• Make all adjustments prior to plugging in the power cord.
• Be sure the switch is off before plugging in the power cord.
• Make sure there are no loose knots, staples, nails, etc. before attempting to plane.
• Securely clamp the stock before planning.
• Do not use in damp or inclement weather.
• Hold the power plane with both hands during the operation.
• Be sure the blade is not in contact with the stock before turning on the power.
• Only apply a gentle, downward pressure to the plane when using. The weight of the plane is satisfactory to complete the work.
• Push the plan at a constant, medium speed. Do not force the plane.
• Do not plane stock that is less than 8 inches long. Check your owner's manual for confirmation.
• Disconnect the power before attempting to clean out shavings and chips from the planer.
