e) 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.

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 dierent

from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.

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.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANERS

GENERAL

• This tool should not be used by people under the age of

16 years

• The noise level when working can exceed 85 dB(A);

wear ear protection 4

• Dust from material such as paint containing lead, some

wood species, minerals and metal may be harmful

(contact with or inhalation of the dust may cause allergic

reactions and/or respiratory diseases to the operator or

bystanders); wear a dust mask 5 and work with a

dust extraction device when connectable

• Certain kinds of dust are classied as carcinogenic (such

as oak and beech dust) especially in conjunction with

additives for wood conditioning; wear a dust mask 5

and work with a dust extraction device when

connectable

• Follow the dust-related national requirements for the

materials you want to work with

• SKIL can assure awless functioning of the tool only

when original accessories are used

• Never use the tool when cord is damaged; have it

replaced by a qualied person

• Always disconnect plug from power source before

making any adjustment or changing any accessory

BEFORE USE

• Always check that the supply voltage is the same as the

voltage indicated on the nameplate of the tool (tools with

a rating of 230V or 240V can also be connected to a

220V supply)

• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and

other elements in your workpiece; remove them before

you start working

• Before using the tool check that the knives do not brush

anywhere

• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a

capacity of 16 Amps (U.K. 13 Amps)

• 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)

DURING USE

• Hold 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 shock the operator)

• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool;

direct the cord to the rear, away from the tool

• Keep your ngers away from the rotating knives

• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,

immediately switch o the tool and disconnect the plug

• If the cord is damaged or cut through while working, do

not touch the cord, but immediately disconnect the plug

• If any chip should get jammed in the chip outlet, you

should switch o the motor, ensure that all moving parts

have come to a complete standstill, disconnect the plug,

and remove the jammed chip

AFTER USE

• Wait for the cutter block to stop before setting the

tool down (an exposed knife may engage the surface

leading to possible loss of control and serious injury)

WHEN CONNECTING NEW 3-PIN PLUG (U.K. ONLY):

• Do not connect the blue (= neutral) or brown (= live) wire

in the cord of this tool to the earth terminal of the plug

• If for any reason the old plug is cut o the cord of this tool,

it must be disposed of safely and not left unattended

USE

This planer is equipped with non-grindable knives with

cutting edges on both sides; so if one side has become

blunt, the other side can be used

! switch off the tool and disconnect the plug

- remove guiding devices, if mounted

- take wrench from storage A

- turn tool upside down

- loosen 3 bolts B with wrench (do not remove bolts)

- push knife out of cutter block with piece of wood

- put knife back in cutter block in reversed position, or

use new knife

! groove in knife should match ledge in cutter block

! both knife ends should protrude equally

! ensure that knife end X aligns with edge of foot

(set a ruler flat against housing as illustrated and

use it as a stopper)

- rmly tighten 3 bolts B with wrench

! change/reverse knives in time; only use sharp

knives

! always change/reverse both knives at the same

time

! do not attempt to adjust the knives with cutter

block screws C, which are pre-set at

manufacturing

• Adjusting planing depth 7

- turn knob D to select required depth

- use indicator line E as reference

- always select a shallow planing depth and repeat the

planing and adjusting process until the required depth

is reached

• Dust suction 8

- connect vacuum cleaner to dust port F for optimal dust

pick-up performance
