DESCRIPTION OF THE SYMBOLS
02
WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury, user must read instruction manual.
Before any use, refer to the corresponding section in this user manual.

Failing to follow the warnings and instructions can result in an electric shock, a fire and/or a 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.
1) Work area safety
a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
2) Electrical safety
a) 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. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce
risk of electric shock.
b) 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.
c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the
risk of electric shock.
d) 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.
e) 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.
f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current device (RCD)
protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.
NOTE the term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or
“earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.
3) Personal safety
a) 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 influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protective equipment such as
dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will
reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position connecting to power
source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your finger on
the switch or energizing power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables better control of the
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and instructions.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
03

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.
NOTE The above warning applies only to planers without an automatic closing guard.
–Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter may
contact its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
–Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical replacement
parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained .
04
power tool in unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
g) 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.
h) 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 asecond.
4) Power tool use and care
a) 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.
b) 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.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack 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.
d) 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.
e) Maintain power tools. 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.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.

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 paints,
- 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 filter
out microscopic particles.

APPLICATION ADVICE
CAUTION!
Always switched off the tool and unplug it from the power supply before installing.
Please always properly secure the workpiece before working.
Incline the workpiece slightly away from user, it may make planning easily.
Ensure that the openings provided for ventilation of the motor are clear.
Practice first on a scrap piece of material to gauge the correct feed rate and the cut
dimensions.
CAUTION!
Never cut the unsecured workpiece!
The rate of planning and the depth of cut determine the quality of the finish. For rough
cutting, the user can increase the depth of cutting. However to achieve a good finish you
will need to reduce the depth of cutting and advance the tool more slowly.
The proper feed rate will depend on the type of material being cut and the quality
requirement of finish. Normally, the harder material need slower speed.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Don’t apply big pressure to the machine.
Best cutting results can be obtained by only a slight pressure on the tool; Forcing and
excessive pressure will damage the blade and cause serious personal injury.
Moving the machine too fast may cause a poor quality of cuting and can damage the blades
or the motor. Moving the machine too slowly may burn or mar the workpiece.
Keep the ventilation openings clear and clean the product regularly.
