13. Never attempt to remove material stuck in the moving parts of the Planer
while it is plugged in and running.
14. When cutting a large workpiece (over 24” long), make sure its entire length
is properly supported. If necessary, use a roller stand (not included) with larger
workpieces.
15. Make sure the Tables are clear with the exception of the workpiece to be
cut.
16. The Planer is designed for cutting flat workpieces only. Do not attempt to cut
workpieces that are not flat.
17. The Planer is designed for cutting wood workpieces only. Do not attempt to
use the Planer to cut metal or other nonwood materials.
18. Always make sure the work surface of the Planer is clean and free of dust,
wood chips, and other debris that can interfere with the cut you are going to
make.
19. Always keep children and other unauthorized people away from the Planer.
Unplug the Table, and remove the Power Switch’s Safety Key when the Planer is
not in use.
20. Avoid overloading the Planer. If the motor speed drops abnormally, decrease
the cutting depth of the workpiece immediately.
21. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attach-
ment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for
which this tool was designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate
for which it was intended. Do not modify this tool, and do not use this tool for a
purpose for which it was not intended.
22. Always use sharp Planer Knives. If the Knives stop abruptly, or the Knives
become blocked, turn the unit’s Power Switch to its “OFF” position immediately.
23. Do not attempt to plane material less than 7/64” thick, thicker than 6-1/4”, or
wider than 15”.
24. Before planing any workpiece, check for any foreign material such as nails,
screws, or hard impurities in the wood. Also check for loose knots in the
workpiece.
