Always hold the tool firmly with both
hands for maximum control.
Never pull the plane backward over the
workpiece. Loss of control may occur.
Do not put fingers or any objects into the
chip ejector or clean out chips while tool
is running. Contact with blade drum will
cause injury.
Remove plug from power source if it
becomes necessary to remove chips. The
blades are hidden from view and you may be
cut if blade is contacted.
Never place the plane down until the
blade is completely at rest. Surface
contact with coasting blade drum may cause
the plane to walk out of control.
Never use dull or damaged blades. Sharp
blades must be handled with care.
Damaged blades can snap during use. Dull
blades require more force to push the tool,
possibly causing the blade to break.
Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known 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.
