other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicalsare:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other

Supplemental Safety Rules for Planers
• To avoid injury, never rotate the cutterhead directly with
your hands.
• Keep hands away from the underside of the
cutterheadcarriage.
• Never clear clogs, make cutter knife replacement, or any
other repairs/adjustments with unit plugged in.
• Make certain that the switch is in the OFF position before
connecting plug to a power source.
• Stay alert—never operate the unit when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
• Do not use in dangerous environments. Do not use near
flammable substances, in damp or wet locations, or
expose to rain.
• Never plane material which is shorter than 12" (304.8mm)
narrower than 3/4" (19.05 mm), or wider than 12" (304.8
mm) or thinner than 1/2" (12.7 mm).
• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum
after power has been shut off and cutterhead has
stopped rotating.
• Always locate planer with proper clearance on the outfeed
side of the unit to prevent pinching or binding of the
workpiece against any obstacle.
• Never reach into the cutterhead area while the machine is
running. Your hands can be drawn into theknives.
• Maintain the proper relationships of infeed and outfeed
table surfaces and cutter head knife path.
5 . Never turn the machine "ON" before clearing the
table of all objects (tools, scraps of wood, etc.). Flying
debris can cause seriousinjury.
6 . Never turn the machine "ON" with the workpiece
contacting the cutterhead. Kickback canoccur.
7 . Secure the machine to a supporting surface to
prevent the machine from sliding, walking or
tippingover.
8 . Be sure that the cutter knives are mounted as
described in the instruction manual and check that
all bolts are firmly tightened before connecting unit
to powersource.
9 . Avoid awkward operations and hand positions. A
sudden slip could cause a hand to move into theknives.
10 . Keep arms, hands, and fingers away from the
cutterhead, the chip exhaust opening, and the feed
rollers to prevent severecuts.
11 . Never reach into the cutterhead area while the
machine is running. Your hands can be drawn into
theknives.
12 . Do not stand in line with the workpiece. Kickback can
causeinjury.
13 . Allow the cutterhead to reach full speed before
feeding a workpiece. Changing speeds while planing
can causekickback.
14 . When planing bowed stock, place the concave (cup
down) side of the stock on the table and cut with the
grain to preventkickback.
15 . Do not feed a workpiece that is warped, contains
knots, or is embedded with foreign objects (nails,
staples, etc.). Kickback canoccur.
16 . Do not feed a short, thin, or narrow workpiece into
the machine. Your hands can be drawn into the
knives and/or the workpiece can be thrown at high
speeds. See the Operation section of this instruction
manual fordetails.
17 . Do not feed a workpiece into the outfeed end of
the machine. The workpiece will be thrown out of the
opposite side at highspeeds.
18 . Remove shavings only with the power "OFF" and the
cutterhead stopped to prevent seriousinjury.
19 . Properly support long or wide work pieces. Loss of
control of the workpiece can cause seriousinjury.
20 . Never perform layout, assembly or set-up work on
the table/work area when the machine is running.
Serious injury willresult.
21 . Turn the machine "OFF", disconnect it from the
power source, and clean the table/work area before
leaving the machine. Lock the switch in the "OFF"
position to prevent unauthorized use. Someone else
might accidentally start the machine and cause injury to
themselves orothers.
