PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS
PLANER SAFETY
1. Whenever adjusting or replacing any parts on planer,
turn switch OFF and remove plug from power source.
2. Make sure all guards are properly attached and se-
curely fastened.
3. Make sure all moving parts are free from interference.
4. Always wear eye protection or face shield.
5. Make sure blades are properly aligned and properly
attached to cutterhead.
6. Do not plug in planer unless the switch is in the off
position. After turning the switch on, allow the planer to
come to full speed before operating.
7. Keep hands clear of all moving parts.
8. Do not force cut. Slowing or stalling will overheat mo-
tor. Allow automatic feed to function properly.
9. Use quality lumber. Blades last longer and cuts are
smoother with good quality wood.
10. Do not plane material shorter than 15”, narrower
than 3/4”, wider than 13”, or thinner than 1/2”.
11. Never make a cut deeper than 1/8”.
12. For workpieces longer than 24”, use material sup-
port stands.
13. Always feed from infeed side to outfeed side, and
do not attempt to reverse direction of workpiece being
planed while it is being fed through the planer.
14. Take precautions against kickback. Do not permit
anyone to stand or cross in line of cutterhead’s rotation.
Kickback or thrown debris will travel in this direction.
15. Turn switch off and disconnect power whenever
planer is not in use.
16. Replace cutting inserts if damaged. Rotate or replace
cutting inserts if dull.
17. Keep planer maintained. Follow maintenance in-
structions.
18. Don’t plane against the grain of the wood. (Refer to
Operation Section, Page 14).
