h) Use proper extension cord. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating. Table
A shows the correct size to use depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

3) Personal safety
a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power
tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye
protection. Protective equipment such as a dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes, hard hat or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries.
c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the
OFF-position before connecting to power source and/or
battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power
tools with your finger on the switch or energising power tools
that have the switch ON invites accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the
power tool ON. A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part
of the power tool may result in personal injury.
EN
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. This enables better control of the power tool in
unexpected situations.
f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery.
Keep your hair and clothing away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction
and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and
properly used. Use of dust collection can reduce dust-related
hazards.
h) Do not let familiarity gained from frequent use of tools
allow you to become complacent and ignore tool safety
principles. A careless action can cause severe injury within a
fraction of a second.
4) Power tool use and care
a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for
your application. The correct power tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it ON
and OFF. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the
46
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or remove
92
the battery pack, if detachable, from the power tool before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the power tool accidentally.
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do
not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these
14
instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
12
e) Maintain power tools and accessories. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
12 parts and any other condition that may affect the power
tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained
cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and
are easier to control.
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in
accordance with these instructions, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use
of the power tool for operations different from those intended
could result in a hazardous situation.
h) Keep handles and grasping surfaces dry, clean and free
from oil and grease. Slippery handles and grasping surfaces
do not allow for safe handling and control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
5) Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person
using only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the power tool is maintained.
Additional Safety for Electric Planers
WARNING
• Wait for the cutter to stop before setting the 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 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.
