m WARNING! This electric tool generates an electro-
magnetic field during operation. This field can impair
active or passive medical implants under certain con-
ditions. In order to prevent the risk of serious or deadly
injuries, we recommend that persons with medical im-
plants consult with their physician and the manufactur-
er of the medical implant prior to operating the electric
tool.

SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not use blunt knives. Risk of kick-back.
• The cutter block must be fully covered.
• Use a push stick to plane any short workpieces.
• Take additional safety precautions if you are planing
any narrow workpieces. It may be necessary to use
lateral pressure equipment and springloaded covers
to ensure that you can work in safety.
• The machine is not suitable for cutting rebates.
• The anti-kick safeguard and the infeed roller must
be inspected at regular intervals.
• Machines fitted with a sawdust extractor and ex-
tractor hoods must be connected to the devices
concerned. The type of material used can have a
negative influence on the dust generated.
• The machine is designed exclusively for the cutting
of wood and similar materials.
• The knife must be replaced immediately once it be-
comes worn down by 5%.
• If a push stick is not used there may be a risk of seri-
ous danger. The push stick should always be kept at
the machine when not used.
• There is a greater risk of danger when small work-
pieces are fed in by hand. Always observe the man-
ufacturer's instructions on the use of the push stick.
• If the safety covers, infeed table or mesh are in-
correctly aligned they could lead to uncontrollable
situations.
• Damaged or soiled workpieces may cause a risk
of danger. Never use metal parts in the machine or
any materials which can fracture or shatter. Risk of
injury!
• To cut long workpieces, always place them on a mo-
bile table or similar type of supporting equipment.
Otherwise there is a risk that you may lose control
over the workpiece.
• The machine is only suitable for planing and thick-
nessing.
• Wear suitable protective clothing when working with
the machine:
- ear protection to prevent damage to your ears,
- a breathing mask to avoid the risk of inhaling haz-
ardous particles of dust,
- safety gloves to avoid injuries from sharp edges
or knives,
- safety goggles to avoid eye injuries from flying
parts.
• It is imperative that the following situations are
avoided at all times: Premature interruption of the
cutting operation (planing cuts which do not com-
plete the entire length of the workpiece; planing of
uneven pieces of wood which do not lie flat on the
infeed table).
• Important! If the primary mains connection is in a
poor condition there is a risk of short-circuits when
the machine is switched on. This may also affect
other functions (e.g. the lighting up of indicator
lamps). Should there be any faults in the primary
mains connection, please contact your local elec-
tricity supplier to advice and information.
Residual risks
Even when the machine is used as prescribed it is still
impossible to eliminate certain residual risk factors.
There is a risk of the following injuries in connection
with the required operation of the machine:
m WARNING! Danger of injury! of fingers and
hands by contact with the blade shaft at uncovered ar-
eas when changing tools. These can also be crushed
by opening the guard.
• Eye injuries
• on the infeed and discharge opening by dangerous
recoil
• Danger from current if the electric cables have not
been connected correctly.
• harmful wood duct may be generated if operated
without an extractor or chip bag.
• by catapulted parts
• Metal parts in the workpiece can blunt or destroy
the blades.
• Lung damage if no suitable protective dust mask is
used.
