Special Warnings when using this Planing Machine

Using this Planer may create special hazards.

Take particular care to safeguard yourself and those around you.

1.Electrical Safety. Never operate any tool if there is an electrical hazard. Never operate an electrical tool in wet conditions. Never operate a tool with an improper electrical cord or extension cord. Never operate an electrical tool unless it is plugged into a properly grounded outlet, which supplies 110-120 Volts at 60 Hz. We recommend you use a circuit which is protected by an ap- propriate circuit breaker.

. Ejected Material. Use safe practices to avoid injury from ejected material. Because the planer turns at high speed, there is a danger of being injured by materials that may be ejected. Always wear ANSI-certified eye protection. Always stand to one side of the line in which the materials are being inserted or extruded, to avoid being hit if particles are ejected. Never allow bystanders to be in the proximity of the Planer while in operation.

3.Jamming. Avoid causing the planer to bog down or jam by avoiding the following situations. Do not attempt to plane more than 1/8” at a time, or less if the wood is very hard. Do not attempt to feed more than the stated feed rate, or less if the wood is very hard. Be sure your knife blades are kept sharp. Check all workpieces for knots and foreign objects before planing. If the workpiece jams, it is likely the circuit breaker will break to protect the motor.

4.Entanglement. Use extreme caution to prevent loose materials from being caught in the machine. Never operate this Planer with loose clothing, long hair, jewelry, or other items which may become caught in the blades or workpieces. In case of entanglement, press the OFF switch immediately.

5.People with pacemakers should consult their physician(s) before use. Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to heart pacemaker could cause pacemaker interference or pacemaker failure.

6.Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activi- ties, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

NOTICE: No list of warnings can be all inclusive.

The operator must supply common sense, and operate this tool in a safe manner.
