Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri-
ous personal injury may occur.
1. INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This machine
presents significant safety hazards to
untrained users. Read/understand this entire
manual before starting the planer.
2. REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach
inside planer or remove covers when the
planer is connected to power.
3. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the
cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing,
and long hair away from the infeed roller dur-
ing operation to prevent serious injury.
4. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The
workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer during the entire operation.
5. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only
plane natural wood stock with this planer.
DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or
other synthetic products.
6. GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the
grain is hard on the planer and may cause
the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in
the same direction or at a slight angle with
the wood grain.
7. LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips
fly around inside the planer at a high rate
of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or
remove guards/covers when the planer is
connected to power or during operation.
8. CUTTING LIMITATIONS. The planer may
kick out a workpiece at the operator or be
damaged if pushed beyond these limits.
• Maximum Depth of Cut ......................
1 ⁄
8
"
• Maximum Width of Cut ..................... 12"
• Minimum Board Length ..................... 12"
• Maximum Board Thickness ................ 8"
9. CLEAN STOCK. Only plane clean stock.
Planing stock with nails, staples, or imbed-
ded stone will damage your inserts/knives,
and may cause a fire hazard if the dust col-
lector captures sparks or hot particles that
have contacted the inserts/knives. Always
thoroughly inspect and prepare stock to
avoid these hazards.
10. REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To
avoid serious injury, always stop the plan-
er and disconnect power before removing
jammed workpieces.
11. DULL/DAMAGED INSERTS/KNIVES. The
planer may kick out a workpiece at the oper-
ator or give poor finish results if it is operated
with dull or damaged inserts/knives.
12. UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS.
When connected to power, the planer can
be accidentally turned
ON. Always discon-
nect power when servicing or adjusting the
components of the planer.
13. WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify
workpiece has enough room to exit the plan-
er before starting.
