. Avoid unintentional starting.
Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
13. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
14. When using a handheld power tool,
maintain a firm grip on the tool with both
hands to resist starting torque.
15. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged
into an electrical outlet. Turn off the tool, and
unplug it from its electrical outlet before leaving.
16. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.
17. People with pacemakers should consult their
physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in
close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause
pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.
In addition, people with pacemakers should:
• Avoid operating alone.
• Do not use with Trigger locked on.
• Properly maintain and inspect to avoid
electrical shock.
• Properly ground power cord. Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented
– it prevents sustained electrical shock.
