machine is not designed to process
any material other than wood.
2. ALWAYS KEEP FINGERS AND
HANDS AWAY FROM ROTATING

clear chips away from the base of
the chip chute when the machine is
running. Stop the machine, unplug
it, then clear away the debris.
3. NEVER OPERATE WITH DULL
OR DAMAGED BLADES. Check
blades frequently for sharpness or
damage. Damaged or dull blades
put excessive strain on the machine
and can cause loss of control of the

Always use a test piece to check the
adjustment and operation before
starting on the actual workpiece.

5. DO NOT REMOVE EXCESSIVE
AMOUNTS OF WOOD IN A SINGLE
PASS. Better results can be
achieved by taking multiple passes
with a small amount of material
removal in each pass.
6. INSPECT STOCK THOROUGHLY
BEFORE PLANING. Look stock
over for any grit, sand, nails, staples
or other foreign materials before performing planing operations. Foreign
materials can damage the blade and
can throw off debris which may
cause injury.
7. MAKE SURE WORKPIECE IS
SECURELY CLAMPED OR OTHERWISE HELD IN PLACE. Also
make sure the clamps will not
obstruct the movement of the Planer
as it progresses through the cut.
Hitting an unexpected obstruction
can cause potential loss of control of
the machine.
