Fitting cutting tools
• Ensure cutting tools are correctly and securely fitted and check that wrenches /
adjusters are removed prior to use
• Only use cutting tools recommended for your machine
• Do not attempt to modify cutting tools
• Ensure blades are sharp, in good condition and correctly fitted
• Do not attempt to resharpen blades that are not suitable for resharpening; these may
include specially hardened blades or blades made from hardened alloys typically
containing tungsten
• Blades that can be resharpened should be resharpened only according the blade
manufacturer's instructions. This may include a limited number of times the blade can
be resharpened
• Sharpened blades should be more thoroughly inspected before use and replaced
immediately if there is any doubt about their condition and suitability for use
• In the event blades encounter an embedded object in use that the blades are not
suitable for, blades should be replaced immediately
Direction of feed
• Always feed work into the blade or cutter against the direction of movement of the
blade or cutter
Beware of heat
• Cutting tools and workpieces may become hot in use. Do not attempt to change tools
until they have been allowed to cool completely
Control dust / swarf
• Do not allow dust or swarf to build up. Sawdust is a fire hazard, and some metal swarf
is explosive
• Be especially careful when cutting wood and metal. Sparks from metal cutting are a
common cause of wood dust fires
• Where possible, use a dust extraction system to ensure a safer working environment
Bench Planer Safety
• Use appropriate respiratory protection: Use of this tool can generate dust containing
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some wood
contains preservatives such as copper chromium arsenate (CCA) which can be toxic.
When sanding, drilling, or cutting these materials extra care should be taken to avoid
inhalation and minimise skin contact.
• Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very carefully with cut-proof gloves.
• Ensure all cloth, cord, rags, string and similar items are removed from the work
area. To prevent entanglement in the planer mechanism
• Allow the machine to reach full speed before making contact with the workpiece
and starting cutting
• ALWAYS switch off and allow the blades to come to a complete standstill before
attempting any adjustments, cleaning or carrying out maintenance
• Replace all blades at the same time, otherwise the resulting imbalance will cause
vibration and shorten the service life of planer and blades
• Do not attempt to perform cutting operations that are not recommended by the
manufacturer. Stopped cuts, recesses, tenons, moulds or planning of severely bowed
wood if not permitted with this tool.
• Do not use the planer if it has not been fixed to a secure work surface. Without
sufficient fixing the bench planer may move abruptly during operation potentially
causing severe injury to the operator.
• Always keep the push-stick next to the infeed table during planning operations.
Use the push-stick to feed the workpiece, when in close proximity to the blade and
when the workpiece is less than 75mm thick.
