Additional Safety Instructions for Planers

READ and understand this entire instruction manual before using this machine. Serious personal injury may occur if safety and operational information is not understood and fol- lowed. DO NOT risk your safety by not reading!

USE this and other machinery with caution and respect. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. No list of safety guidelines can be complete—every shop environment is different. Failure to follow guidelines could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.

SAFETY

1.INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY: The infeed roller is designed to pull material into the cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing, and long hair away from the infeed roller during operation to pre- vent serious injury.

2.BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING: The workpiece may kick out during operation. To avoid get- ting hit, stand to the side of the planer during the entire operation.

3.PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL: Planing materials not designed for this planer creates a hazard for yourself and the machine. Only plane natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or other synthetic or man-made products.

4.GRAIN DIRECTION: Planing across the grain is hard on the planer and may cause the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in the same direction or at a slight angle with the wood grain.

5.CLEAN STOCK: Only plane clean stock. Planing stock with nails, staples, or imbedded stone will damage your cutters, and may cause a fire hazard if the dust collector captures sparks or hot par- ticles that have contacted the cutters. Always thoroughly inspect and prepare stock to avoid these hazards.

6.MACHINE LIMITATIONS: The planer may kick out a workpiece at you or you can damage it if it is pushed beyond these limits:

•Maximum Depth of Cut: 1/8"

•Minimum Board Length: 8"

•Minimum Board Thickness: 3/16"

•Maximum # of Boards at One Time: 1

7.LOOKING INSIDE PLANER: Wood chips fly around inside the planer at a high rate of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or remove guards/covers during operation.

8.REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES: Attempting to remove jammed workpieces while the planer is running may cause serious injury to the operator. Always stop the planer and disconnect power before removing jams.

9.DULL/DAMAGED CUTTERS: The planer may kick out a workpiece at the operator or give poor fin- ish results if it is operated with dull or damaged cutters.

10.UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS: When connected to power, the planer can be accidentally turned ON. Always disconnect power when servicing or adjusting the components of the planer.
