2. Safety Instructions

Always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and personal injury when operating power tools.

General Power Tool Safety

• Work Area Safety: Keep your work area clean and well-lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Electrical Safety: Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.
• Personal Safety: Always wear eye protection. Use hearing protection when operating for extended periods. Dress properly; avoid loose clothing or jewelry. Secure long hair.
• Tool Use and Care: Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your application. Disconnect the battery pack from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
• Battery Tool Use and Care: Recharge only with the charger specified by the manufacturer. Use power tools only with specifically designated battery packs.

Specific Planer Safety

• Hold Tool Securely: Always hold the planer firmly with both hands during operation.
• Check Workpiece: Before planing, inspect the workpiece for nails, screws, or other foreign objects.
• Blade Safety: Keep hands away from the planing area and the blade when the tool is running.
• Dust Collection: Connect a dust extraction device when possible to minimize dust exposure.
• Safety Switch: The planer is equipped with a safety switch. It will only start when both the on/off switch and the safety switch are pressed simultaneously. This prevents accidental activation.
