Additional Safety Rules For Thickness Planers
• Wear safety goggles, working gloves and ear protection whenoperating.
• Never operate the machine without all guards and anti-kickback device in place and in
perfect workingcondition.
• When planing, do not use the machine without the fence in position. Make sure that the lower
edge of the fence touches the upper tabletop.
WARNING: The infeed and outfeed table were accurately adjusted at the factory. Never
change the setting of the tablesyourself.
• Use only cutting blades designed for thismachine.
• Always use blades which are well sharpened andmaintained.
• Do not use the machine for working any material other than soft or hardwood.
• Never cut recesses, tenons or moulds. Rebating is notpermitted.
• Never carry out stopped work (i.e., cuts that do not involve working over the full length of
theworkpiece).
• Avoid working badly bowed wood providing inadequate contact with the infeedtable.
• Before use, check that the the kickback and feed spindles are functioningproperly.
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before starting work. Do not use
splinterywood.
• In the planing mode, make sure the upper blade guard is adjusted to provide
optimumscreening.
• Ensure that the elevating handle is out of the feedarea.
• When working long pieces, use a suitable roller table on both sides of the machine adjusted to
the height of thetables.
• Keep your hands well clear of theblades.
• In the planing mode, use a push stick at alltimes.
• Keep the push stick in its place when not inuse.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the cutter block isrunning.
• Workpiece sizes:
ʵ Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
sizeof:
PLANER
• Height 140 mm by width 260 mm by length 500 mm
• Never cut workpiece shorter than 300 mm
THICKNESSER
• Height 160 mm by width 260 mm by length 600 mm
• Never cut workpiece shorter than 500 mm
ʵ Longer workpiece needs to be supported by suitable additional table, e.g., rollertable.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately switch the machine off and disconnect
fromsocket.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defectivemachine.
• PLANER ONLY: When the cutter block is blocked caused by abnormal feed force during
cutting, switch the machine off and disconnect from power supply. Remove the workpiece
and ensure that the cutter block runs free. Switch the machine on and start new cutting
operation with reduced feedforce.
• Ensure that any portion of the cutterblock not being used for planing is safelyguarded.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA orless.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of planers:
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot beavoided.
These are:
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotatingblade.
• Risk of injury when changing theblade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when planing wood, especially oak,
beech andMDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only (400 V – 3 Ph), and two voltages
only (230 – 1 Ph). Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the
ratingplate.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by a specially prepared cord available
through the D
eWALT serviceorganization.
Mains Plug Replacement
(U.K. & Ireland only)
If a new mains plug needs to be fitted:
• Safely dispose of the oldplug.
• Connect the brown lead to the live terminal in theplug.
• Connect the blue lead to the neutralterminal.
• Connect the yellow green lead to the peterminal.
Follow the fitting instructions supplied with good quality plugs. Recommended fuse: 13 A
(230Vonly).
Using an Extension Cable
If an extension cable is required, use an approved 3–core extension cable suitable for the
power input of this tool (seeTechnical data). The minimum conductor size is 1.5 mm
2
; the
maximum length is 20m.
When using a cable reel, always unwind the cablecompletely.
