General safety rules
WARNING. Read all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury. The term “power tool” in all of
the warnings listed below refers to your mains operated
(corded) power tool or battery operated (cordless)
power tool.
Save these instructions
1. Work area
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and 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.
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 adaptor 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.
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 safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure the switch is in the
off position before plugging in. Carrying power tools with
your finger on the switch or plugging in 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 these devices
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.
5
c. Disconnect the plug from the power source 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 tools
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 and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, 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.
Additional safety rules for electric planers
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down.
An exposed cutter may engage the surface leading to
possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
• When an extension cable is required, you must ensure
that it has the right ampere rating for your power tool and
is in safe electrical condition.
• Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your
tool rating plate voltage.
• After long working periods, external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
• If possible, always use clamps or a vice to hold your work.
• Always switch off before you put the planer down.
• Do not force the planer: let the tool do the work at
a reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too
much pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting
in inefficient planing and possible damage to the
planer motor.
• Always use a dust extraction system where possible.
• Rags, cloths, cord, string and the like should never be
left around the work area.
• Remove all nails, screws and other objects from the
workpiece. You can damage the blade and the tool by
cutting into a nail or other foreign object. It can also
present a safety hazard.
• Handle the blades very carefully.
• Be sure that the blade installation bolts are securely
tightened before operation.
• Always wear eye and ear protection and use a
dust mask.
• Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
• Keep hands away from rotating parts.
• Before using the tool on an actual workpiece, switch
on and let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation or a
poorly balanced blade.
• Make sure that a blade is not in contact with the
workpiece when you switch the machine on.
• Wait until the blades attain full speed before cutting.
• Operate the tool at least 200mm away from your face
and body.
• Always switch off and wait until the blades have come to
a complete standstill before attempting any adjustments.
