e)Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
f)Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g)Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
5)SERVICE
a)Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

–Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
•Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised DEWALT Service Centre in order to avoid a hazard.
Extension Cords
CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires, damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.
Planer Safety Rules
•Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
•Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
•Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
•Never reach under the tool for any reason unless it is turned off and unplugged. BLADES ARE EXPOSED AND EXTREMELY SHARP.
•Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with great care.
•Use this tool for working with wood and wood products only.
•Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
