 General Safety Rules  Specific Safety Rules and Symbols  Functional Description  Assembly  Operation  Maintenance  Accessories

ALWAYS WEAR EYE PROTECTION THAT CONFORMS WITH CSA REQUIREMENTS or ANSI SAFETY STANDARD Z87.1

FLYING DEBRIS can cause permanent eye damage. Prescription eyeglasses ARE NOT a replacement for proper eye protection.

WARNING: Non-compliant eyewear can cause serious injury if

broken during the operation of a power tool.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR REFERENCE

WARNING: Use hearing protection, particularly during extended periods of operation of the tool, or if the operation is noisy.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

CAUTION: Before using this tool or any of its accessories, read this

manual and follow all Safety Rules and Operating Instructions.

Page 4

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

WARNING: To avoid electrical hazards, fire hazards or damage to the

tool, use proper circuit protection.

This tool is wired at the factory for 110–120 V operation. It must be connected to a 110–120 V, 15-A circuit that is protected by a time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. To avoid shock or fire, replace power cord immediately if it is worn, cut or damaged in any way.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS

WEAR A DUST MASK THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USED WHEN OPERATING A POWER TOOL IN A DUSTY ENVIRONMENT.

WARNING: Dust that is created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,

drilling, and other construction activities may contain chemicals that are known to cause cancer, birth defects, or other genetic abnormalities. These chemicals include:

Lead from lead-based paints Crystalline silica from bricks, cement, and other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

The level of risk from exposure to these chemicals varies, according to how often this type of work is performed. In order to reduce exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and use approved safety equipment, such as a dust mask that is specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Page 5

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

WARNING: Read and understand

all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious personal injury.

WORK AREA

Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate power tools in potentially explosive environments, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gas or dust. Power tools create sparks that may ignite dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions can cause the operator to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will only fit into a polarized plug one way.

If the plug does not fit into the outlet properly, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not alter the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for the three-pronged grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.

Avoid contact between the operator's body and grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if the operator's body is grounded.

Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering the power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the cord. Do not use the power cord to carry the tool or to pull the plug out of the outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, and moving parts. Replace a damaged power cord immediately. A damaged power cord increases the risk of electric shock.

When operating a power tool outdoors, use an outdoor-rated extension cord type “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and they reduce the risk of electric shock.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert, be aware of the surroundings, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating a power tool may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.

Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, or long hair can get caught in moving parts.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

Page 6

PERSONAL SAFETY – cont’d

Avoid accidental start-ups. Verify that the switch is in the OFF position before plugging in the tool. Carrying a power tool with a finger on the switch or plugging in a tool that has the switch in the ON position invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool ON. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance allows the operator to maintain better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Use a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a hardhat, or hearing protection when appropriate.

USE AND CARE OF POWER TOOLS Use clamps or another practical means to

secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work in a hand or against the body is not stable, and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer when used at the rate that it was designed to work at.

Do not use a power tool if it cannot be turned ON or OFF using the power switch. A tool that cannot be controlled using the switch is dangerous, and must be repaired.

Disconnect the plug from the outlet before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of accidental start-ups.

When power tools are not in use, store them out of the reach of children or untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind, and are easier to control.

Inspect the tool for misalignment or binding of moving parts, broken parts, and any other condition that may affect the operation of the tool. If it is damaged, have the tool serviced before using it. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for this model. Accessories that are suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used with another tool.

SERVICE Tools servicing must be performed by

qualified personnel. Service or maintenance performed by non-qualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.

When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this Manual. The use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow the instructions in the Maintenance section of this Manual may create a risk of electric shock or injury.

POWER TOOL SAFETY

Page 7

WARNING: Know your palm planer. Read the Instruction Manual

carefully. Learn the tool’s applications

and limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards related to this tool.

Following this rule will reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or serious injury.

Always wear eye protection. Any power

tool can throw foreign objects into your eyes and cause permanent eye damage.

ALWAYS wear safety goggles (not glasses) that comply with ANSI safety standard Z87.1. Everyday glasses have only impact resistant lenses. They ARE NOT safety glasses.

WARNING: Glasses or goggles not in compliance with ANSI Z87.1 could cause serious injury when they break.

Always wear hearing protection and a dust mask. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Using personal safety devices and working in a safe environment reduces the risk of injury.

DANGER: Always unplug the tool from the power source before making any adjustments or removing the blades.

DANGER: Be extremely careful when handling the cutting blades. They are extremely sharp and can cause serious injury.

DANGER: Always make sure the blade clamping screws are correctly tightened before using the planer.

DANGER: Use only Mastercraft® replacement cutting blades. Any other cutting blades may not be clamped properly in the cylinder and could be violently thrown, causing serious injury to the operator.

DANGER: When turning the

planer ON, watch for excessive vibration which could be caused by loose or improperly installed cutting blades.

Never use dull or damaged cutting blades. Dull or damaged cutting blades require more power to operate and could result in overheating the motor. They will also result in poor cutting action and a rough finish.

Always replace both blades at the same time to maintain proper cylinder balance and smooth cutting action.

Always make sure the work surface is free of nails and other foreign objects. Cutting into a nail can cause the tool to jump. It will also damage the cutting blades.

Always use a safe method to secure the workpiece. Use both hands to guide the tool wherever possible. Never place hands near the cutting blades.

Never lay the workpiece on hard surfaces such as concrete, stone, etc. The tool may jump if the cutting blades contact the hard surface. The blades will also be damaged.

Make sure all rags, cords, string etc. are removed from the work area. Any of these items could be caught in the cutting blades and cause loss of control over the tool.

Never operate the palm planer while covering the air vents with your hands. The motor will overheat.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

! ! !

Page 8

When turning the switch ON, make sure the cutting blades are not touching anything, including the workpiece.

Always allow the motor to come up to its full speed before attempting to use the planer.

Do not allow your face to get too close to the workpiece when operating the tool. Wood chips can fly onto your face and eyes.

Turn the tool OFF and wait for the cutting blades to stop before setting the tool down.

Never take deep cuts or move the planer into the workpiece too quickly. Either action will reduce the motor speed and cause the motor to overheat and produce rough cutting action.

When setting tool down, either lay it on its side or in its upright position with the blade protection foot resting on a flat surface.

Use the dust extraction system wherever practical to avoid creating excessive dust.

Never use your finger to remove wood chips and saw dust from the chip chute. If chips and saw dust from damp wood become jammed in the chip chute, turn the tool OFF, unplug it from the power source and use a wooden stick to clean out the chip chute.

WARNING: Keep the extension cord clear of the work area. Position the

cord so it will not get caught on the workpiece, a tool, or any other obstruction while the power tool is in use.

If an extension cord is used with this palm planer, verify that it is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one that is heavy enough to carry the current that the tool will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, which will result in a loss of power and overheating.

The following table shows the correct size to use according to cord length and the amperage rating that is listed on the tool's nameplate. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

Verify that the extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Replace a damaged extension cord immediately, or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it. Keep the extension cord away from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Use a separate electrical circuit for power tools. This circuit must consist of not less than 14 gauge wire and should be protected by either a 15 A time-delayed fuse or a circuit breaker. Before connecting the power tool to the outlet, verify that the switch is in the OFF position, and that the voltage of the power source is the same as the voltage that is indicated on the tool's nameplate. Running this palm planer at lower voltage will damage the motor.

PLANING – cont’d

NOTES:

b) Moving the plane too quickly or

removing too much material in one pass will result in poor quality of cuts and possibly damage to the motor. It is always better to remove the material in small amounts using more passes to complete the work.

c) Moving the planer too slowly may

cause the blades to burn or mar the surface.

d) The proper feed rate will be dictated

by the depth of cut, the type of wood, and the moisture content of the wood being planed. Make practice cuts on a scrap workpiece of the same material as the good workpiece to establish the correct cutting depth and feed rate.

BLADE PROTECTION FOOT

Between planning operations, you can rest the planer on a flat surface with the blade protection foot (1) in the downward position (Fig. 4).

NOTE: The blade protection foot will automatically fall into the “down” position when the cut is complete and be pushed to its upward position (2) when the planer is moved forward on the workpiece.

CHAMFERING

To chamfer the corner of the workpiece, align one of the three “V” grooves (1) with the corner of the workpiece (2) (Fig. 5).

NOTE: The “V” grooves are different depths. Select the “V” groove that will

produce the desired chamfer.
