WARNING: Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power
source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Polarized Plugs (for North America only) To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the
outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to
install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
Cutting Tool Safety
WARNING. Before connecting a tool to a power source (mains switch power
point receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure that the voltage supply is the same as
that specified on the nameplate of the tool. A power source with a voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in serious injury to the user,
and damage to the tool. If in doubt, do not plug in the tool. Using a power
source with a voltage less than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
Use the correct cutting tool
• Ensure the cutting tool is suitable for the job. Do not assume a tool is
suitable without checking the product literature before use
Protect your eyes
• Always wear appropriate eye protection when using cutting tools
• Spectacles are not designed to offer any protection when using this
product; normal lenses are not impact resistant and could shatter
Protect your hearing
• Always wear suitable hearing protection when tool noise exceeds 85dB
Protect your breathing
• Ensure that yourself, and others around you, wear suitable dust masks
Protect your hands
• Do not allow hands to get close to the cutting wheel or blades. Use a
suitable push stick for shorter workpieces with appropriate power tools
Be aware of others around you
• It is the responsibility of the user to ensure that other people in the vicinity
of the work area are not exposed to dangerous noise or dust and are also
provided with suitable protective equipment
Hidden objects
• Inspect the workpiece and remove all nails and other embedded objects
before cutting
• Do not attempt to cut material that contains embedded objects unless you
know that the cutting tool fitted to your machine is suitable for the job
• Walls may conceal wiring and piping, car body panels may conceal fuel
lines, and long grass may conceal stones and glass. Always check the work
area thoroughly before proceeding
Beware of projected waste
• In some situations, waste material may be projected at speed from the
cutting tool. It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other people in the
work area are protected from the possibility of projected waste
Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to resharpen blades. Hardened blades or blades made
from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten cannot be resharpened
without professional equipment.
• Only fit blades specifically designed and intended for this tool
• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades
are not suitable for, blades should be replaced immediately
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of
movement of the blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to
change tools until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some
metal swarf is explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal
cutting are a common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working
environment
Planer Thicknesser Safety
WARNING!
• If the replacement of the supply cord is necessary, this has to be done
by the manufacturer or his agent in order to avoid a safety hazard.
• It is strongly recommended that the tool always be supplied via a
residual current device with a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
• This appliance is not intended for use by person (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person
responsible for their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure
that they do not play with the appliance.
Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate
dust containing chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some wood contains preservatives such as copper
chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic. When sanding, drilling, or cutting
these materials extra care should be taken to avoid inhalation and minimise
skin contact.
a) Do not perform jointing operations on material shorter than (a dimension
equal to the cutter head length plus 2”), narrower than ¾”, or less than ¼”
thick.
b) Do not perform planing operations on material shorter than (a dimension
equal to the cutter head length plus 2”), narrower than ¾”, or wider than
(the cutter capacity in inches) or thinner than ½”.
c) Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed table surfaces and
cutter head knife path.
d) Support the work piece adequately at all times during operation; maintain
control of the work at all times.
e) Do not back the work toward the infeed table.
f) Do not attempt to perform an abnormal or little-used operation without
study, or without the use of adequate hold-down/push blocks, jigs, fixtures,
stops, etc.
