Safety Instructions for Machinery

OWNER’S MANUAL. Read and understand this

owner’s manual BEFORE using machine.

TRAINED OPERATORS ONLY. Untrained oper­ators have a higher risk of being hurt or killed.
Only allow trained/supervised people to use this
machine. When machine is not being used, dis­connect power, remove switch keys, or lock-out
machine to prevent unauthorized use—especially
around children. Make workshop kid proof!

DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS. Do not use
machinery in areas that are wet, cluttered, or have
poor lighting. Operating machinery in these areas
greatly increases the risk of accidents and injury.

MENTAL ALERTNESS REQUIRED. Full mental
alertness is required for safe operation of machin­ery. Never operate under the influence of drugs or
alcohol, when tired, or when distracted.

ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT INJURY RISKS. You
can be shocked, burned, or killed by touching live
electrical components or improperly grounded
machinery. To reduce this risk, only allow qualified
service personnel to do electrical installation or
repair work, and always disconnect power before
accessing or exposing electrical equipment.

DISCONNECT POWER FIRST.
nect machine from power supply BEFORE making
adjustments, changing tooling, or servicing machine.
This prevents an injury risk from unintended startup
or contact with live electrical components.

EYE PROTECTION. Always wear ANSI-approved
safety glasses or a face shield when operating or
observing machinery to reduce the risk of eye
injury or blindness from flying particles. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT approved safety glasses.

Always discon-

WEARING PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear
clothing, apparel or jewelry that can become
entangled in moving parts. Always tie back or
cover long hair. Wear non-slip footwear to reduce
risk of slipping and losing control or accidentally
contacting cutting tool or moving parts.

HAZARDOUS DUST. Dust created by machinery
operations may cause cancer, birth defects, or
long-term respiratory damage. Be aware of dust
hazards associated with each workpiece mate­rial. Always wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to
reduce your risk.

HEARING PROTECTION. Always wear hear­ing protection when operating or observing loud
machinery. Extended exposure to this noise
without hearing protection can cause permanent
hearing loss.

REMOVE ADJUSTING TOOLS. Tools left on
machinery can become dangerous projectiles
upon startup. Never leave chuck keys, wrenches,
or any other tools on machine. Always verify
removal before starting!

USE CORRECT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Only use
this tool for its intended purpose—do not force
it or an attachment to do a job for which it was
not designed. Never make unapproved modifica­tions—modifying tool or using it differently than
intended may result in malfunction or mechanical
failure that can lead to personal injury or death!

AWKWARD POSITIONS. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times when operating machine.
Do not overreach! Avoid awkward hand positions
that make workpiece control difficult or increase
the risk of accidental injury.

CHILDREN & BYSTANDERS. Keep children and
bystanders at a safe distance from the work area.
Stop using machine if they become a distraction.

GUARDS & COVERS. Guards and covers reduce
accidental contact with moving parts or flying
debris. Make sure they are properly installed,
undamaged, and working correctly BEFORE
operating machine.

FORCING MACHINERY. Do not force machine.
It will do the job safer and better at the rate for
which it was designed.

NEVER STAND ON MACHINE. Serious injury
may occur if machine is tipped or if the cutting
tool is unintentionally contacted.

STABLE MACHINE. Unexpected movement dur­ing operation greatly increases risk of injury or
loss of control. Before starting, verify machine is
stable and mobile base (if used) is locked.

USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult
this owner’s manual or the manufacturer for rec­ommended accessories. Using improper acces­sories will increase the risk of serious injury.

UNATTENDED OPERATION. To reduce the
risk of accidental injury, turn machine OFF and
ensure all moving parts completely stop before
walking away. Never leave machine running
while unattended.

MAINTAIN WITH CARE. Follow all maintenance
instructions and lubrication schedules to keep
machine in good working condition. A machine
that is improperly maintained could malfunction,
leading to serious personal injury or death.

DAMAGED PARTS. Regularly inspect machine
for damaged, loose, or mis-adjusted parts—or
any condition that could affect safe operation.
Immediately repair/replace BEFORE operating
machine. For your own safety, DO NOT operate
machine with damaged parts!

MAINTAIN POWER CORDS. When disconnect­ing cord-connected machines from power, grab
and pull the plug—NOT the cord. Pulling the cord
may damage the wires inside. Do not handle
cord/plug with wet hands. Avoid cord damage by
keeping it away from heated surfaces, high traffic
areas, harsh chemicals, and wet/damp locations.

EXPERIENCING DIFFICULTIES. If at any time
you experience difficulties performing the intend­ed operation, stop using the machine! Contact our
Technical Support at [phone].

Additional Safety for Planers

Wood chips fly

PLANER INJURY RISKS. Familiarize yourself
with the main injury risks associated with plan­ers—always use common sense and good judge­ment to reduce your risk of injury. Main injury
risks from planers: amputation/lacerations from
contact with the moving cutterhead, entangle­ment/crushing injuries from getting caught in
moving parts, blindness or eye injury from flying
wood chips, or impact injuries from workpiece
kickback.

KICKBACK. Know how to reduce the risk of kick­back and kickback-related injuries. “Kickback”
occurs during the operation when the workpiece is
ejected from the machine at a high rate of speed.
Kickback is commonly caused by poor workpiece
selection, unsafe feeding techniques, or improper
machine setup/maintenance. Kickback injuries
typically occur as follows: (1) operator/bystanders
are struck by the workpiece, resulting in impact
injuries (i.e., blindness, broken bones, bruises,
death); (2) operator’s hands are pulled into blade,
resulting in amputation or severe lacerations.

REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never remove
guards/covers or reach inside the planer during
operation or while connected to power. You could
be seriously injured if you accidentally touch the
spinning cutterhead or get entangled in moving
parts. If a workpiece becomes stuck or sawdust
removal is necessary, turn planer OFF and dis­connect power before clearing.

DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES/INSERTS. Only use
sharp, undamaged knives/inserts. Dull or dam­aged knives/inserts increase the risk of kickback.

INSPECTING STOCK. To reduce the risk of
kickback injuries or machine damage, thoroughly
inspect and prepare the workpiece before cutting.
Verify workpiece is free of nails, staples, loose
knots or foreign material. Workpieces with minor
warping should be jointed first or planed with the
cupped side facing the infeed table.

GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the grain
is hard on the planer and may cause kickback.
Plane in the same direction or at a slight angle
with the wood grain.

PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only plane
natural wood stock with this planer. DO NOT
plane MDF, OSB, plywood, laminates or other
synthetic materials that can break up inside the
planer and be ejected towards the operator.

LOOKING INSIDE PLANER.

around inside the planer at a high rate of speed
during operation. To avoid injury from flying mate­rial, DO NOT look inside planer during operation.

CUTTING LIMITATIONS. To reduce the risk of
kickback hazards or damage to the machine, do
not exceed the maximum depth of cut or minimum
board length and thickness found in the Data

Sheet. Only feed one board at a time.

INFEED ROLLER CLEARANCE. The infeed

roller is designed to pull material into the spinning
cutterhead. To reduce the risk of entanglement,
keep hands, clothing, jewelry, and long hair away
from the infeed roller during operation.

FEED WORKPIECE PROPERLY. To reduce the
risk of kickback, never start planer with workpiece
touching cutterhead. Allow cutterhead to reach
full speed before feeding, and do not change feed
speed during cutting operation.

WORKPIECE SUPPORT. To reduce the risk of
kickback, always make sure workpiece can move
completely across table without rocking or tipping.
Use auxiliary support stands for long stock.

SECURE KNIVES/INSERTS. Loose knives or
improperly set inserts can become dangerous
projectiles or cause machine damage. Always
verify knives/inserts are secure and properly
adjusted before operation.

BODY PLACEMENT. Stand to one side of planer
during the entire operation to avoid getting hit if
kickback occurs.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY

Before installing the machine, consider the avail­ability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.

Electrocution, fire, or
equipment damage may
occur if machine is not
correctly grounded and

The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.

The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.

If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid over­loading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.

For your own safety and protection of

Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to

a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, con­sult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.

A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power sup­ply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)

This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

property, consult an electrician if you are
unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.

Model G0790 (Mfd. Since 9/15)

Improper connection of the equipment-grounding
wire can result in a risk of electric shock. The
wire with green insulation (with or without yellow
stripes) is the equipment-grounding wire. If repair
or replacement of the power cord or plug is nec­essary, do not connect the equipment-grounding
wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.

Check with a qualified electrician or service per­sonnel if you do not understand these grounding
requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether
the tool is properly grounded. If you ever notice
that a cord or plug is damaged or worn, discon­nect it from power, and immediately replace it with
a new one.

We do not recommend using an extension cord
with this machine.
cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only
on a temporary basis.

Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can
damage electrical components and shorten motor
life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord
size gets longer and the gauge size gets smaller
(higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).

Any extension cord used with this machine must
be in good condition and contain a ground wire
and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must
meet the following size requirements:

Grounding & Plug Requirements

Cleanup Site Considerations

The unpainted surfaces of your machine are
coated with a heavy-duty rust preventative that
prevents corrosion during shipment and storage.
This rust preventative works extremely well, but it
will take a little time to clean.

Be patient and do a thorough job cleaning your
machine. The time you spend doing this now will
give you a better appreciation for the proper care
of your machine's unpainted surfaces.

There are many ways to remove this rust preven­tative, but the following steps work well in a wide
variety of situations. Always follow the manufac­turer’s instructions with any cleaning product you
use and make sure you work in a well-ventilated
area to minimize exposure to toxic fumes.

Before cleaning, gather the following:
