Additional Safety Instructions For Planers
No list of safety guidelines can be com-
plete. 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 personal injury, damage to equip-
ment or poor work results.
1. Ensure that the machine sits firmly on the
floor before use. Any “wobbles” must be
corrected by shimming or blocking before
operation.
2. This machine is not designed to process
any other material except wood.
3. Never position fingers or thumbs near the
infeed roller.
4. Long stock should always be fully support-
ed by some type of support fixture.
5. Do not operate planer with dull or damaged
knives.
6. Ensure that the planer is properly adjusted
before using.
7. Do not remove excessive amounts of
wood in a single pass.
8. Inspect your stock before planing. Reject
stock with defects and foreign material
9. Do not attempt to remove jams until power
is disconnected and all moving parts have
come to a complete stop.
10. Provide adequate infeed and outfeed
space for operating the planer.
11. Do not plane wood less than 12" long and
1
⁄
4" thick.
12. Do not plane lumber with loose knots or
knots that may become loose during
planing.
Operating this equipment has the potential
to propel debris into the air which can
cause eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equipment.
Everyday glasses or reading glasses only
have impact resistant lenses, they are not
safety glasses. Be certain the safety glass-
es you wear meet the appropriate stan-
dards of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
Like all power tools, there is danger asso-
ciated with the Model G1033 20" Planer.
Accidents are frequently caused by lack of
familiarity or failure to pay attention. Use
this tool with respect and caution to lessen
the possibility of operator injury. If normal
safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored serious personal injury may occur.
