[. . . ] The safety symbols and the explanations with them, require your careful attention and understanding. The safety warnings by themselves do not elimimate any danger. The instruction or warnings they give are not substitutes for proper accident prevention measures. When not in use, tools should be stored in a dry and high or locked-up place, out of reach of children. [. . . ] 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. Page 3 RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION 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. 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. To avoid pinching the Blade, support the work properly before beginning a planer operation. If an overload occurs, the switch will pop out. If this happens, wait several minutes and press the switch to reset the machine. 4) Mounting Hole Planer Base Hole 15 Ø15 m8 crew Fig. 2b Circuit Overload Switch STOCK ROLLERS (Fig. 3) Two rollers are built on top of the planer, providing convenient handling of stock for consecutive cutting operations. Stock placed on the top of the machine can be easily pulled to the operator for planing. Page 5 On/Off Switch Locking Key Fig. 4 ADJUSTMENT ADJUST DEPTH OF CUT (Fig. 5) When you have properly adjusted the depth of cut scale, test your reading by planing a piece of scrap timber. After planing, measure the planed thickness and double check it against the scale reading. The two measurements should be the same, re-adjust your depth of cut scale to read the planed thickness if necessary. WARNING: Never plane more than 3mm in one pass and never attempt to plane a board under 127mm (5") in length. To adjust the depth of cut, turn the cutterheadraising hand crank in the direction marked on top of the planer. [. . . ] Periodic cleaning is mandatory for precision planing and highly recommended. Close fitting parts, such as the lockbars and the planer cutterhead slots, should be cleaned with a brush; removing clinging foreign matter. Then replace all parts in their respective positions slightly dampened with oil. Remove resin and other accumulations from feed rollers and table with a non-flamable solvent.
