1.

USE ONLY FOR WOOD.

This

machine is not designed to process

any material other than wood.

2.

ALWAYS KEEP FINGERS AND
HANDS AWAY FROM ROTATING
CUTTERHEAD.

Never attempt to

clear chips away from the base of

the chip chute when the machine is

running. Stop the machine, unplug

it, then clear away the debris.

3.

NEVER OPERATE WITH DULL
OR DAMAGED BLADES.

Check

blades frequently for sharpness or

damage. Damaged or dull blades

put excessive strain on the machine

and can cause loss of control of the

unit.

4.

ENSURE PLANER IS PROPERLY
ADJUSTED BEFORE STARTING.

Always use a test piece to check the

adjustment and operation before

starting on the actual workpiece.

5.

DO NOT REMOVE EXCESSIVE
AMOUNTS OF WOOD IN A SINGLE
PASS.

Better results can be

achieved by taking multiple passes

with a small amount of material

removal in each pass.

6.

INSPECT STOCK THOROUGHLY
BEFORE PLANING.

Look stock

over for any grit, sand, nails, staples

or other foreign materials before per-

forming planing operations. Foreign

materials can damage the blade and

can throw off debris which may

cause injury.

7.

MAKE SURE WORKPIECE IS
SECURELY CLAMPED OR OTH-
ERWISE HELD IN PLACE.

Also

make sure the clamps will not

obstruct the movement of the Planer

as it progresses through the cut.

Hitting an unexpected obstruction

can cause potential loss of control of

the machine.
