BEFORE EACH USE
1. INSPECT YOUR PLANER:
• If any part is missing, bent or broken in any way, or any electrical part does not work
properly, turn the planer OFF and unplug the planer.
• Replace damaged or missing parts before using the planer.
• Make sure the cutterhead turns in the right direction. The top should move toward the
infeed table.
2. AVOID INJURY FROM JAMS, SLIPS OR THROWN PIECES (KICKBACKS):
• Use this planer to cut wood only.
• Plan your hand placement so your fingers will not be in a place where a sudden slip could
cause them to slide or fall into the cutterhead. When using only one push block to feed the
wood, do not put your other hand on the planer or workpiece.
• Avoid injury from thrown pieces. Make sure the blades are properly installed and the cutter
blade wedge screws are tight.
• Adjust the depth of cut to between 1/32" or less (0.8 mm or less) for best results. A deep
cut makes feeding the wood harder and can cause the wood to kickback.
• Use the right tool. Do not force the tool to do a job it is not intended to do.
3. INSPECT YOUR WORK AREA:
• Keep the work area clean.
• Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents. The floor must not be slippery from wax or
sawdust.
• Avoid burns or other fire damage. Do not use the planer near flammable liquids, vapours or
gases.
• Before using the planer, clear the table of all objects not needed to feed the workpiece.
• Avoid injury. Do not perform layout, assembly, or setup work on the planer.
4. PLAN YOUR WORK:
• Before trying a new or not often used operation, carefully plan your hand placement.
Make sure you have proper push blocks, jigs, fixtures, stops, and other items ready
to use.
• Avoid injury from unsafe accessories. Use only recommended accessories.
WARNING:
THE PULLEYS AND THE MOTOR INCLUDED WITH THE PLANER WILL
RUN THE CUTTERHEAD AT THE CORRECT OPERATING RPM. USE OF A DIFFERENT
MOTOR OR PULLEYS WILL CHANGE SPEEDS AND COULD CAUSE JAMMING,
DAMAGE, KICKBACK, THROWN BLADES OR OTHER DANGERS.
