General safety information
Observe the basic safety rules for the operation of
electric tools, to keep the risk of
-
personal injury
-
fire
- electric shock
as little as possible.
Please note in particular:
A planer is a dangerous tool which can, due to ope-
rator carelessness, cause serious personal injury. It
is therefore recommended you follow the safety
information given below, and know and follow the
legal regulations pertaining to the operation of pla-
ners.
A Danger!
The planer shall only be started and opera-
ted by persons being familiar with the opera-
tion of planers, and at any time are aware of
the hazards associated with the operation of
such machines.
Persons under the age of 18 shall operate
this machine only in the course of their voca-
tional training under the supervision of an
instructor.
The following residual risks principally exist
with planers and can not, even by employing
safety devices, completely eliminated:
-
Entanglement hazard: In the course of
planing, the workpiece is automatically
drawn in and fed through the machine.
You must therefore ensure that no parts of
the body or objects can be drawn into the
planer together with the workpiece, while
the planer is in operation. Do not wear
apparel that can get caught and drawn in
by the machine: (
no ties, no clothes with
wide sleeves).
-
Risk of workpiece kickback (workpiece is
caught by the cutterblock and hurled
against the operator):
Operate machine only with a fully functio-
nal anti-kickback lock. Always use sharp
cutter knives. If in doubt, inspect work-
piece for the presence of foreign matter
such as nails or screws.
-
Hazard generated by insecure planer
stand: When working long stock use suita-
ble workpiece supports on both sides of
the planer.
Prevent adverse body positions. Ensure
firm footing, and keep your balance at all
times.
-
Use planer within its limits, and only as
specified. Prevent adverse body positions.
-
Risk of injury by touching the revolving
cutterblock: Always keep sufficient
distance to the cutterblock. Switch the pla-
ner off when not in use.
-
Risk of cut with the cutterblock at stand-
still: Wear gloves when changing cutter
knives.
-
Hazard generated by environmental con-
ditions:
Do not operate the planer in rain or wet
surroundings. Ensure sufficient lighting.
Do not operate the planer near inflamma-
ble liquids or gases.
-
Hazard by overloading the planer:
Use the planer only within its stated capa-
city range. Use the planer only as speci-
fied.
-
Hazard generated by defects of the pla-
ner:
Check planer for defects before each use
Before starting the planer make sure that
no objects (e.g. tools) are inside the
machine. Do not use the planer with a
damaged ON/OFF switch.
