USE power lifting
equipment, your planer
is a heavy load. Serious
personal injury may
occur if safe moving
methods are not
followed.
Shop Preparation
• Floor Load: Your planer represents a large
weight load in a small footprint. Most
commercial floors are suitable for the
planer. Some residential floors may require
additional bracing to support both machine
and operator.
• Working Clearances: Consider existing and
anticipated needs, size of material to be
processed through each machine, and
space for auxiliary stands, work tables or
other machinery when establishing a
location for your planer.
• Lighting and Outlets: Lighting should be
bright enough to eliminate shadow and
prevent eye strain. Electrical circuits
should be dedicated or large enough to
handle amperage requirements. Outlets
should be located near each machine so
power or extension cords are clear of high-
traffic areas. Observe local electrical
codes for proper installation of new
lighting, outlets, or circuits.
MAKE your shop “child
safe.” Ensure that your
workplace is inaccessible
to youngsters by closing
and locking all entrances
when you are away.
NEVER allow untrained
visitors in your shop when
assembling, adjusting or
operating equipment.
Cleaning Planer
The table and other unpainted parts of your
planer are coated with a waxy grease that
protects them from corrosion during shipment.
Clean this grease off with a solvent cleaner or
citrus-based degreaser. DO NOT use chlorine-
based solvents—if you happen to splash some
onto a painted surface, you will ruin the finish.
NEVER use gasoline or
other petroleum-based
solvents to clean with.
Most have low flash
points, which make them
extremely flammable. A
risk of explosion and
burning exists if these
products are used. Serious
personal injury may occur
if this warning is ignored!
ALWAYS work in well-
ventilated areas far from
possible ignition sources
when using solvents to
clean machinery. Many
solvents are toxic when
inhaled or ingested. Use
care when disposing of
waste rags and towels to
be sure they do not
create fire or
environmental hazards.
NEVER smoke while using
solvents. A risk of
explosion or fire exists and
may result in serious
personal injury.
