WARNING: For your own safety, read all of the rules and precautions before operating tool.

CAUTION: Always follow proper operating procedures

as defined in this manual even if you are familiar with use of this or similar tools. Remember that being care-

less for even a fraction of a second can result in severe personal injury.

BE PREPARED FOR JOB

• Wear proper apparel. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts of machine.

• Wear protective hair covering to contain long hair.

• Wear safety shoes with non-slip soles.

• Wear safety glasses complying with United States ANSI Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact

resistant lenses. They are NOT safety glasses.

• Wear face mask or dust mask if operation is dusty.

• Be alert and think clearly. Never operate power tools when tired, intoxicated or when taking medications that cause drowsiness.

PREPARE WORK AREA FOR JOB

• Keep work area clean. Cluttered work areas invite accidents.

• Do not use power tools in dangerous environments.

• Do not use power tools in damp or wet locations. Do not expose power tools 1o rain.

• Work area should be properly lighted.

• Proper electrical receptacle should be available for tool. Three prong plug should be plugged directly into properly grounded, three-prong receptacle.

• Extension cords should have a grounding prong and the three wires of the extension cord should be of

the correct gauge.

• Keep visitors at a safe distance from work area.

• Keep children out of workplace. Make workshop child- proof. Use padlocks, master switches or remove switch

keys to prevent any unintentiona_ use of power tools.

TOOL SHOULD BE MAINTAINED

• Always unplug tool prior to inspection.

• Consult manual for specific maintaining and adjust-

ing procedures.

• Keep toot lubricated and clean for safest operation.

• Remove adjusting tools. Form habit of checking to see that adjusting tools are removed before switch-

ing machine on.

• Keep all parts in working order. Check to determine that the guard or other parts will operate properly and perform their intended function.

• Check for damaged parts. Check for alignment of moving parts, binding, breakage, mounting and any

other condition that may affect a tool's operation.

• A guard or other part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced. Do not perform

makeshift repairs. (Use parts list provided to order replacement parts.)

KNOW HOW TO USE TOOL

• Use right tool for job. Do not force tool or attachment to do a job for which it was not designed.

• Disconnect tool when changing blades.

• Avoid accidental start-up. Make sure that the switch

is in the "off" position before plugging in.

• Do not force tool. It will work most efficiently at the

rate for which it was designed.

• Keep hands away from moving parts and cutting surfaces.

• Never leave tool running unattended. Turn the power off and do not leave tool until it comes to a complete

stop.

• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance.

• Never stand on tool. Serious injury could occur if tool is tipped or if blade is unintentionally contacted.

• Know your tool. Learn the tool's operation, applica-

tion and specific limitations.

• Use recommended accessories (refer to page ??). Use Of improper accessories may cause risk of

injury to persons.

• Handle workpiece correctly. Protect hands from pos-

sible injury.

• Turn machine off if it jams. Blade jams when it digs too deeply into workpiece. (Motor force keeps it

stuck in the work.)

• Always keep drive, cutterhead and blade guards in

place and in proper operating condition.

• Feed work into blade or cutter against direction of

rotation.

CAUTION: Think safety! Safety is a combination of operator common sense and alertness at all times

when tool is being used.

Where a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.

• Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet

boxes are not properly grounded. To ensui'e proper ground, grounding means must be tested by a quali-

fied electrician.

EXTENSION CORDS

• The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power,

• Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size

to carry the current and maintain adequate voltage.

• The minimum extension cord wire size is A.W.G. 14. Do not use extension cords over 25 feet long.

• Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which

The motor is assembled with an approved three con-

ductor cord to be used on 120 volts as indicated. The power supply to the motor'is controlled by a double pole locking switch.

The power lines are inserted directly onto the switch. The green ground line must remain securely fastened to the frame to properly protect against electrical shock.

A manual reset overload protector is installed in line with the power supply to the motor. If the planer is over-

loaded, the protector will break the circuit.
