hands on the planer (rear handle and front handle). If both hands are holding the planer, the blade cannot cut them.
1.ALWAYS use both hands when using the planer. Hold the front handle with your left hand and the rear handle with your right hand.
2.Operate the planer with the chip chute exhaust turned so it points away from your face and eyes.
3.To insure control, ALWAYS support your workpiece so the cut will be on your right.
4.ALWAYS clamp the workpiece securely so it will not move when making the cut.
5.DO NOT use dull or damaged blades. Bent blades can break easily, or cause kickback resulting in loss of control and serious injury.
6.ALWAYS hold the planer so the blades DO NOT come in contact with the workpiece until you have squeezed the trigger switch and the planer has started.
