SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT:
Follow the safety instructions when working with power tools to reduce the risk of electric shock, personal injury and fire. In addition to these instructions, you must always comply with the applicable regulations and laws concerning health, safety and the environment, as well as good praxis for working with wood processing machines.

• Do not use the power tool unless all the safety devices are correctly fitted and working.
• Never use planer heads that are blunt, warped, deformed or otherwise damaged – risk of kickback.
• The part of the planer head not in contact with the workpiece must be covered by  the guard.
• Use a feeder when planing short workpieces.
• Use an extra clamp when planing thin workpieces.
• Do not use a planer and thicknesses for chamfering or to cut slots, or rebates etc.

TECHNICAL DATA

Always wear ear protection!
The declared values for vibration and noise, which have been measured according to a standardised test method, can be used to compare different tools with each other and for a preliminary assessment of exposure. The measurement values have been determined in accordance with EN 61029-2-3:2011.
WARNING!
The actual vibration and noise level when using tools may differ from the specified maximum value, depending on how the tool is used and the material. It is therefore necessary to determine which safety precautions are required to protect the user, based on an estimate of exposure in actual operating conditions (taking into account all stages of the work cycle, e.g. the time when the tool is switched off and when it is idling, in addition to the start- up time).
