h ) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and
free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping
surfaces do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool
in unexpected situations.
5) Battery Tool Use and Care
a ) Recharge only with the charger specified by the
manufacturer. A charger that is suitable for one type of
battery pack may create a risk of fire when used with another
battery pack.
b ) Use power tools only with specifically designated
battery packs. Use of any other battery packs may create a
risk of injury and fire.
c ) When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects, like paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws or other small metal objects, that can make a
connection from one terminal to another. Shorting the
battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.
d ) Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected
from the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally
occurs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes,
additionally seek medical help. Liquid ejected from the
battery may cause irritation or burns.
e ) Do not use a battery pack or tool that is damaged
or modified. Damaged or modified batteries may exhibit
unpredictable behavior resulting in fire, explosion or risk
of injury.
f ) Do not expose a battery pack or tool to fire or
excessive temperature. Exposure to fire or temperature
above 265 °F (130 °C) may cause explosion.
g ) Follow all charging instructions and do not charge
the battery pack or tool outside the temperature range
specified in the instructions. Charging improperly or at
temperatures outside the specified range may damage the
battery and increase the risk of fire.
6) Service
a ) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
person using only identical replacement parts. This will
ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.
b ) Never service damaged battery packs. Service of
battery packs should only be performed by the manufacturer
or authorized service providers.
Safety Instructions for Planers
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the tool
down. An exposed rotating cutter may engage the surface
leading to possible loss of control and serious injury.
• Hold the power tool by insulated gripping surfaces
only, because the cutter may contact hidden wiring.
Cutting a "live" wire may make exposed metal parts of the
power tool "live" and could give the operator an electric shock.
• Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by your hand or against the body leaves it unstable and
may lead to loss of control.
• Make certain that the switch is in the off position before
installing the battery.
• Be sure to switch OFF immediately if tool is jammed in work.
• Be sure tool is set for correct depth before turning switch
to ON.
6
• Be sure to maintain tool with care. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
• Be sure that the blades are mounted as described in the
instruction manual and check that all screws are firmly
tightened before installing the battery.
• Keep air vents unobstructed for proper motor cooling.
• DO NOT lay tool down on shoe when the blades are
exposed. This can chip the blades.
• Keep side discharge chute unobstructed at all times.
• Never reach under the tool for any reason unless it is turned
off and BATTERY IS REMOVED. BLADES ARE EXPOSED AND
EX TREMELY SHARP.
• Use this tool for working with wood and wood
products only.
• Always make sure the work surface is free from nails and
other foreign objects.
• Always operate planer with two hands. Never operate
without securely holding the front handle.
• Planer blades are extremely sharp. Handle with great care.
• Clean out your tool often, especially after heavy use.
Additional Safety Information
WARNING: Never modify the power tool or any part of it.
Damage or personal injury could result.
WARNING: ALWAYS use safety glasses. Everyday
eyeglasses are NOT safety glasses. Also use face or dust
mask if cutting operation is dusty. ALWAYS WEAR CERTIFIED
SAFETY EQUIPMENT:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection,
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory protection.
WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some
examples of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead‑based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from chemically‑treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas
with soap and water. Allowing dust to get into your
mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of
harmful chemicals. Direct particles away from face and body.
• Use the appropriate dust extractor vacuum to remove
the vast majority of static and airborne dust. Failure
to remove static and airborne dust could contaminate the
working environment or pose an increased health risk to the
operator and those in close proximity.
• Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control and injury.
