Additional Safety Rules - Makita 2012NB Instruction Manual

19. CHECK DAMAGED PARTS. Before further use
of the tool, a guard or other part that is
damaged should be carefully checked to
determine that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function - check for
alignment of moving parts, binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, mounting, and any
other conditions that may affect its operation.
A guard or other part that is damaged should
be properly repaired or replaced.
20. DIRECTION OF FEED. Feed work into a blade
or cutter against the direction of rotation of
the blade or cutter only.
21. NEVER LEAVE TOOL RUNNING UNATTENDED.
TURN POWER OFF. Do not leave tool until it
comes to a complete stop.
22. REPLACEMENT PARTS. When servicing, use
only identical replacement parts.
23. POLARIZED PLUGS. To reduce the risk of
electric shock, this appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the other). This
plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way.
If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet,

ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES

DO NOT let comfort or familiarity with product
(gained from repeated use) replace strict adherence
to planer safety rules. If you use this tool unsafely or
incorrectly, you can suffer serious personal injury.
1. Wear eye protection.
2. Make sure that all covers are installed in place
before operation.
3. Handle the blades very carefully.
4. Check the blades carefully for cracks or
damage before operation. Replace cracked or
damaged blades immediately.
5. Tighten the planer blade installation bolts
securely.
6. Remove nails and clean the workpiece before
cutting. Nail, sand or foreign matter can cause
blade damage.
7. Do not wear gloves during operation.

reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact
a qualified electrician to install the proper
outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
VOLTAGE WARNING: Before connecting the tool to
a power source (receptacle, outlet, etc.) be sure the
voltage supplied is the same as that specified on the
nameplate of the tool. A power source with voltage
greater than that specified for the tool can result in
SERIOUS INJURY to the user- as well as damage to
the appliance. If in doubt, DO NOT PLUG IN THE
APPLIANCE. Using a power source with voltage less
than the nameplate rating is harmful to the motor.
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 1
shows the correct size to use depending on cord
length and nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt, use
the next heavier gage. The smaller the gage number,
the heavier the cord.

the motor is running. Clean out chips after the
blades come to a complete stop. Always use a
stick etc. when cleaning them out.
9. Do not leave the tool running.
10. Do not abuse cord. Never yank cord to
disconnect it from the receptacle. Keep cord
away from heat, oil, water and sharp edges.
