Important Safety Instructions for All Tools
WARNING: For your own safety, read the instruction manual before
operating the planer. Failure to heed these warnings may result in
personal injury and serious damage to the planer. When servicing this
tool, use only identical replacement parts. Have damaged cords
replaced by an authorized service center.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Double insulated tools are constructed throughout with two separate
layers of electrical insulation or one double thickness of insulation
between you and the tool’s electrical system. Tools built with this
insulation system are not intended to be grounded. As a result,
your tool is equipped with a two prong plug which permits you
to use extension cords without concern for maintaining a ground
connection.
NOTE: Double insulation does not take the place of normal safety
precautions when operating this tool. The insulation system is for
added protection against injury resulting from a possible electrical
insulation failure within the tool.
POLARIZED PLUGS
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this equipment has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized
outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse
the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install
the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
WARNING: When using electric tools, basic safety precautions
should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock,
and personal injury, including the following:
General Safety Instructions
• KEEP GUARDS IN PLACE and in working order.
• REMOVE ADJUSTING KEYS AND WRENCHES. Form habit
of checking to see that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed
from tool before turning it on.
• KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN. Cluttered areas and benches invite
injuries.
• DON’T USE IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENT. Don’t use
power tools in damp or wet locations, or expose them to rain.
Keep work area well lighted. Always operate tool in a well-
ventilated area free of combustible materials, gasoline or solvent
vapors. If sparks come in contact with flammable vapors, they may
ignite, causing fire or explosion.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should be kept safe
distance from work area.
• MAKE WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master
switches, or by removing starter keys.
• DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which it was designed.
• USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment to do a job for
which it was not designed.
• USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using and extension cord, be sure
to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting
in overheating and loss of power. The following table shows the
correct size to use depending on cord length and nameplate
ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord. When operating a power
tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or
“W.” These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of
electric shock.
