CAUTION:

Planing too fast results in a poor finish and increases chip build-up in the chip exhaust. Chip build-up restricts air flow and can cause motor overheating.

WARNING:

Do not attempt to clear a blocked chip exhaust until the blades stop and you have disconnected the product from the power source. Failure to heed this warning can result in serious personal injury.

■Keep the cord away from the work area. Do not allow the cord to hang on the work while planing.

WARNING:

Using the planer with a damaged cord could cause electrical shock resulting in serious injury.

Your planer has been equipped with an automatic pivoting kickstand that will prevent the blade from contacting the workbench when not in use. As you begin your planing operation, the kickstand will automatically retract as it passes over the edge of your work piece. When setting the planer down on your workbench, the kickstand will automatically pivot down to prevent the blade from making any contact.

WARNING:

Make sure the kickstand operates freely at all times and that the area surrounding the kickstand is clear of debris. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
