GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WORK AREA SAFETY
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
SERVICE
• Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of fl ammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
• Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose
control.
• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never
modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power
tools. Unmodifi ed plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• 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.
• If operating a power tool in a damp location is
unavoidable, use a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protected supply. Use of an GFCI
reduces the risk of electric shock.
• 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 infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools
may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal protective equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Protective equipment such
as a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or
hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch
is in the off-position before connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger
on the switch or energizing power tools that have
the switch on invites accidents.
• 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.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. This enables better control of the
power tool in unexpected situations.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair and clothing away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
• If devices are provided for the connection of
dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure
these are connected and properly used. Use of
dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use
of tools allow you to become complacent and
ignore tool safety principles. A careless action
can cause severe injury within a fraction of a second.
• 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.
• 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.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/
or remove the battery pack, if detachable, from
the power tool before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the power tool accidentally.
• 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.
• Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the power tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly maintained power
tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges
are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, 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.
• Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean
and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and
grasping surfaces do not allow for safe handling and
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
• Recharge only with the charger specifi ed by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type
of battery pack may create a risk of fi re when used
with another battery pack.
• Use power tools only with specifi cally designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may
create a risk of injury and fi re.
• When battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal objects,
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals together
may cause burns or a fi re.
• Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally occurs, fl ush with water. If liquid con-
tacts eyes, additionally seek medical help. Liquid
ejected from the battery may cause irritation or burns.
• Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged or modifi ed. Damaged or modifi ed batteries
may exhibit unpredictable behavior resulting in fi re,
explosion or risk of injury.
• Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fi re or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fi re or tem-
perature above 265°F (130°C) may cause explosion.
• Follow all charging instructions and do not
charge the battery pack or tool outside the
temperature range specifi ed in the instructions.
Charging improperly or at temperatures outside
the specifi ed range may damage the battery and
increase the risk of fi re.
• Have your power tool serviced by a qualifi ed
repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained.
• Never service damaged battery packs. Service
of battery packs should only be performed by the
manufacturer or authorized service providers.
WARNING Read all safety warnings, instructions, illustrations and specifi cations provided
with this power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re
and/or serious injury. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference. The term "power tool" in
the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.
SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES FOR
PLANERS
Planer safety warnings:
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the
surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the workpiece by your hand or against the
body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
• Inspect and remove nails from the workpiece
before cutting. Nails will damage the tool and could
result in fragments of nail or blade being thrown
toward the operator.

• Use only sharp, properly paired planer blades.
Always change blades in pairs. Dull or improperly
paired blades may cause binding, gouging, or loss
of control, causing injury.
•Keep hands and body away from blades. Hold
tool securely with both hands. Contact with blade
will result in serious injury.
• Blades are sharp. Use care when changing or
adjusting blades.
• Before use, ensure blade bolts are tight and
blades are properly aligned. Run the tool to check
for vibration or “wobble” that could indicate improperly installed blades.
• Keep hands and fi ngers away from dust chute.
Turn off tool and remove battery pack before clearing
jams.
• Maintain labels and nameplates. These carry im-
portant information. If unreadable or missing, contact
a MILWAUKEE service facility for a free replacement.
• WARNING Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paint
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other
masonry products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to fi lter out microscopic particles.

workplace cleaner. Install the dust bag or a vacuum
hose (1-1/2" diam.) by twisting onto the selected
exhaust port. Always empty and clean the dust bag
thoroughly when it becomes about half-full and
upon completion of a job.
WARNING Dust from surface coatings
such as polyurethanes, linseed oil, etc., can
self-ignite. To reduce the risk of fi re, empty the
dust bag when it becomes about half-full and
never store or leave a planer without totally
emptying its dust bag. Also follow the recommendations of the coatings manufacturers.
Blade
clamp
Blade
bolts
Blade
WARNING Blades are sharp and
fragile. Handle with care. Laceration and/or
damage to the blade can occur.
WARNING Always change/reverse
blades in pairs. Unpaired blades can cause
increases in vibration, loss of control, and
lower tool performance.
Installing/Replacing Blades
The planer blades have two cutting edges, and
may be reversed when one of the cutting edges
becomes dull or chipped. Do not sharpen planer
blades. Always change/reverse blades in pairs. Use
only 3-1/4", tungsten-carbide or carbide, doubleedged (reversible) planer blades.
To remove blades:
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Clean dust and debris from the blade drum.
3. Using the 1/8" hex wrench provided, loosen (do
not remove) the three blade bolts.
4. Using a scrap piece of wood, slide the old blade
out of the blade clamp.
NOTE: If the blade is diffi cult to remove, clean
the blade and blade clamp with alcohol, mineral
spirits, or lacquer thinner.
5. Rotate blade drum and repeat for other blade.
To install blades:
6. Reverse blades or use new blades.
7. Align the grove on the top of the blade with the
ridge of the blade clamp and carefully slide the
blade onto the drum.
8. Center the blade lengthwise - it will overhang the
blade clamp slightly on both sides.
9. Using a block of wood, push the blade back
towards the blade clamp so that the inner side
of the blade is pressed against the step on the
drum. This will ensure proper alignment and
reduce tool vibration.
10. Tighten all three blade bolts securely.
11. Rotate blade drum and repeat for other blade.
12. Once installed, rotate the blade drum to ensure
the blade does not contact the shoe or housing,
and that the blades are both installed straight.
Adjusting the Depth of Cut
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Determine the amount of material to be removed during
each pass of the planer. Take
into account the moisture and
hardness of the workpiece, as
well as the desired feed rate.
3. Each detent is 1/256" (0.1 mm).
Turn the knob clockwise to increase the depth of
cut, counterclockwise to decrease the depth of
cut. Do not change the depth of cut while planing.
4. Make a test cut. If the planer moves easily
through the workpiece, increase the depth of
cut. If the planer seems to strain, decrease the
depth of cut.
Installing the guide fence
Use the guide fence for additional stability when
cutting workpieces up to 3-1/4" wide, and when
beveling at up to a 45° angle.
1. Remove battery pack
2. Screw the guide fence into the left or right fence
insert.
3. Using the thumb screws, adjust the width and
bevel according to the job.
Closing the Kickstand
The kickstand is provide to protect the blade when
the tool is set down. It is pushed up automatically
during a normal planing operation. T o close the kickstand manually, push closed and slide to the side.
Operation
1. Remove battery pack.
2. Check blades. Replace if necessary.
3. Install guide fence, if desired.
4. Turn the exhaust selector to the desired side.
Install dust bag or vacuum on appropriate side
of tool, if desired
5. Clamp work securely.
6. Insert battery pack.
7. Securely grasp the tool by the handle and the
depth adjustment knob.
8. Line up the front of the tool with the workpiece.
WITHOUT contacting the drum to the workpiece,
press down on the trigger lock-off and pull the
trigger. Wait for the tool to come to full speed
before beginning to avoid overloading and
damaging the tool.
9. Keeping the front shoe fl ush with the workpiece,
use gentle pressure to guide the planer. All
pressure should be on the front shoe when
starting the cut. Transfer downward pressure
to the rear shoe as it contacts the workpiece.
10. For best results, push plan-
er through the workpiece at
an even rate. Do not push
too fast as it will strain the
motor and could damage
the blades. Do not pull the
planer backward over the workpiece.
Slow feed + shallow depth of cut = smooth fi nish
Faster feed + deep depth of cut = rough fi nish
WARNING To reduce the risk of injury,
wear safety goggles or glasses with side
shields.

to a complete stop before setting down.
12. Continue using progressive cuts until near the
desired depth. Set the adjustment knob to a
very shallow depth for the fi nal passes. This
will ensure a smooth fi nish.
13. Empty and clean the dust bag thoroughly when
it becomes about half-full and upon completion
of a job.
Types of Cuts
Rabbeting, Shiplapping
Rabbeting, or shiplapping, is a type of step cut
achieved by making repetitive passes. Use the
guide fence to ensure a straight cut.
1. Align the blade edge with the cutting line and
secure the guide fence against the side of the
workpiece.
2. Keep the edge of the fence against the workpiece
as the planer is moved through the workpiece.
3. Repeat until the desired depth is reached. Maxi-
mum rabbeting depth is 1/2".
Chamfering
Chamfering is a type of angle cut. Use the guide
fence to ensure the same angle is cut during each
repetitive pass.
1. Align the chamfer groove in the front shoe with
the edge of the workpiece at the desired angle.
2. Secure the guide fence against the side of the
workpiece, using the bevel thumb screws.
3. Keep the edge of the fence against the workpiece
