Original instructions
1. Declaration of Conformity
We, being solely responsible, hereby declare that
these planers, identified by type and serial number
*1), meet all relevant requirements of directives *2)
and standards *3). Technical documents for *4) -
see page 3.
2. Specified Conditions of Use
The planer is ideal for planing and rabetting of wood
and for chamfering of the edges of wood and wood-
like materials.
The user bears sole responsibility for any damage
caused by inappropriate use.
Generally accepted accident prevention
regulations and the enclosed safety information
must be observed.
3. General Safety Information
For your own protection and for the
protection of your electrical tool, pay
attention to all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING – Read all safety warnings,
instructions, illustrations and
specifications provided with this power tool.
Failure to follow all instructions listed below may
result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future
reference. Pass on your electrical tool only
together with these documents.
4. Special Safety Instructions
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.
Hold the power tool by insulated gripping
surfaces, 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.
Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
Check the workpiece for foreign bodies. Remove
nails or other metal parts from the workpiece to be
processed.
Guide the tool against the workpiece only when it is
switched on. The planer's sole must make secure
contact with the workpiece. Otherwise there is a risk
of rebound from jamming the tool in the workpiece.
Always get a secure grip of the machine when
switching on.
Always guide the machine with both hands on the
handles (2) and (6). Do not operate the machine in
a holder.
Danger of injury from sharp edges of the planer
knives.
Pay attention to the rotating cutter. Keep in mind
that the motor and thus also the cutter continue to
run after switching off the tool.
Do not put your body and hands near the cutter
drum.
Do not reach into the chip ejection mechanism.
Reverse/replace blunt planer knifes in due time and
always in pairs: worn edges of the planer knifes
increase the risk of kickback and reduce the quality
of the planing work. Sharp planer knifes provide
good cutting output and reduce load on the
machine.
Put the planer down onto the stand (7). If the stand
is defective, have it repaired.
Pull the plug out of the socket before making any
adjustments, changing tools, carrying out
maintenance or cleaning.
Reducing dust exposure:
Some of the dust created using this power tool
may contain chemicals known to cause
cancer, allergic reaction, respiratory disease, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some of these
substances include: lead (in paint containing lead),
mineral dust (from bricks, concrete etc.), additives
used for wood treatment (chromate, wood
preservatives), some wood types (such as oak or
beech dust), metals, asbestos.
The risk from exposure to such substances will
depend on how long you or people nearby are
exposed to them.
Do not let particles enter the body.
Do the following to reduce exposure to these
substances: ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the particles generated at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use suitable accessories for special work. In this
way, fewer particles enter the environment in an
uncontrolled manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
