Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
No list of safety guidelines can be complete.
Every shop environment is different. Always
consider safety first, as it applies to your
individual working conditions. Use this and
other machinery with caution and respect.
Failure to do so could result in serious per-
sonal injury, damage to equipment, or poor
work results.
Like all machinery there is potential danger
when operating this machine. Accidents are
frequently caused by lack of familiarity or
failure to pay attention. Use this machine
with respect and caution to lessen the pos
-
sibility of operator injury. If normal safety
precautions are overlooked or ignored, seri
-
ous personal injury may occur.
1. INSTRUCTION MANUAL. This machine
presents significant safety hazards to
untrained users. Read/understand this entire
manual before starting the planer.
2. REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach
inside planer or remove covers when the
planer is connected to power.
3. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the
cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing,
and long hair away from the infeed roller dur
-
ing operation to prevent serious injury.
4. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The
workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer during the entire operation.
5. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only
plane natural wood stock with this planer.
DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or
other synthetic products.
6. GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the
grain is hard on the planer and may cause
the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in
the same direction or at a slight angle with
the wood grain.

fly around inside the planer at a high rate
of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or
remove guards/covers when the planer is
