Additional Safety Instructions for Planers
1. KICKBACK. "Kickback" is when the workpiece
is thrown off the planer table by the force of
the cutterhead. If you do not understand
what kickback is, or how it occurs, DO NOT
operate this machine.
2. REACHING INSIDE PLANER. Never reach
inside the planer or remove covers when the
planer is connected to power.
3. INFEED CLEARANCE SAFETY. The infeed
roller is designed to pull material into the
cutterhead. Always keep hands, clothing,
and long hair away from the infeed roller dur-
ing operation to prevent serious injury.
4. BODY POSITION WHILE OPERATING. The
workpiece may kick out during operation.
To avoid getting hit, stand to the side of the
planer during the entire operation.
5. PLANING CORRECT MATERIAL. Only
plane natural wood stock with this planer.
DO NOT plane MDF, plywood, laminates, or
other synthetic products.
6. GRAIN DIRECTION. Planing across the
grain is hard on the planer and may cause
the workpiece to kick out. Always plane in
the same direction or at a slight angle with
the wood grain.
7. LOOKING INSIDE PLANER. Wood chips
fly around inside the planer at a high rate
of speed. DO NOT look inside the planer or
remove guards/covers when the planer is
connected to power or during operation.
8. CUTTING LIMITATIONS. The planer may
kick out a workpiece at the operator or be
damaged if pushed beyond these limits.

• Maximum Width of Cut ..................9
27
⁄32"
• Minimum Board Length ..................... 12"
• Maximum Board Thickness ............. 8
1
⁄4"
9. CLEAN STOCK. Only plane clean stock.
Planing stock with nails, staples, or imbed-
ded stone will damage your knives and may
cause a fire hazard if the dust collector cap-
tures sparks or hot particles that have con-
tacted the knives. Always thoroughly inspect
and prepare stock to avoid these hazards.
10. REMOVING JAMMED WORKPIECES. To
avoid serious injury, always stop the plan-
er and disconnect power before removing
jammed workpieces.
11. DULL/DAMAGED KNIVES. The planer may
kick out a workpiece at the operator or give
poor finish results if it is operated with dull or
damaged knives.
12. UNPLUGGING DURING ADJUSTMENTS.
When connected to power, the planer can
be accidentally turned ON. Always discon-
nect power when servicing or adjusting the
components of the planer.
13. WORKPIECE CLEARANCE. Always verify
workpiece has enough room to exit the plan-
er before starting.
