ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1.
2.
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the
grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether
the outlet is properly grounded. If the tools should electrically malfunction or
break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
3.
4.
Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering power
equipment will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug
from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or
moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged
Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when oper-
ating the Planer. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.
3.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Use the right product for the job. Do not attempt to force small equipment to
do the work of larger industrial equipment. There are certain applications for
which this product was designed. It will do the job better and safer at the rate
and capacity for which it was designed. Do not modify this product, and do not
use this product for a purpose for which it was not designed.
4.
