Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for
your application.
The correct
tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is
designed.
Do not use tool
if switch
does
not turn
it
"ON"
or "OFF".
Any tool
that
cannot
be
controlled
with the switch
is dangerous
and
must be repaired.
Disconnect
the plug from the power source
before
making
any adjustments,
changing
accessories,
or storing
the
tool.
Such
preventive
safety measures
reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach
of children and
other
untrained
persons.
Tools
are
dangerous
in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools
sharp and clean.
Properly
maintained
tools,
with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind
and are easier
to control.
Any alteration
or
modification
is a misuse and may result in a
dangerous
condition.
Check
for
misalignment
or binding
of
moving
parts,
breakage
of parts, and any
other
condition
that may affect
the tools
operation.
If damaged,
have
the
tool
serviced
before
using. Many accidents
are
caused
by poorly maintained
tools. Develop a
periodic
maintenance
schedule for your tool.
Use
only
accessories
that
are
recommended
by the manufacturer
for
your model. Accessories
that may be suitable
for one tool,
may become
hazardous
when
used on another tool.
Service
Tool service
must be performed
only by
qualified
repair
personnel.
Service
or
maintenance
performed
by unqualified
personnel
could result in a risk of injury. For
example:
internal wires may be misplaced
or
pinched,
safety guard return springs
may be
improperly
mounted.
When
servicing
a tool, use only identical
replacement
parts.
Follow
instructions
in
the
Maintenance
section
of this manual.
Use of unauthorized
parts or failure to follow
Maintenance
Instructions
may create a risk of
electric
shock
or injury.
Certain
cleaning
agents such as gasoline,
carbon tetrachloride,
ammonia, etc. may damage
plastic parts.
Safety Rules for Planers
Secure
the material
being planed.
Never
hold it in your hand or across
legs.
Small
workpiece
must
be adequately
secured
so
that the rotating
planer blades
will not pick it
up during
forward
motion
of the planer.
Unstable
support
can cause
the blades
to
bind causing
loss of control and injury.
Make
sure the spring
operated
automatic
retracting
rabbet
guard
returns
to blade
covering
position
instantly.
The blades
are
hidden
from
view
and you
may
be cut
if
blade is contacted.
Always start the plane before blade is in
contact with the workpiece and allow the
blade to come to full speed.
Tool can
vibrate or chatter if blade speed is too slow
at beginning of cut and possibly kickback.
Check the workpiece
for nails, if there are
nails,
either
remove
or set
them
well
below
intended
finished
surface.
If tile
planer
blades
strike objects
like nails it may
cause
the tool
to kickback
and
serious
personal
injury may result.
Never
leave
the
trigger
locked
"ON".
Unplug
the
planer
before
changing
accessories.
Before
plugging
the tool in,
check
that
the
trigger
lock
is "OFF".
Accidental
start-ups
may occur
if planer
is
plugged
in while changing
an accessory.
After
changing
blades,
rotate
the blade
drum
to make
sure
blades
are not hitting
any part
of the blade
head
housing
and
the
blade
locking
screws
are
tight.
Spinning
blades
could
strike
tool
housing
and damage
tool as well as possible
injury.
