22 Have your power tool repaired by a qualified elec-
trician
- This power tool conforms to the applicable
safety regulations. Repairs may only be per-
formed by an electrician using original spare
parts. Otherwise accidents can occur.
This device is not intended to be operated by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory or
mental abilities or who have inadequate experience
and/or knowledge.
Children should not be left unattended, to ensure they
do not play with the device.
SPECIAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• Do not use blunt blades. Risk of kick-back!
• The cutting block must be completely covered.
• Use a push stick for planing short workpieces.
• For planing narrow workpieces, you should take ad-
ditional safety precautions. The use of transverse
pressing devices and spring covers might be neces-
sary to guarantee safe working.
• The device is not suitable for cutting rebates.
• The kickback safeguard and the feed roller must be
checked regularly.
• Devices equipped with a chip extractor and extrac-
tor hoods should be connected to the correspond-
ing devices.
The type of material can have an unfavourable ef-
fect on dust formation.
• The device is only suitable for cutting wood and
similar materials.
• When the blade is 5% worn, it must be replaced.
• A missing push stick can lead to hazardous situa-
tions. The push stick should always be kept on the
machine when not in use.
• If small workpieces are inserted by hand, there is an
increased risk of injury. Manufacturer's recommen-
dations for the use of a push stick must be followed.
• Incorrect alignment of protective covers, feed table
or grille can lead to uncontrollable situations.
• Damaged or contaminated workpieces are danger-
ous. Metal parts or splintering material must not be
processed with this device. Risk of injury!
• Place long workpieces on the roller table or other
support device for cutting. Otherwise you could lose
control of the workpiece.
• The machine is only suitable for planing and thick-
nessing
• When working on the machine you should always
wear appropriate protective clothing:
- Hearing protection to protect against hearing
damage,
- A respirator to prevent inhalation of hazardous
dust particles,
- Protective gloves when handling the cutter shaft
and rough materials to reduce the risk of injury
from sharp edges,
- Safety goggles to avoid eye injuries from flying
particles.
• The following situations should be avoided in all cir-
cumstances: Premature interruption of the planing
process (planing cuts that do not cover the entire
length of the workpiece; planing uneven pieces of
wood that do not rest evenly on the feed table).
• Attention! If the mains connection is in poor condi-
tion, there is a risk of short circuits when the device
is switched on. This may also affect other functions
(e.g. the illumination of indicator lights). If faults
occur on the main grid connection, please contact
your local electricity supplier for remedial action and
information.
6. Residual risks
The machine has been built according to the state-of-
the-art and the recognised technical safety require-
ments. However, individual residual risks can arise
during operation.
• Health hazard due to electrical power, with the use
of improper electrical connection cables.
• Furthermore, despite all precautions having been
met, some non-obvious residual risks may still re-
main.
• Residual risks can be minimised if the "Safety infor-
mation" and the "Proper use" together with the oper-
ating manual as a whole are observed.
• Avoid accidental starting of the machine: the op-
erating button may not be pressed when inserting
the plug in an outlet. Use the tool attachment that
is recommended in this operating manual. This is
how to ensure that your machine provides optimum
performance.
• Keep your hands away from the work area, when the
machine is in operation.
Despite use as intended, specific risk factors cannot
be entirely eliminated. The following injuries may occur
due to the required course of work:
