Replace or repair damaged parts. Use genuine parts only. Unauthorised parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Keep the planer clean for best and safest performance and check moving parts alignment regularly.
Wear approved eye safety protection.
Handle loose blades with gloves or cloth as they are very sharp, but DO remove gloves and/or cloth before operating the planer.
Keep your hands and fingers away from the blade when operating.
Remove ill fitting clothing. Remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery, and contain long hair.
Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non-slip shoes.
Ensure there are no foreign objects in the workpiece i.e. nails or screws.
DO NOT start the planer with the workpiece touching the blade.
DO NOT use the planer for a task it is not designed to perform.
DO NOT allow untrained persons to operate the planer and keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.
DO NOT get the planer wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.

1.1 ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and
any other connectors for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also
recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are
plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual
Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer.
You must also read and understand the following instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1 The Electricity at Work Act 1989 requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified
electrician, using a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2 The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition
of those appliances and the safety of the appliance operators. If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3 Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power
supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable Appliance Tester.
1.1.4 Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5 Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all
connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6 Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply
to be used and that the plug is fitted with the correct fuse - see fuse rating at right.
1.1.7 DO NOT pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8 DO NOT pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9 DO NOT use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty
item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician. When a BS 1363/A UK 3 pin plug is
damaged, cut the cable just above the plug and dispose of the plug safely.
Fit a new plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a)Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b)Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c)Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d)After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer
insulation extends beyond the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
Double insulated products, which are always marked with this symbol , are fitted with live (brown) and neutral (blue) wires only.
To rewire, connect the wires as indicated above.
DO NOT connect either wire to the earth terminal.
1.1.10 Products which require more than 13 amps are supplied without a plug. In this case you must contact a qualified electrician to ensure
that a suitably rated supply is available. We recommend that you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket
with your electrician.
1.1.11 If an extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A reel with an RCD fitted is preferred since any appliance
plugged into it will be protected. The cable core section is important and should be at least 1.5mm², but to be absolutely sure that the
capacity of the reel is suitable for this product and for others which may be used in the other output sockets, we recommend the use
of 2.5mm² section cable.

When planing short workpieces, a push-stick should be used.
Check for alignment of moving parts, binding of moving parts, mounting and any other conditions that may affect it's operation.
If a guard or other part is damaged it should be properly repaired or replaced by an authorized service centre unless otherwise indicated in
this instruction manual.
Stay alert - Watch what you are doing, use common sense and do not operate the tool when you are tired.
When not in use switch off the planer and remove plug from the power supply.
NOTE! Max. allowable blade projection over cutterblock 1.0mm/0.004 inch +10%.
WARNING! Prior to doing any maintenance work, always unplug from the mains. Any protective guards which have been removed must
be mounted again after the maintenance work.
5.1 MACHINE CARE
The planer is designed with a low maintenance requirement. Bearings are greased for life.
The table should always be kept free of resin.
In order to prevent the motor from overheating, regularly check that no dust has accumulated on the ventilation apertures of the motor.
After a prolonged period of operation, users are recommended to have the machine checked by an authorized service agent.
5.2 TOOL CARE
The cutter head, clamping devices, blade supports and blades used on the machine must be kept free from resin build-up as a clean tool
improves the cutting quality. This can be done by soaking the blade supports and blades for 24 hours in paraffin, white spirit or
commercially available resin remover.
5.3 REPLACING BLADES
