21
ENGLISH
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 Specific Safety Rules for Planers
• Wait for the tool to stop before putting the tool down.
An exposed tool 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.
• Wear a dustmask.

WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA or less.
Residual Risks
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations
and the implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks
cannot be avoided. These are:
• Impairment ofhearing.
• Risk of personal injury due to flyingparticles.
• Risk of burns due to accessories becoming hot
duringoperation.
• Risk of personal injury due to prolongeduse.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the rating plate.
Your
DeWALT
tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN62841; therefore no earth wire is required.

WARNING: 115 V units have to be operated via a fail-safe
isolating transformer with an earth screen between the
primary and secondary winding.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a
specially prepared cord available through the
DeWALT
serviceorganisation.
