Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the work piece
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 instructions to operate
unstable and may lead to loss of control. Maintain labels and nameplates on
the tool. These carry important safety information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement. Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the surface and pull the tool out of your control. Do not depress the spindle lock when starting or during operation. Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an electrical outlet.

Properly maintain and inspect to avoid electrical shock. Any power cord must be properly grounded. Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) should also be implemented - it prevents sustained electrical shock. 10. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead-based paints Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber Your risk from these exposures varies, 1.
Vibration Safety
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury: Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user. Use tools with the lowest vibration when
there is a choice.

Standard Association, and the National Electrical Code. 2. Double insulated tools may be used in either of the 120 volt outlets shown in the preceding illustration. (See Outlets for 2-Prong Plug.)
WARNING
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Extension Cords
1. Grounded tools require a three wire extension cord Double Insulated tools can use either a two or three wire extension cord.
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. Never remove the grounding prong from the plug. Do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
2.
As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss. of power and possible tool damage. (See Table A.) The smaller the gauge number of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. (See Table A.) When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required. (See Table
A.)

5.
If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size. (See Table A.) If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix "W-A" ("W in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
Tools marked "Double Insulated" do not require grounding. They have a special double insulation system which satisfies OSHA requirements and complies with the applicable standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc., the Canadian

creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage. The power cord must reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working. 3. Secure loose work pieces using a vise or clamps (not included) to prevent movement while working. There must not be objects, such as utility lines, nearby that will present a hazard while working.

The Guide (64) can be used to adjust the width of cut, support the Planer, and keep the Planer from drifting away from the cut line (i.e., the edge of a door). The Guide may be attached either to the right side of the Planer or on its left side. To do so, position the Planer on the wood stock that is to be cut Loosen the Screw (47) located at the front of the Planer. Insert the Guide into the mounting hole located on either side toward the front of the Planer. Slide the Guide in until it contacts the edge of the wood stock. Then, lock the Guide in place by retightening the Screw.

The Carbon Brushes are located on the side of the Right Motor Housing (45). To do so: a. Remove the two Carbon Brush Caps
(35).
b. Then, remove the two Carbon Brushes from the Brush Holders (38). c. If a Carbon Brush is worn down more than 1/2 of its original length, replace both Carbon Brushes. If, however, the Carbon Brushes are just dirty they may be cleaned by rubbing them with a pencil eraser. d. When installing the Carbon Brushes, make sure the carbon portion of the Carbon Brushes contact the Motor Armature, and that the springs face away from the Motor. Also, make sure the springs operate freely. e. After cleaning or replacement, replace the Carbon Brush Caps with a screwdriver and tighten firmly. CAUTION! Use caution as blades are very sharp. WARNING! Only straight blades can be used with this planer. 4 To reverse or replace the Blades: The Planer is equipped with two reversible Blades (57). Do not attempt to sharpen the Blades. Always reverse or replace the Blades as a sef in order to avoid an imbalance of the Blade Holder (59). To reverse or replace the Blades:
