The vibration emission level given in this information sheet has been measured in
accordance with a standardised test given in EN 60745 and may be used to compare
one tool with another. It may be used for a preliminary assessment of exposure.

WARNING: The declared vibration emission level represents the main applications
of the tool. However if the tool is used for different applications, with different
accessories or poorly maintained, the vibration emission may differ. This may
significantly increase the exposure level over the total working period.

An estimation of the level of exposure to vibration should also take into account

the times when the tool is switched off or when it is running but not actually doing
the job. This may significantly reduce the exposure level over the total working
period.

Identify additional safety measures to protect the operator from the effects of

vibration such as: maintain the tool and the accessories, keep the hands warm,
organisation of work patterns.

GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING! R ead all safety warnings and all instructions Failure to follow
the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.

SAVE ALL WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR

FUTURE REFERENCE

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power
tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

1) WORK AREA SAFETY

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.

2

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

2) ELECTRICAL SAFETY
a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric
shock if your body is earthed or grounded.

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power

tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges
or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of
electric shock.

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of
electric shock.

3) PERSONAL SAFETY
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention

while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective

equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A

wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in
personal injury.

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust
collection can reduce dust-related hazards.

4) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate

for which it was designed.

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired.

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from

the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories,
or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the power tool accidentally.

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the
power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many

accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work
to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those

intended could result in a hazardous situation.

5) SERVICE
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool

is maintained.

Electrical Safety

The electric motor has been designed for one voltage range only. Always check that
the power supply corresponds to the voltage on the rating plate. 220–240 V AC
means your tool will operate on alternating current. Operation at a voltage outside this
range can cause loss of power and can result in overheating. All D

EWALT tools are

factory tested; if this tool does not operate, check the power supply. Your DEWALT
tool is double insulated, therefore no earth wire is required.

• Young children and the infirm. This appliance is not intended for use by young
children or infirm persons without supervision.

– This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with

reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.

– Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

• Replacement of the supply cord. If the supply cord or plug is damaged, it must
be replaced by the manufacturer or an authorised DEWALT Service Centre in
order to avoid a hazard.

Extension Cords

CAUTION: Use only extension cords that are approved by the country’s Electrical
Authority. Before using extension cords, inspect them for loose or exposed wires,
damaged insulation and defective fittings. Replace the cord if necessary.

Additional Specific Safety Rules for Planers

• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual

before operating planer.

• Always wear eye protection and dust mask if necessary.

• Keep hands away from the underside of the cutter head carriage.

• 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.

• To prevent unexpected “turn on” of the tool af ter power is disrupted, turn the
switch OFF before restoring power.

• 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 power
source.

• To avoid injury, never rotate the cutter block directly with your hands.

• Keep guards in place and in good working order.

• 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 304.8 mm (12").

• Exhaust chute: remove shavings with brush or vacuum after power has been
shut off and cutter head 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.

• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use. Dust and grit containing
metal particles often accumulate on interior surfaces and could create a risk
of serious injury, electric shock or electrocution. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY

GLASSES.
