ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR PLANER
1. This machine has been designed with as many safety features as humanly possible, however, always remember that a planer is only as
safe as its operator.
2. Before starting the planer, be sure to check the following:
A. Table must be completely free of all foreign matter.
B. Cutterhead knives MUST be inspected before each operation. Check for tightness in cutterhead and make certain knives are not
fractured in any place. Flying knives are DANGEROUS.
C. Check knives for sharpness.
3. Check material thickness and depth of cut desired. NEVER overload planer, or try to cut beyond its capacity.
4. As material is fed into machine, stand to side of board near switch (never directly behind)."Kick-back" is caused by improper grip of
lumber by infeed roll and chipbreaker, can cause serious injury.
5. NEVER stand directly behind or work behind machine when it is running. Direction of cutterhead rotation usually throws chips or any
foreign material from rear of machine.
6. In case it is necessary to stop material as it is through machine, switch off feed system and turn machine off. WAIT until cutterhead has
completely stopped before lowering table to remove material. Attempted removal while cutterhead is turning may cause "Kick-back".
7. NEVER horse around a running planer. "Play" should absolutely be forbidden as 9 out of 10 accidents are the results of carelessness
and playing with machine as though it were a toy.
8. Always stop machine for adjustment of when leaving immediate area. Disconnect power source when working on or around any
moving parts.
9. CAUTION-Kickback can result and board flies from machine with high velocity. When sectional infeed rolls and chipbreakers are
installed, it is possible to feed several narrow boards through machine.
10. Use only factory authorized replacement parts and knives.
11. Keep all guards in place at all times.
12. Extra care should be taken when running short pieces, but with another piece of material of equal thickness and stand ASIDE.
13. Do NOT tie strings to the table elevating screws or remove the protective rubber boots. The screws will be rusty and plastic embeds on
the screws. Failure to comply with the above warnings may cause personal injury and/or damage to the machine.
