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

WARNING: When used in Australia or New Zealand, it is recommended that this tool is ALWAYS
supplied via Residual Current Device (RCD) with a rated residual current of 30mA or less.
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

Planer Safety
WARNING: ALWAYS switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
WARNING: A dust mask and dust extraction system are strongly recommended during usage
to protect the operator against dust. Electric planers generate a large quantity of dust and some
materials will produce toxic dust.
WARNING: 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.
WARNING: Hold the power tool by insulated handles or 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.
WARNING: Use clamps or another practical way to secure the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
a) Ensure all nails, screws etc are removed from the workpiece before commencing the
task. Otherwise, damage to the blade or planer could occur, causing a safety hazard
b) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the work area
to prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism
c) Handle blades with caution
WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect the tool from the power supply before accessing blades or guards.
d) Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely tightened before operation
e) Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch on and allow it to run for a while.
Check for vibration or wobbling that could indicate a badly installed, or a poorly balanced
blade
f) Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece and
starting cutting
g) Operate the planer only when controlled by both hands
h) Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face and body
i) Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp wood. Switch off, disconnect from
the power supply and clean out the chips with a stick
WARNING: Never put your finger into the chip chute.
j) ALWAYS switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance
k) ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply when leaving the machine unattended
l) When not in use, disconnect from the power source and place the front base on a
wooden block so that the blades are not in contact with anything
m) Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause
vibration and shorten the service life of planer and blades
