h) Use ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause
hearing loss.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power
tool for your application. The correct power tool will do
the job better and safer.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn
it on and off. Any power tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the
battery pack from the power tool before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power
tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or
these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools can cause injuries in the hands of untrained users.
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tools
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in
accordance with these instructions and in the manner
intended for the particular type of power tool, taking
into account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in injuries.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Safety instructions for Planers
• Avoid damage that can be caused by screws, nails and
other elements in your workpiece; remove them before
you start working.
• Always keep the cord away from moving parts of the tool,
direct the cord to the rear away from the tool.
• Wait for the cutter block to stop before setting the
tool down (an exposed knife may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury).
• Use completely unrolled and safe extension cords with a
capacity of 16 Amps (UK 13 Amps).
• In case of electrical or mechanical malfunction,
immediately switch off the tool and disconnect the plug.
• SKIL can assure flawless functioning of the tool only
when original accessories are used.
