SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR PLANERSWITHHELICAL
CUTTERHEAD
Safety is a combination of common sense, staying alert and knowing
how your planer works. Read and understand the following safety rules
before operating.
1. For your own safety, read the entire instruction manual before operating the planer.
2. Be sure that the cutterhead inserts are securely installed in the
cutterhead.
3. Always use clean, properly sharpened inserts. Dirty or dull inserts
are unsafe and can lead to accidents.
4. Do not push or force stock into the cutterhead. The planer will perform better and more safely when working at the rate for which it
was designed.
5. Be sure that the cutterhead has gained full operating speed before
starting to plane a workpiece.
6. Inspect stock and remove all foreign objects before planing. Make
sure that any stock you plane is clean and free of any dirt, nails,
staples, tiny rocks or any other foreign objects that may damage
the planer knives. Only process natural solid wood boards. Never
plane MDF, particle board, plywood, laminates or other synthetic materials.
7. Do not operate this planer when tired, distracted, or under the effects
of drugs, alcohol or any medication that impairs reflexes or alertness.
8. Keep guards in place and in working order. If a guard must be removed for maintenance or cleaning be sure it is properly re-attached
before using the tool again.
9. Kickback is when the workpiece is ejected at high speeds by the
force of the cutterhead. To minimize the risk of injury from kickback,
use proper feeding technique and stand to one side, out of the path
of a potential kickback.
10. Place stock firmly against the table and use suitable in-feed and
out-feed support if stock is too long.
