    PLANER SAFETY WARNINGS WARNING! Do not operate the power tool until you have read and understood the following instructions and the warning labels. WORKPIECE SAFETY 7. Never pull the planer backwards over the workpiece. Loss of control may occur. 1. Secure the workpiece to a stable platform using clamps or another practical method.

  • Page 7: Electrical Information

    ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DOUBLE-INSULATED TOOLS The tool’s electrical system is double insulated where two systems of insulation are provided. This eliminates the need for the usual three-wire grounded power cord. Double insulated tools do not need to be grounded, nor should a means for grounding be added to the product. All exposed metal parts are isolated from the internal metal motor components with protecting insulation.
