Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
OWNER'S MANuAL. this machine presents sig-
nificant safety hazards to untrained users. read
and understand this entire manual before starting
the planer.
KIcKBAcK. Be familiar with kickback. Kickback
happens when the workpiece is thrown towards
the operator at a high rate of speed. until you
have a clear understanding of kickback and how it
occurs, do not operate this planer!
REAchING INSIDE PLANER. to avoid seri-
ous personal injury from spinning knives, never
remove guards or reach inside the planer while it
is connected to power.
DuLL/DAMAGED KNIvES. only use sharp,
undamaged knives. Kickback may occur and the
cutting results will be poor if the planer is operated
with dull or damaged knives.
BODy PLAcEMENt. to avoid getting hit if a
kickback occurs, always stand to one side of the
planer during the entire operation.
PLANING cORREct MAtERIAL. only plane
natural wood stock with this planer. do not
plane MdF, plywood, laminates or other synthetic
materials that can break up inside the planer and
cause injury hazards.
GRAIN DIREctION. planing across the grain
is hard on the planer and may cause kickback.
Always plane in the same direction or at a slight
angle with the wood grain.
LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips fly
around inside the planer at a high rate of speed
during operation. to avoid injury from flying mate-
rial, do not look inside the planer during opera-
tion.
cuttING LIMItAtIONS. to reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine,
always operate within the published capacities
found in the data sheet (beginning on page 5) for
this planer.
cLEAN StOcK. planing stock with nails, staples,
or loose knots may cause debris to be thrown
at the operator at a high rate of speed and will
damage the cutterhead knives. to avoid these
hazards, always thoroughly inspect and prepare
the workpieces.
cLEARING JAMS. to avoid serious personal
injury from the spinning cutterhead, always stop
the planer and disconnect it from power before
removing jammed workpieces.
INfEED ROLLER cLEARANcE. the infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the spin-
ning cutterhead. to avoid serious personal injury,
always keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long
hair away from the infeed roller during operation.
DIScONNEct BEfORE ADJuStMENtS. to
avoid unexpected start-up and serious personal
injury, always disconnect the planer from power

service.
No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always con-
sider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. use this and other machin-
ery with caution and respect. failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to
equipment, or poor work results.
