Always wear eye protection when operating the machine.

Check to make sure all holding screws are tight before starting machine.

Always stop the motor and disconnect from power source before making any adjustments.

Be sure all guards are in place before operation. Read owner’s manual thoroughly and familiarise

yourself with the machine before operation. Do not force work through the machine. Allow the

planer to apply the proper feed rate. Check feed rollers occasionally to be sure

sawdust and chips are not lodged between any components. If rollers are not seated rmly, the feed rolls will not hold timber rmly against the bed, allowing kickback.

Only plane wood boards. Use sound timber, with no loose knots and as few

tight knots as possible. Never stand directly in line with either the infeed

or outfeed sides. Always stand off to one side of the machine.

Make sure the workpiece is free of from nails, screws stones and other foreign objects which could damage the blades.

Make sure the blades are attached correctly as described in the instructions.

Use caution when handling the blades and cutterhead assembly. The blades are sharp and can easily cut your hand.

Allow the cutterhead to reach full speed before using.

Anti-Kickback Pawls

Device which, when properly installed and maintained, is designed to stop the workpiece from being kicked back toward the front of the Blade during a Planer operation.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION

Avoiding kickback

Always use the correct Blade depth setting. Inspect the work for knots or nails before

beginning a cut. Knock out any loose knots with a hammer, never cut into a loose knot or nail.

Always use clear, sharp, and properly-set blades. Never make planer with dull blades.

To avoid pinching the Blade, support the work properly before beginning a planer operation.

When making a planer operation, use steady, even pressure, never force to plane.

Do not plane wet or warped timber.

Always hold your workpiece rmly with both hands, keep your body in a balanced position to be ready to resist kickback. Never stand directly in line with timber.
