Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only.
Always check that the power supply corresponds to the voltage
on the ratingplate.
Your DeWALT tool is double insulated in accordance
with EN60745; therefore no earth wire isrequired.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced only by
DeWALT or an authorised serviceorganisation.
• Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near
flammable substances, in damp or wet locations, or expose
torain.
• Never plane material which is shorter than 304.8 mm
(12").
• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum
after power has been shut off and cutter head has
stoppedrotating.
• Always locate planer with proper clearance on the
outfeed side of the unit to prevent pinching or binding
of the workpiece against anyobstacle.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use.
Dust and grit containing metal particles often accumulate
on interior surfaces and could create a risk of serious injury,
electric shock or electrocution.
• ALWAYS WEAR SAFETYGLASSES.
WARNING: For your own safety, it is recommended
that two people carry this machine or serious injury
couldresult.
• Air vents often cover moving parts and should be
avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in movingparts.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current
device with a residual current rating of 30mA orless.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, 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, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-
treatedlumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, 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, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopicparticles.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities.
Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap
and water. Allowing dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay
on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
