No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. Every shop environment is different.
Always consider safety first, as it applies to
your individual working conditions. Use
this and other machinery with caution and
respect. Failure to do so could result in
serious person injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the Model G1021 15" Planer.
Use the tool with respect and caution to
lessen the possibility of mechanical dam-
age or operator injury. If normal safety pre-
cautions are overlooked or ignored.
Serious personal injury may occur.
Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses
or goggles and hearing protection when
operating equipment. Do not allow visitors
into your workshop when testing or operat-
ing equipment unless similarly equipped.
Serious personal injury may occur.
1. Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the
floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be
corrected by shimming or blocking before
operation.
2. This machine is not designed to process
any other material except wood.
3. Never position fingers or thumbs near the
infeed roller.
4. Long stock should always be fully support-
ed by some type of support fixture.
5. Do not operate planer with dull or damaged
knives.
6. Ensure that the planer is properly adjusted
before using.
7. Do not remove excessive amounts of
wood in a single pass.
8. Inspect your stock before planing. Reject
stock with defects and foreign material.
9. Do not attempt to remove jams until power
is disconnected and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
10. Provide adequate infeed and outfeed
space for operating the planer.
11. Do not plane wood less than 12" long and
1
⁄
4" thick.
12. Do not plane lumber with loose knots or
knots that may become loose during
planing.
