Save all warnings and instruc-
tions for future reference.
The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your
mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated
(cordless) power tool.
Planer safety warnings
Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the
1.
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
2.
surfaces only, because the cutter may contact
its own cord. Cutting a "live" wire may make
exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
3. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the workpiece to a stable plat-
form. Holding the work by your hand or against
the body leaves it unstable and may lead to loss of
control.
4. Rags, cloth, cord, string and the like should
never be left around the work area.
5. Avoid cutting nails. Inspect for and remove all
nails from the workpiece before operation.
6. Use only sharp blades. Handle the blades very
carefully.
Be sure the blade installation bolts are
7.
securely tightened before operation.
8. Hold the tool firmly with both hands.
9. Keep hands away from rotating parts.
10. Before using the tool on an actual workpiece,
let it run for a while. Watch for vibration or
wobbling that could indicate poor installation
or a poorly balanced blade.
11. Make sure the blade is not contacting the
workpiece before the switch is turned on.
12. Wait until the blade attains full speed before
cutting.
13. Always switch off and wait for the blades to
come to a complete stop before any adjusting.
14. Never stick your finger into the chip chute.
Chute may jam when cutting damp wood.
Clean out chips with a stick.
15. Do not leave the tool running. Operate the tool
only when hand-held.
16. Always change both blades or covers on the
drum, otherwise the resulting imbalance will
cause vibration and shorten tool life.
17. Use only Makita blades specified in this
manual.
18. Always use the correct dust mask/respirator
for the material and application you are work-
ing with.
