GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings
and instructions may result in electric shock, fire
and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for
future reference. The term "power tool" in
the warnings refers to your electric (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 grounded power tools.
Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will
reduce risk of electric shock.
b) Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces,
such as pipes, radiators, ranges and
refrigerators.There is an increased risk of
electric shock if your body is 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.
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 before connecting to
power source and/or battery pack, picking up or
carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your
finger on the switch or energising 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.

EP82-3 02
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times. This enables better control
of the 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.
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
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.
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.
b) If the replacement of the supply cord is
necessary, this has to be done by the
manufacturer or its agent in order to avoid a
safety hazard.
6. Battery Tool Use and Care
a) Recharge only with the charger specified by
the manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for
one type of battery pack may create a risk of fire
when used with another battery pack.
b) Use power tools only with specifically
designated battery packs. Use of any other
battery packs may create a risk of injury or fire.

EP82-3 03
GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
c) When Battery pack is not in use, keep it away
from other metal objects, like paper clips, coins,
keys, nails, screws or other small metal object
that can make a connection from one terminal
to another. Shorting the battery terminals
together may cause burns or a fire.
D) User abusive conditions, liquid may be
ejected from the battery; Avoid contact. If
contact accidentally occurs, flush with copious
amounts of water. If liquid contacts eyes, seek
medical help immediately. Liquid ejected from
the batter may cause irritation or burns.
7. Additional Safety and working
Instructions
a) Dust from materials such as lead-containing
coatings, some wood types, minerals and
metals can be harmful to one’s health and
cause allergic reactions, leading to respiratory
infections and/or cancer. Materials containing
asbestos may only be worked by specialists.
Observe the relevant regulations in your country
for the materials to be worked.
b) Prevent dust accumulation at the workplace.
Dust can easily ignite.
8. Additional Warnings for Planer.
a) Keep work area clean. Keep clothes, rags,
cord and other such materials away from the
work area.
b) When performing any maintenance on the
planer make sure the cord is unplugged.
c) Be aware when mounting any new blade
they are very sharp and can easily cut.
d) Before operating be sure to check the screw
clip is correctly fitted.
e) Avoid any metals when planing. Be sure to
check the work piece for any nails or other
materials that may harm your planer.
f) Do not touch the rotating blades.
g) Before beginning a pass with the planer make
sure that it is running up to speed as this will give
best results.
h) Work with the machine away from your body
on a secured and clamped work piece. Do not use
on an unclamped or unsecured workpiece.
i) Ensure the blades have Stopped rotating before
placing the machine down.
9. Using an Extension Cable.
a) If an extension cable is required, use an
approved triple core extension cable suitable for
the power input of the tool.
b) Grounded tools always require a three wire
extension cable.
c) As the distance from the supply outlet
increases you must use a heavier gauge extension
cable. Using extension cables with inadequately
sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage,
resulting in loss of power and possible tool
damage.
d) The smaller the gauge number of the wire the
greater the capacity of the cord.
e) When using a cable reel, always unwind the
cable completely.

Maintenance and Service
Replacing the Cutters
-Place the machine on a table with
the planing base towards you.
-Rotate the cylinder until the first
cutter is visible
-Turn the three securing screws
clockwise fully. This will loosen the
cutter block assembly from the
cylinder.
-Hold down the safety device with
your thumb as shown above, and
slide the cutter assembly in the
direction shown to remove it from
the cylinder.
-Tap the cutter block assembly
gently in order to free the cutter
blade, which will slide out.
Note: The cutter has two cutting edges.
When both cutting edges are worn, the
cutter must be replaced.
-Turn the cutter so that the new
cutting edge is facing upwards or
take a new cutter and place it
between the block –A and the
clamping plate –B, ensuring the
locating lugs of the clamping plate
engage with the clamping block
correctly.
-Slide the cutter block assembly
back into the cylinder
-Secure the cutter block by
screwing the screws out until each
one just touches the side of the
recess in the cylinder. Next tighten
the two outer screws first followed
by the centre screw.

Unt
EP82-3 09
Adjusting a Cutter
With the planing depth set to zero, place a
straight edge along the bottom face of the
machine. The cutter blade should just touch
the straight edge.
If adjustment is necessary, screw the hex
socket head screws in or out as required, until
the cutter blade just touches the straight
edge, along its entire length I.E the blade
must be parallel across the base of the
machine.
Replacing the Drive Belt
Should the cutter bind in the workpiece, it is
probable that the drive belt needs changing.
Should this be the case, please proceed as
follows:
-Remove the three securing screws,
and pull off the cover.
-Pull off the old belt by turning the
larger pulley whilst pushing the
belt towards you in the middle of
its run, so that it gradually eases of
the pulleys –take care not to trap
your fingers between the belt and
pulley.
-Replace the new belt in a similar
manner, turning the large pulley
whilst pushing the belt over the
ridges in the pulleys.

EP82-3 10
Replacing the Carbon Brushes
-Unscrew and remove the side cover
using the three securing screws.
-VERY carefully prise out the carbon
brush holders. DO NOT USE FORCE.
