Additional Safety Rules for Thickness Planer
• It is advisable to wear safety goggles whenoperating.
• Make sure that the machine is placed on an evensurface.
• Remove all nails and metal objects from the workpiece before starting work. Do not use
splinterywood. There is a risk that parts will be ejected, kickback will occur and the knife will
bedamaged.
• Any portion of the cutter block not being used for planing shall be adjusted to beguarded.
• Ensure the machine is in perfect working condition. Never run the machine without all guards
inplace.
• Always use sharp blades of the correct type designed for the material to becut. Do not use
knives which are blunt as this increases the danger ofkickback.
• Keep your hands well clear of theblades.
• Never plane material shorter than 500mm.
• Refrain from removing any cut-offs or other parts of the workpiece from the cutting area
whilst the machine isrunning.
• Without additional support the machine is designed to accept the maximum workpiece
sizeof:
- Width 315mm by height 152mm by length 1000mm.
- Longer workpieces need to be supported by suitable additional roller tables. The roller
stands shall be placed in a disance to the inlet and outlet of the thickness planer to safely
support theworkpiece.
• Always keep the push stick in its store place when not inuse.
• In case of an accident or machine failure immediately turn the machine off and disconnect
from themains.
• Report the failure and mark the machine in suitable form to prevent other people from using
the defectivemachine.
• When the cutterhead is blocked due to abnormal feed force during cutting, turn the machine
off and disconnect from power supply. Remove the workpiece and ensure that the cutterhead
runs free. Turn the machine on and start new cutting operation with reduced feedforce.
• Never use the machine for working any material other than wood. Examine the workpiece
carefully for faults which may affect the machiningprocess.
• Whenever the situation allows, clamp the machine to abench.
• Ensure the blades are well sharpened. The blades can be re-sharpened up to 3times. After that
the blades must be replaced. Use only
DeWALT
blades and spareparts.
• Before use, check all safety related parts, such as switch, cutterhead, anti-kickback device and
feed speed roller for properfunction.
• Adjust the infeed and outfeed tablescorrectly.
• Wear safety gloves when handling the cutter block and roughmaterial.
• Ensure the operator is adequately trained in the use, adjustment and operation of
themachine.
• To reduce risk of injury, turn the machine off and disconnect from the power source before
installing and removing accessories. Be sure the trigger switch is in the OFFposition.
• Never carry out stopped work (i.e., cuts that do not involve working over the full length of
theworkpiece).
• Avoid working badly bowed wood providing inadequate contact with the infeedtable.
• Don’t step on the tool and extensiontables.
• Never stand directly in line with the workpiece. Always position your body on the
side of the workpiece. Kickback may propel the workpiece at high velocity towards anyone
standing in front and in line with theworkpiece.
WARNING: We recommend the use of a residual current device with a residual current
rating of 30mA orless.
Residual Risks
The following risks are inherent to the use of planers:
• Injuries caused by touching the rotatingparts.
In spite of the application of the relevant safety regulations and the implementation of safety
devices, certain residual risks cannot beavoided.
These are:
• Risk of accidents caused by the uncovered parts of the rotatingblade.
• Risk of injury when changing theblade.
• Risk of squeezing fingers when opening theguards.
• Health hazards caused by breathing dust developed when planing wood, especially oak,
beech andMDF.
The following factors increase the risk of breathing problems:
• No dust extractor connected when sawingwood.
• Insufficient dust extraction caused by uncleaned exhaustfilters.
• Worn cutterblades.
• Infeed table not correctlyadjusted.
Electrical Safety
The electric motor has been designed for one voltage only. Always check that the power
supply corresponds to the voltage on the ratingplate.

OPERATION
Instructions for Use
WARNING: Always observe the safety instructions and applicableregulations.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury, turn tool off and
disconnect tool from power source before making any adjustments or removing/
installing attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can causeinjury.
WARNING: Make sure there is sufficient space for the workpiece at the outfeedside.
The attention of UK users is drawn to the“woodworking machines regulations 1974”and any
subsequentamendments.
Ensure the machine is placed to satisfy your ergonomic conditions in terms of table height
and stability. The machine site shall be chosen so that the operator has a good overview and
enough free surrounding space around the machine that allows handling of the workpiece
without anyrestrictions.
The workpiece may only be inserted into the machine from the side on which the circuit
breaker is located. Note the arrow on the top of thedevice.
To reduce effects of vibration make sure the ambient temperature is not too cold, the machine
and accessories are well maintained and the workpiece size is suitable for thismachine.
Switching On and Off (Fig.F1, F2)
The On/Off switch of your DW733 is equipped with a circuit breaker. In case of motor overload,
the power supply to the motor will be cut off. If this happens, turn the machine off and press
the reset button36 (Fig.F1).
• The workpiece should not be in contact with the cutterhead when switchingon.
To turn on, press the green start button of the switch 1 (Fig.F2). The tool now works in
continuousoperation.
• Allow the motor to reach full speed before feeding theworkpiece.
• Allow the blades to cut freely. Do notforce.
To switch off, press the red stop button of the switch 1.
WARNING: Always turn off the tool when work is finished and beforeunplugging.
Planing (Fig.G)
WARNING:
• Remove all foreign objects. Do not plane wood with loose knots. Do not plane wood
that is severely knotted orwarped.
• Your DW733 works best with at least one flatsurface.
• For optimal results, plane both sides of your workpiece to reach the desiredthickness.

ENGLISH
WARNING: Feed the workpiece in the direction of the grain (Fig.G).
Snipe
Snipe is a depression made when the ends of the workpiece contact the cutters. To
avoidsnipe:
• Make sure the extension tables are level with the maintable.
• Keep the workpiece level throughout the planingoperation.
• Feed the workpiece flat against thetables.
Warping (Fig.H1–H4)
If your workpiece is only slightly warped, plane both sides to produce the desiredthickness.
Bowed Workpieces (Fig.H1, H2)
The feed rollers and cutterhead will temporarily flatten the workpiece (Fig.H1). The bowed
shape, however, will return after planing (Fig.H2).
To remove the bow, use ajointer.
Cupped Workpieces (Fig.H3, H4)
1. Rip the cupped workpiece in the middle (Fig.H3).
2. Plane the pieces separately to eliminatewaste.
3. Alternatively, plane the top flat38 first, then turn the workpiece over and plane the
bottom flat39 (Fig.H4).
