a) Check the 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 planer and blades

Cutting Tool Safety

WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power

point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as

that speciﬁed on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage

greater than that speciﬁed for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,

and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power

source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.

Use the correct cutting tool

• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is

suitable without checking the product literature before use

Protect your eyes

• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools

• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this product;

normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter

Protect your hearing

• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB

Protect your breathing

• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks

Protect your hands

• Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a

suitable push stick for shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools

Be aware of others around you

• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity

of the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also

provided with suitable protective equipment

Hidden objects

• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects

before cutting

• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you

know that the cutting tool ﬁtted to your machine is suitable for the job

• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel

lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work

area thoroughly before proceeding

Beware of projected waste

• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the

cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in the

work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste

Fitting cutting tools

• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely ﬁtted and check that

wrenches / adjusters are removed prior to use

• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine

• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools

• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly ﬁtted

• Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening,

these may include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened

alloys typically containing tungsten

• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the

blade manufacturer’s instructions. These may include a limited number of

times the blade can be resharpened

• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and

replaced immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and

suitability for use

• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are

not suitable for, blades should be replaced immediately

Direction of feed

• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement

of the blade or cutter

Beware of heat

• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to

change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely

Control dust / swarf

• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a ﬁre hazard, and some

metal swarf is explosive

• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal

cutting are a common cause of wood dust ﬁres

• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working

environment
