General safety notes for handling power tools
WARNING

• Read all safety notes and instructions. Failure to follow all safety notes and instructions may result in electric shock, ire and/or serious injury.
• Store all safety notes and safety instructions for future reference.
  The term „power tool“ as used in the safety notes refers to mains-operated electrical tools (with power cables) and to battery operated power tools (without mains cables).

Safety at work

• Keep your work space clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
• Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust. Electrical tools create sparks, which may ignite dust or vapours.
• Keep children and uninvolved bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control of the device.

Electrical safety

• Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use an adapter plug in conjunction with protective­ earth devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets reduce risk of electric shock.
• 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.
• Do not expose power tools to rain and wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
• Do not misuse the cable by using it to carry the power tool, to hang it up or to pull the plug out of the socket. Keep the cable away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving device parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
• When operating a power tool outdoors, only use an extension cord that is also suitable for outdoor use. The use of a suitable extension cord for outdoor use will reduce the risk of an electric shock.
• When operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a residual current protective device (RCD). Use of an RCD reduces the risk of electric shock.

Personal safety

• This unit may not be used by people (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacities, with a lack of experience and without the appropriate knowledge, unless they are supervised by someone who is responsible for their safety or have been instructed by such a person with regard to how the unit is to be operated.
• Be careful and ensure that you pay attention to what you are doing and make sure you are using the power tool sensibly. Do not use power tools when you are tired, or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or prescription drugs. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Use personal safety equipment and always wear goggles. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, nonslip safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection, according to the type of power tool and the purpose, will reduce the risk of personal injuries.
• Avoid switching on accidentally. Ensure that the power tool is switched off before you connect it to the power supply/battery or carry it anywhere. Carrying power tools with your finger on the switch or plugging in power tools that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the device may result in personal injury.
• Avoid unnatural body positions. Ensure that you are standing securely and keep your balance at all times. This enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
• Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves well away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Rubber gloves and non-slip footwear are recommended when working outdoors.
• If facilities are provided for the connection of a dust extractor and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of these mechanisms can reduce dust-related hazards.
• Do not assume a false sense of security and do not overstep the safety rules for power tools, even if you are familiar with the power tool after many uses. Careless actions may cause serious injuries within fractions of a second.

Power tool use and care

• Do not overload the device. Use the appropriate power tool for the task in hand. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer in the power range for which it was designed.
• Do not use a power tool if the switch is defective. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
• Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove the rechargeable battery before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the device. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
• Keep power tools that are not in use stored out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons to operate the device who are not familiar with it, or who have not read these instructions. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
• Treat your power tools with care. Check for proper functioning of moving parts and that they do not jam, breakage of parts and any other damage that may affect the power tools operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Have any damaged parts repaired before using the device. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to jam and are easier to control.
• Use the power tool, accessories and other tools etc., in accordance with these instructions. Take account of the working conditions and the task to be carried out. Use of the power tool for purposes for which it was not intended may result in a hazardous situation.
• Keep handles and grips dry, clean, and free from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grips do not enable safe handling and control of the power tool in the event of unexpected situations.

Service

• Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only original replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power tool is maintained.

Safety requirements with regard to ire prevention

• Keep a fire extinguisher at hand. For wood and paper fires: Powder fir extinguisher (ire class ABC) or foam ire extinguisher (ire class AB) for electrical fires: Carbon dioxide (CO2) ire extinguisher (ire class B)

Special safety requirements for people with medical implants
Every power tool creates an electromagnetic field when used. Under certain unfavorable circumstances, this may affect the functionality of medical implants (e. g. pacemakers).
Before you use the electrical plane:

• Consult your doctor.
• Ask the manufacturer of the implant.

Special safety measures when working with the electrical plane

• Plane only with sharp and undamaged blades. Planning with blunt or damaged blades may lead to uncontrollable vibrations.
• Do not use blades made from high­ speed steel.
• Only use blades authorised for the revolutions of the electrical plane. Unsuitable blades can break and cause injuries when thrown out.
• Wait for the full revolutions to be reached after starting. Only then bring the electrical plane to the work piece. Touching the electrical plane with the work piece when at a low starting speed may cause uncontrollable vibrations.
• When planning, ensure that the planning shoe is always completely placed on the work piece! When lifting, the electrical plane may make uncontrollable movements.
• When planning, maintain an even feed motion. Forcing a higher feed speed carries a risk of accidents and leads to early wear of the blades!
• Empty the shavings collection bag on time. An overalled shavings collection bag leads to a cooling air blockage and device damage caused by overheating.
• Wait until the blade shaft has come to a standstill before putting the power tool down. An openly rotating blade shaft may catch on the surface and result in a loss of control as well as serious injuries.
• Do not mount the electrical plane to a stationary mechanism. The electrical plane is only suitable for manual operations.
• Do not plane against the direction of feed motion. When planning against the feed direction, the electrical plane may be kicked out of your hand.
• Always plane using both hands. When planning with just one hand, you may lose control over the electrical plane.
• Consider the unavoidable residual risks when working with the electrical plane. The following risks are present even when the safety mechanisms are in place:
  • Injury caused by touching the rotating blades
  • Injury caused by breaking and lying work piece parts
  • Fire caused by overheating of the motor in the event of insufficient removal of shavings
• Only hold the power tool by the insulated handles since the blade shaft is capable of cutting its own power cable. Contact with a overcarrying cable may also energies metal parts of the device and  cause an electric shock.
• Affix and secure the work piece to a stable surface using clamps or another suitable method. If you hold the work piece with your hand only or up against your body, it will be unstable which may lead to a loss of control.
• When the mains connection cable of this device is damaged, it must be replaced with a special connection cable that can be obtained from the manufacturer or their customer service.
• Wear a dust protection mask when using the device.
