GENERAL SAFETY RULESWARNING: Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure tofollow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fireand/or serious injury.SAvE ALL WARNINGS ANd INSTRUcTIoNS FoR FUTUREREFERENcEThe term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operat-ed (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.1) WoRk AREA SAFETY• keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.• do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presenceof flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite thedust or fumes.• keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions cancause you to lose control.2) ELEcTRIcAL SAFETYa) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. donot use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodified plugsand matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body isearthed or grounded.c) do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power toolwill increase the risk of electric shock.d) do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplug-ging the power tool. keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdooruse. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a ground fault cir-cuit interrupter (GFcI) protected supply. Use of a GFCI reduces the risk of electric shock.3) PERSoNAL SAFETYa) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operatinga power tool. do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the influenceof drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power toolsmay result in serious personal injury.b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection. Protectiveequipment such as dust mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protectionused for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off position beforeconnecting to power source and/ or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool.Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or energizing power tools that havethe switch on invites accidents.d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or akey left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury.e) do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance at all times. This enables bet-ter control of the power tool in unexpected situations.f) dress properly. do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. keep your hair, cloth-ing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can becaught in moving parts.g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collectionfacilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection canreduce dust-related hazards.4) PoWER TooL USE ANd cAREa) do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. The cor-rect power tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.b) do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any power toolthat cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.c) disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack from the power toolbefore making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such pre-ventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow personsunfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool.Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.e) Maintain power tools. check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s opera-tion. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents arecaused by poorly maintained power tools.f) keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharpcutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with theseinstructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be per-formed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could resultin a hazardous situation.5) SERvIcEa) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identicalreplacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.Specific Safety Rules• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cuttermay engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.• Hold power tool by insulated gripping surfaces only, because the cutter maycontact its own cord. Cutting a “live” wire may make exposed metal parts of the powertool “live” and could give the operator an electric shock.• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to astable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body leaves it unstable andmay lead to loss of control.• To reduce the risk of injury, user must read and understand instruction manual beforeoperating planer.• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool down. An exposed rotating cuttermay engage the surface leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.• Be sure the voltage agrees with specific data on the nameplate.• Make certain that the switch is in the off position before connecting plug to a power source.• Be sure to switch OFF immediately if tool is jammed in work.• Be sure tool is set for correct depth before turning switch to ON.• Be sure to use specified replacement parts only.• Be sure tool is disconnected from power source when cleaning or making adjustments to the tool.• Be sure to maintain tool with care.
