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 resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening; these may include
specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically containing tungsten
• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the blade manufacturer's
instructions. This may include a limited number of times the blade can be resharpened
• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced immediately if
there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
• 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
Bench Planer Safety
WARNING: Never use the tool without the appropriate guard in place or correctly adjusted.
WARNING: Any portion of the cutter block not being used for planing shall be guarded.
WARNING: When planing narrow workpieces, additional measures such as the use of horizontal
pressure devices, may be necessary to ensure safe working.
WARNING: Planing tools should not be used to cut rebate, recess, tenon or mould.
• 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.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully with cut-proof gloves.
• Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the work area. To
prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism.
• Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece and
starting cutting.
• ALWAYS switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance.
• Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause vibration and
shorten the service life of planer and blades.
• Do not attempt to perform cutting operations that are not recommended by the
manufacturer. Stopped cuts, recesses, tenons, moulds or planing of severely bowed wood is not
permitted with this tool.
• Do not use the planer if it has not been fixed to a secure work surface. Without sufficient
fixing the bench planer may move abruptly during operation, potentially causing severe injury
to the operator.
• Always keep the push-stick next to the infeed table during planing operations. Use the
push-stick to feed the workpiece, when in close proximity to the blade and when the workpiece
is less than 75mm thick.

Kickback Prevention
Note: Kickback occurs when the blade stalls rapidly, as a result of being pinched, bound or misaligned,
and drives the workpiece back towards the operator. It can also pull the operator's hand into the blade,
resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions, however, if precautions are taken, kickback forces can be controlled by the operator, or
avoided altogether:
a) NEVER attempt to cut with a dull or warped blade. ALWAYS ensure the blade is suitable for
the material to be cut.
b) ALWAYS ensure the fence/table is parallel to the blade. If the fence/table tilts inward towards
the blade, the workpiece can come into contact with the back edge of the blade.
c) Use CAUTION when cutting large workpieces. Ensure larger stock is properly supported by
adequate in-feed and out-feed supports.
d) DO NOT cut round stock or workpieces that cannot lay flat on the table. Avoid cutting
twisted, distorted or knotty wood.
e) DO NOT cut wet wood, as it produces higher friction against the blade. Wet sawdust can
accumulate on the blade, further increasing the likelihood of kickback.
f) ALWAYS maintain a firm grip, with both hands on the workpiece, and position your arms
to resist kickback forces.
g) Stay out of blade path and position your body to either side of the blade, but not in line
with the blade.
h) DO NOT back out of the cut. If you have to interrupt a cut before it is complete, switch the tool
'OFF' , and remove the workpiece from the tool, once the blade has stopped spinning.
i) ALWAYS use push sticks where appropriate, to guide the workpiece through the blade.
Use feather boards to hold down the workpiece wherever possible.
