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 remove
the battery pack, if detachable, 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 and accessories. 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.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces do
not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) 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.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
• 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 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.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support
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.
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has
to be done by the manufacturer or their agent in order to
avoid a safety hazard.
EN
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be
supplied via a residual current device with a rated residual
current of 30mA or less.

WARNING!
• Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can
generate dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood contains
preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which
can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials
extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise
skin contact.
IMPORTANT
• Use suitable detectors to determine if utility lines are
hidden in the work area or call the local utility company
for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead to fire and
electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to explosion.
Penetrating a water line causes property damage or may cause
an electric shock.
• Do not reach into the chip ejector with your hands. They
could be injured by rotating parts.
• 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.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully.
a) Check voltage of the tool rating label matches the voltage
of the mains supply
b) 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
c) Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are
removed from the work area. To prevent entanglement in the
planer mechanism
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
and is correctly held before switching ON
h) Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your face
and body
i) Wait until the blades reach full speed before cutting
j) 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. Never put your finger into the chip chute
k) ALWAYS switch OFF and allow the blades to come to a
complete standstill before attempting any adjustments,
cleaning or carrying out maintenance
l) ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply when leaving
the machine unattended
m) 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
n) Replace all blades at the same time. Otherwise, the resulting
imbalance will cause vibration and shorten the service life of the
planer and bladesCutting tool safety
