GENERAL POWER TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term “power tool” in the warnings refers to your mains-operated electric

planer.

WORK AREA SAFETY

1. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.

2. DO NOT operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks

which can ignite the dust or fumes.

3. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY

1. Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

DO NOT use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools.

Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric shock.

2. 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 is earthed or grounded.

3. DO NOT abuse the cord. DO NOT use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or

moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock.

4. When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for

outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock.

5. IP20 RATED ONLY.DO NOT expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.

Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

6. If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual

current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces the risk of

electric shock.

WARNING: READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS AND ALL INSTRUCTIONS.

FAILURE TO FOLLOW THE WARNINGS AND INSTRUCTIONS CAN RESULT IN
