OPERATION
SAFETY
RULES
WARNING:
For your own safety,
read all of the instructions
and precautions

complying
with United
States
ANSI
Z87.1
(shown
on package)
before
commencing
power
tool operation.
CAUTION:
Always
observe
the following
safety
precautions:
•
Know
general
power tool safety.
Make sure all precautions
are understood
(see
pages
2 and 6).
•
Whenever
adjusting
or replacing
any parts
on planer,
turn
switch
OFF and remove
plug from power
source.
•
Make
sure all guards
are properly
attached
and securely
fastened.
•
Make
sure all moving
parts
are free from interference.
•
Always
wear
eye protection
or face shield.
•
Make
sure blades
are aligned
and properly
attached
to
cutterhead.
•
Do not plug in planer
unless
switch
is in OFF position.
After turning
switch
on, allow planer
to come
to full
speed
before
operating.
•
Keep hands
clear
of all moving
parts.
•
Do not force
cut. Slowing
or stalling
will overheat
motor.
Allow
automatic
feed
to function
properly.
•
Use quality
lumber.
Blades
last longer
and cuts are
smoother
with good
quality
wood.
•
Do not plane
material
shorter
than
15", narrower
than 3/4",
wider
than
13" or thinner
than
W'.
•
Never make
planing
cut deeper
than 3/j,.
•
Maintain
the proper
relationships
of infeed
and outfeed
table
surfaces
and cutterhead
blade
path.
•
Do not back the work toward
the infeed table.
•
Take precautions
against
kickback.
Do not permit
anyone
to stand
or cross in line of cutterhead's
rotation.
Kickback
or thrown
debris
will travel
in this direction.
•
Turn switch
off and disconnect
power
whenever
planer
is
not in use.
•
Replace
blades
as they
become
damaged
or dull.
•
Keep planer
maintained.
Follow
maintenance
instructions
(see pages
9-12).
WARNING:
Some
dust created
by power-sanding,
sawing,
grinding,
drilling
and other construction
activities
contains
chemicals
known

birth
defects
or other
reproductive
harm.
Some
examples
of these
chemicals
are:
•
Lead from
lead-based
paints.
•
Crystalline
silica from bricks
and cement
and other
masonry
products.
•
Arsenic
and chromium
from chemically-treated
lumber.
Your risk from these
exposures
vary, depending
on how often
you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure
to these
chemicals:
work in a well ventilated
area and work with approved
safety equipment.
Always
wear
MSHA/NIOSH
approved,
properly
fitting face mask or respirator
when
using such tools.
