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 cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches
/ adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to re-sharpen blades. Hardened blades or blades made from
hardened alloys typically containing tungsten cannot be re-sharpened 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
GB
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

Intended Use

• Worktop-mounted, mains-powered planer for heavy duty planing tasks on
sheets of hard and softwood timber greater than 380mm in length. Capable
of preparing uneven stock and producing squared wood for making joints and
planing to thickness to create uniform flat boards for various projects.

Unpacking Your Tool

• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool

Before Use

WARNING: ALWAYS disconnect from the power supply before carrying out
any adjustments, inspection, maintenance or cleaning.
WARNING: ALWAYS wear suitable cut proof gloves when handling the rollercase
and its sub-components.
Bench mounting
• Set up the unit on a firm, flat surface so the table is horizontal and the unit
cannot tip over
• If the planer/thicknesser is to be used in a permanent position, it is
recommended that it is secured to a rigid work surface, as follows:
1. Use the holes in the base of the planer/thicknesser (Image A) as a template to
mark and drill four holes in your intended mounting surface (i.e. workbench).
Secure the unit in position using large bolts, washers and nuts (not supplied)
2. If the planer/thicknesser is intended to be more portable, fix a board to the
base which can be easily clamped and removed from various mounting
surfaces
3. If using bolts, make sure they are long enough to penetrate the workbench or
board sufficiently for a secure fix
Crank Handle Installation
Mount the Crank Handle (9) in position (see main image) on the right hand side
of the planer:
1. Thread the spring washer onto the Crank Handle Retaining Bolt (7)
