Additional Safety Instructions For The
Portable Planer
6. Position yourself so as not to get caught
(pinned) between the lumber and another
obstruction during the planing operation.
Also, ensure that there is sufficient clear-
ance for the material being fed.
7. Keep hands and fingers away from moving
parts and away from the infeed and outfeed
section of the planer. Do not reach into the
machine at any time for any reason without
first turning the switch off, pulling the elec-
trical plug and after the machine has come
to a full stop.
8. Any glued-up stock must be completely set
up and dry before planing.
9. Never leave the planer running unattended.
10. Habits – good and bad – are hard to break.
Develop good habits in your shop and safe-
ty will become second-nature to you.
1. Ensure that the machine is firmly secured
to a bench or the floor before use.
2. Always be aware of the condition of the
wood you are planing. Pay particular atten-
tion to knots, splits, and other potential
areas where the grain may be getting
ready to separate.
3. Perform machine inspection and mainte-
nance services promptly when called for.
4. Make sure the planer knives are sharp,
balanced, and set correctly and securely.
Operate planer only with both knives in the
cutterhead.
5. Do not plane any man-made composites
such as plywood, hardboard, particle
board, fiber board, flake board, fiberglass
and/or any other material other than solid,
natural wood fiber.

es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
