ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR YOUR PLANER
1. This machine has been designed with as many safety features as humanly possible, however, always remember
that a planer is only as safe as its operator.
2. Before starting the planer, be sure to check the following:
A. Table must be completely free of all foreign matter.
B. Cutterhead knives MUST be inspected before each operation. Check for tightness in cutterhead and make
certain knives are not fractured in any place. Flying knives are DANGEROUS.
C. Check knives for sharpness.
3. Check material thickness and depth of cut desired. NEVER overload planer, or try to cut beyond its capacity.
4. As material is fed into machine, stand to side of board near switch (never directly behind)."Kick-back" is caused
by improper grip of lumber by infeed roll and chipbreaker, can cause serious injury.
5. NEVER stand directly behind or work behind machine when it is running. Direction of cutterhead rotation
usually throws chips or any foreign material from rear of machine.
6. In case it is necessary to stop material as it is through machine, switch off feed system and turn machine off.
WAIT until cutterhead has completely stopped before lowering table to remove material. Attempted removal
while cutterhead is turning may cause "Kick-back".
7. NEVER horse around a running planer. "Play"should absolutely be forbidden as 9 out of 10 accidents are the
results of carelessness and playing with machine as though it were atoy.
8. Always stop machine for adjustment of when leaving immediate area. Disconnect power source when working
on or around any moving parts.
9. CAUTION-Kickback can result and board flies from machine with high velocity. When sectional infeed rolls and
chipbreakers are installed, it is possible to feed several narrow boards through machine.
10. Use only factory authorized replacement parts and knives.
11. Keep all guards in place at all times.
12. Extra care should be taken when running short pieces, but with another piece of material of equal thickness and
stand ASIDE.
13. Do NOT tie strings to the table elevating screws or remove the protective rubber boots. The screws will be rusty
and plastic embeds on the screws. Failure to comply with the above warnings may cause personal injury and/or
damage to the machine.
