8. Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery, as these can be caught in
moving parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended when working
outdoors. Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.
9. Use protective equipment.
Always use safety glasses. Use a face or dust mask if working
operations create dust or flying particles. If these particles might
be considerably hot, also wear a heat-resistant apron. Wear ear
protection at all times. Wear a safety helmet at all times.
10. Connect dust extraction equipment.
If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and
collecting equipment, ensure these are connected and properly
used.
11. Do not abuse the cord.
Never yank the cord to disconnect it from the socket. Keep the
cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Never carry the tool by
its cord.
12. Secure work.
Where possible use clamps or a vice to hold the work. It is safer
than using your hand and it frees both hands to operate the tool.
13. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
14. Maintain tools with care.
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing
accessories. Inspect tools periodically and if damaged have
them repaired by an authorized service facility. Keep handles and
switches dry, clean and free from oil and grease.
15. Disconnect tools.
When not in use, before servicing and when changing accessories
such as blades, bits and cutters, disconnect tools from the power
supply.
16. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Form the habit of checking to see that adjusting keys and
wrenches are removed from the tool before operating the tool.
17. Avoid unintentional starting.
Do not carry the tool with a finger on the switch. Be sure that the
tool is in the "off" position before plugging in.
18. Use outdoor extension leads.
Before use, inspect the extension cable and replace if damaged.
When the tool is used outdoors, use only extension cords intended
for outdoor use and marked accordingly.
19. Stay alert.
Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate the
tool when you are tired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
20. Check for damaged parts.
Before use, carefully check the tool and mains cable to determine
that it will operate properly and perform its intended function.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting and any other conditions that may
affect its operation. A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre
unless otherwise indicated in this instruction manual. Have
defective switches replaced by an authorized service centre.
Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn it on and off.
Never attempt any repairs yourself.
WARNING! The use of any accessory or attachment or
performance of any operation with this tool other than
those recommended in this instruction manual may present
a risk of personal injury.
21. Have your tool repaired by a qualified person.
This electric tool complies relevant safety rules. Repairs should
only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts;
otherwise this may result in considerable danger to the user.

Additional Safety Rules for Thickness Planer
• It is advisable to wear safety goggles when operating.
• Make sure that the machine is placed on an even surface.
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before
starting work. Do not use splintery wood.
• Ensure the machine is in perfect working condition. Never run the
machine without all guards in place.
• Always use sharp blades of the correct type designed for the
material to be cut.
• Keep your hands well clear of the blades.
• Never plane material shorter than 500 mm.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece
from the cutting area whilst the machine is running.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the
maximum workpiece size of:
– Width 315 mm by height 150 mm by length 1000 mm.
– Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional
table. Always clamp the workpiece safely.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately turn the
machine off and disconnect from the mains.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent
other people from using the defective machine.
• When the cutterhead is blocked due to abnormal feed force during
cutting, turn the machine off and disconnect from power supply.
Remove the workpiece and ensure that the cutterhead runs free.
Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced
feed force.
• Never use the machine for working any material other than wood.
Examine the workpiece carefully for faults which may affect the
machining process.
• Whenever the situation allows, clamp the machine to a bench.
• Ensure the blades are well sharpened. The blades can be
re-sharpened up to 3 times. After that the blades must be
replaced. Use only D WALT blades and spare parts.
E
• Before use, check all safety related parts, such as switch,
cutterhead, anti-kickback device and feed speed roller for proper
function.
• Adjust the infeed and outfeed tables correctly.
• Wear safety gloves when handling the cutter block and rough
material.
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment
and operation of the machine.
• To reduce risk of injury, turn the machine off and disconnect from
the power source before installing and removing accessories. Be
sure the trigger switch is in the OFF position.
• Never carry out stopped work (i.e., cuts that do not involve working
over the full length of the workpiece).
• Avoid working badly bowed wood providing inadequate contact
with the infeed table.

Residual Risks

The following risks are inherent to the use of planers:
– Injuries caused by touching the rotating parts.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the
implementation of safety devices, certain residual risks cannot be
avoided.
These are:
– Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotating
blade.
– Risk of injury when changing the blade.
– Risk of squeezing fingers when opening the guards.
– Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when planing
wood, especially oak, beech and MDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
– No dust extractor connected when sawing wood.
– Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaust filters.
