Important Safety Instructions for All Tools
WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before 
operating the planer. Failure to heed these warnings may result in personal injury and serious damage to the planer. When servicing this tool, use only identical replacement parts. Have damaged cords
replaced by an authorized service center.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result, your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical insulation failure within the tool.
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury, including the following:
General Safety Instructions
•KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
•REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before turning it on.
•KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite injuries.
•DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Always operate tool in a well- ventilated area free of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent vapors. If sparks come in contact with flammable vapors, they may ignite, causing fire or explosion.
•KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe distance from work area.
•MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master switches, or by removing starter keys.
•DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
•USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.
•USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using and extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in overheating and loss of power. The following table shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked
