e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and
any other condition that may affect the power
tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool
repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to
be performed. Use of the power tool for operations
different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is
maintained.
ADDITIONAL SAFETY FOR ELECTRIC PLANERS
• Ensure all nails, screws etc are removed from the
workpiece before commencing the task. Otherwise,
damage to the blade or planer could occur, causing a
safety hazard.
• If possible, use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
• Handle blades with caution.
• Ensure that the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
• Before using the planer on a workpiece, switch on
and allow it to run for a while. Check for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate a badly installed, or a
poorly balanced blade.
• Allow the machine to reach full speed before making
contact with the workpiece.
• Operate the planer only when controlled by both
hands.
• Ensure the planer is at least 200mm away from your
face and body.
• Always switch off and allow the cutter to stop before
setting the planer down. An exposed moving cutter
may engage the surface leading to possible loss of
control and serious injury.
• Wait until the blades reach full speed before
cutting.
• Shavings may jam in the chute when cutting damp
wood. Switch off and unplug the power source and
clean out the chips with a stick. WARNING: Never put
your finger into the chip chute.
• Always switch off and allow the blades to come
to a complete standstill before attempting any
adjustments.
• When leaving the machine unattended, disconnect
from the power source.
• When not in use, disconnect from the power source
and place the moveable front base on a wooden block
so that the blades are not in contact with anything.
• Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the
resulting imbalance will cause vibration and shorten
the service life of planer and blades.
